13th August 2013 it will be 3 years since I stopped using nicotine altogether.
One, two, three "YAY ME!"
When I quit smoking, I coined the phrase Quitversary, and have since given myself little presents to celebrate the odd one or two... new shoes (which didn't work out, sadly) new camera, a PS3, and after 6 months - a tattoo!
I had always wanted a tattoo, and thought that it was the ideal time, 6 months after quitting, to celebrate the permanent decision I had made to stop using Nicotine altogether. Nothing says permanent like a tattoo, right?
So now, 3 years into my new found freedom from Nicotine, I have just put the deposit down for my next tattoo (in a series of four) which is being designed by the kind people at Infinite Ink in Coventry. I was a bit shocked when they quoted me the price, but when I consider that I could spend upwards of £155 per month on cigarettes, EACH month, I think I could let myself off for something that is actually worthwhile (and that won't kill me).
So, by the 11th August 2013, I will have been smokefree for 3 years, and will have saved a whopping £5,475+.
By the 22nd August, I will have (if the design goes well) another lovely commemorative tattoo!
Aren't I FABULOUS!
