(2) A spread-sheet which I used to keep track of the money that I saved by not smoking. Every so often I would use some of that money for a treat (a nice restaurant meal, a book that I always wanted, etc).
I still use that spread-sheet - it helps me to stay motivated.

I have all kinds of money socked away so it isn't money. Nicotine patches at a high dose turn me off. I don't even smoke as much as they dump into your system.
Yes, I can buy patches but I didn't have the money then plus I thought they offered some kind of counsel, which they didn't.
