I am very proud of myself. I have a goal in my head, and a picture of my reward on my wall.

I am a firearms enthusiast. It is my sport. I go the range once a week, and love to shoot.

When I save enough, I am going to FINALLY get my dream weapon. I carry (and prefer) a style of pistol called the 1911. There are MANy different makers and differences of 1911's. The big daddy and I think the BEST 1911 is custom made by Ed Brown. He can even engrave my name on it. I want an Ed Brown 1911 in stainless with my name or initials on it. It costs $2,800.00 all said and done. SO, when my quit smoking app says I have saved that much, I WILL be ordering one for my reward. (I am also saving the money in a separate account.

I figure it will take me about 17 months to get there, which is perfect, because it will be right about time for my 43rd birthday.

Yeah ME!.
