You guys were so supportive in my quitting thread, that I have been smoke free since May 2! Everyone's posts and encouragement made all the difference for me, and I appreciate it! :wavey: I would waver, and then someone would point out another reason to quit, and I would turn a corner. Thank you!!

Yes, apparently, I was smoking so much :oops: that by quitting and putting the money in jar, I saved enough to buy my first Chanel bag! Actually, I have to stay off the cigarettes so I can pay for the other half of it, but still . . .

Bought at Saks, so it's no doubt the real thing (warning, there are so many fakes on the net, it's just amazing!)

You guys totally rock!

Plus you wouldn't believe how the salespeople at all the stores just love me now, even if I don't buy anything. ;))

Problem though, DD wants one now . . . :shock:

Wow, gorgeous bag! Congrats on staying smoke free! :appl:
 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Congratulations! That's a mile stone to be extremely proud of! :appl:
 
That bag is divine, and very well deserved - congratulations!
 
:appl: congratulations! A very well deserved reward. I'll bet you feel every bit as good as you look!!
 
Woo hoo!!! What an accomplishment! You totally deserve that Chanel bag! Rock it, iLander! You totally deserve it!
 
Congrats! Just wait to see what you will have saved in a year!
 
Congrats!! What a wonderful choice as well, I love your new bag!!
 
Yay iLander! I quit on May 28th & have been totally smoke free too. Maybe I need a new purse too :rodent:

I love the bag you picked. And I'm so impressed you quit cold turkey like that! (I'm still using my e-cig some, but no tobacco whatsoever since May 28th.)
 
Good going iLander! Now if you could just get my daughter to quit with you. Maybe I need to bride her with one of those gorgeous Chanel bags!!!
 
Good girl, iLander!!! Great reward for yourself too. Now, what will DD have to quit to earn one?
 
You go girl! Great job, great bag! :wavey: Here's to your continued success!
 
congrats,nice Chanel.. :appl:
 
Helluva reward!!!! Congrats!!!!

Tell your daughter she can have one when she can pay for it. And maybe when she's ALMOST there you can kick in the rest for her time well spent saving.
 
congratulations iLander!!! I am so proud of you for being cigarette-free...and what a wonderful present :)
 
Congrats on your accomplishment ilander, that's fantastic!! :appl: And that's a gorgeous purse - enjoy it, you deserve it!
 
Glad you kicked the habit. Hope it never ever comes back again.
 
Congrats - what a great reminder of your accomplishment. ;))

Good job, LGK!! :appl: :appl: :appl:

You should totally treat yourself to something big; that you can point to and realize that you like IT a lot more than you like cigs. Life is short, enjoy it more!

You give me too much credit, I can't do the cold turkey thing, the victim/body count of my unhappy relatives would be WAY too high! :lol: I am plain nasty without some kind of crutch! I am down to 1/4 of a nico patch and I am trying to reduce the hours spent with it. Also, I suck on a lozenge about 3 times a day. It could be YEARS before I am completely off the nicotine. My aunt spent 7 years chewing the nico gum! My DH (who is also quitting) uses the E-cig when he's having trouble, but they just make me want to smoke more.

Congrats, LGK! :bigsmile:

THANK YOU, :wavey: , everyone, for your kindness!
 
I am very happy you quit smoking iLander!
 
Good for you, and EXCELLENT choice for your bag! :appl:
 
Congratulations to you! that's great news and I LOVE your new handbag! Very chic!

I never even thought of a quit smoking prezzie. Hmmmmm. I've been smoke free for five and a half months now. I think I'm behind in my shopping!
 
Congratulations! I know it hasnt been easy...you deserved to treat youself!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! :appl: What a pain it is, isn't it? Really pretty awful . . .

I think you really should treat yourself! Get something outrageous, that you wouldn't normally consider.

DH pushed me into getting it, and he's right, I do look at it and think I don't want to slide back into smoking.
 
iLander, I've been around but don't look at as many threads as I used to. Glad to hear that the quitting smoking is going great and CONGRATULATIONS on this purchase. You deserve it!
 
Congratulations, iLander!

great support from your hubby! i really like the idea of partial reward for time not smoking and motivation for not sliding back.

actually, one doesn't give up an addiction w/o replacing it with another "activity".....i think you found yours!

congrats!
