One day at a time turns into one month at a time. I’ll be thin AND healthy in another 8 years.

I’m glad I held off.

While I sometimes think about what it would be like to smoke again, with my life the way it is now there’s simply no way I could imagine that ever happening.

The health benefits are invaluable because of your determination and will power to put your health first. The most important thing is you didn’t give in when the going got tough. Remember how significant 1 day, 1 week, 1 month were? Now you’re counting years! Amazing.

Congrats again, that is a very difficult addiction to quit and stick to.

Because honestly? I’m not sure I would have even DATED a smoker, let alone married one. ;-)

Your ex did a great thing for you by giving you the motivation to initally quit. I’m really glad that you’re able to maintain that on your own now.

Great post and I look forward to sharing more with you:)

I have and the first thing always seems to be that I’d panic. Being handed that amount of money all in one go isn’t just the crack-open-the-champagne event that everyone imagines. Going public with a big Lottery win draws a lot of attention and think I’d want to avoid that attention as much as possible.

I know that I’d want pay off my mortgage. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to get a mortgage, but no-one enjoys being in debt of any kind, and if I had the choice, I’d pay it off in full now. I’d also want to set my Mum up in the craft shop she always talks about, if it was the kind of dream she really did want to see through to reality.

But before I did any of that. I’d want to figure out what sum of money could practically guarantee that I’d never have to worry about money again, and put it away. I’d want to use my money to help others, but there’s no sense in doing that if you spend so much that you end up being in need of help yourself.

Other than those, it would just be travelling. Going on a luxury cruise wouldn’t appeal to me at all, neither would staying in huge five star hotels. But it would be nice to go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I’d like to just be able to chuck some stuff in a backpack or suitcase and just go. I want to see as much of the world as possible. The world, not the world’s luxury hotels, if that makes sense.

Of course, you do actually need to buy a ticket to win, which I haven’t done for ages. It probably won’t stop me dreaming though. :)
