  • If I were Nick, how would I keep myself on track?
    • Write down my reasons for quitting on a card and keep it in my wallet.
    • Make a contract with myself, sign it and put it on the fridge.
    • Find new ways to deal with stress in my life.
    • Reward myself by celebrating milestones; using my savings to treat myself to a new barbecue or a holiday in Europe!
