In summary the invention relates to:

1. A unique reward system using the trophies. In particular, the use of a bracelet or bangle and a set of charms (which are representative of "trophies") for indicating that a wearer has achieved certain goals. In one example, the system may be applied to the treatment of an addiction, for example, substance abuse, in which a particular trophy is allocated based on abstaining for a certain number of days. In another embodiment the trophy may indicate that the wearer has "started up" something or achieved a particular goal.

2. Using the Maratho,z idea of 5k 10k 21k 42k as equivalent to days of giving up. In particular, a trophy may be allocated based on abstaining for the number of days which corresponds to a common running distance, for example, a 5km, 10km, 21km (half marathon) or 42km (full marathon) running distance. It should be noted that the 5 day point in the breaking of an addiction is fairly significant, since the first five days of abstinence are in general the most difficult. Furthermore, after approximately 40 days of abstinence, most drugs will have completely left the bloodstream. Thus, the link between these running distances and the number of days a person has abstained from an addictive substance is significant.

3. The paper wrap' that holds the trophies. Paper wraps are common for packaging certain drugs like cocaine, and the use of such a wrap as part of a method of treating an addiction may be beneficial from a psychological point of view.

4. The money slot in the pack that gives you a money saving box. Preferably, the system for treating an addiction comprises a pack, for example a cigarette pack, which contains the various materials helpful in treating the addiction. In one embodiment the pack is in the form of a cigarette box. In this case it is provided with a perforated cut-out that enables the cigarette box to be used as a savings or charity box. Thus, money that would otherwise have been wasted on the addiction can either be saved or given to charity. In another embodiment, the pack may be used to reward the achievement of certain goals, for example, in a system for rewarding children, the pack may be used to reward a child who cleans their room or completes their homework. In this case, the pack may be in the form of an egg.

5. The seal sticker that gives you Today' instead of Turkey'. In the case where the pack is in the form of a cigarette pack, which can be converted into a savings or charity box, a logo and/or slogan displayed on the surface of the pack may be transformed using a sticker, which seals the pack.

Thus, once the content of the pack has been removed, the pack may be sealed using a sticker having a slogan displayed on the sticker which modifies a pre-printed slogan on the pack.

The invention is now described, purely by way of example, with reference to the following

description and appended figures.

Getting started The Big Cold Turkey A guide to The Big Cold Turkey.

The Big Cold Turkey, giving it up for the love of life.

It's time to give up. It's time to take control of your life. Show those nasty little addictions and bad habits who's boss. It's time for The Big Cold Turkey.

We all do things we wish we didn't. Smoking, drinking too much, eating too much chocolate, over-spending and biting our nails are just a few examples. * S. * . S *ISa

Welcome to The Big Cold Turkey. S * S..

Giving something up isn't easy. Even deciding to do it is hard work, never mind seeing it through. But we can all do it - we just need a bit of help and encouragement along the way. That's where The Big Cold Turkey comes in. We can't do the giving up for you, but we've made it our mission to give you the inspiration to make a start and the motivation to keep going.

So here's the kit that'll help you kick it. It'll be more fun if you've got a buddy who's also trying to give something up, but if you want to be really brave and do it all by yourself you can. By taking part in The Big Cold Turkey you'll be joining other people all over the world in kicking those bad habits that can get a grip on our lives, cost us money, and damage our physical and mental health.

Just some of the things you may want to consider giving up...

Alcohol, binge drinking, smoking, chocolate, gambling, drugs, shopping, sex, not eating, over eating, sugar, caffeine, biting nails, junk food, speeding, over spending, TV, chat lines, computer games, Internet.

How it works When you're in training for a marathon, you don't do the whole thing on the first day. You build it up, little by little: first 5k, then 10k, 21k and then the full 42k. The Big Cold Turkey works in the same way. You take one step at a time: giving up for periods of 5, 10, 21 or 42 days. Easy peasy.

Well, maybe not that easy. But it's a way of starting you off. You get a chance to build up your confidence and commitment. And after that, who knows? If you stick at it, you might be confident enough to say: I've given up for life.' * *.

* * The Big Cold Turkey The Big Cold Turkey starter kit You've taken the first step on a very important journey. You are now officially part of The Big Cold Turkey adventure.

In your starter kit you will find the following goodies to commemorate your commitment: two badges, a tattoo, a 42-day diary, this booklet, a wristband, four stainless steel trophies for your wristband (to mark your target days) and a seal to turn your pack into a money savings box.

As well as your Big Cold Turkey starter kit (see Figures 1 and 2), you will also need: 1. Determination 2. Willpower 3. A companion 4. A good reason 5. Lots of strength The steps 1. Choose your big day 2. Choose how many days you'll do 3. Make the commitment : ***. 4. Put your trophies somewhere safe until you need them 115$ 5. Useyour42-daydiary 6.

: The four stages of The Big Cold Turkey.

S

* j For every stage of The Big Cold Turkey you complete, you earn a trophy to add to your wristband. This will remind you of how far you've come. It will also signal to others your commitment to giving it up (see Figure 3).

How to attach your trophy.

As you complete each stage of The Big Cold Turkey you earn a trophy to attach to your wristband (see Figure 4). -11 -

1. Fold your trophy at the first set of creases to a 45 angle and then place it over the correct number.

2. Fold the rest of the trophy round and under your wristband and press firmly in place.

Preparing for your big day This is an important step. Don't necessarily choose tomorrow'. Choose a day that'll give you the time you need to psyche yourself up and get you thinking positively. You could use the time between now and then to do a bit of research and remind yourself about all the nasty, negative aspects of your habit and to have a think about all the positive things about giving up. Maybe you could contact a relevant support group too. You can find useful links on The Big Cold Turkey website.

www.thebiqcoldturkey.com : ** Make the commitment (see Figure 5) The easiest way of making the commitment to start your journey is to do The Big Cold *::: 20 Turkey with a buddy. If you're stuck without a companion, you can register with other *:. people on The Big Cold Turkey website.

As part of your commitment, sign and date the booklet in your kit, swap it with your * buddy, and register together as a team on The Big Cold Turkey website.

When your chosen day arrives, put on your wristband, and maybe even your badges and tattoo. Now the world knows how dedicated you are. You might even encourage others to give something up too.

Join others - 12- You can log on to our website and choose one of our designated starting dates to run The Big Cold Turkey with other people all over the world. Remember to pick the date that fits best with you. And don't worry, we've got a new starting date every week (see Figure 6).

Make a difference While you're there, you can also download The Big Cold Turkey official sponsorship form (see Figure 7). Finding your own sponsors will give you another reason to succeed. All the money you raise can go to a cause of your choice, so you'll feel doubly good.

Start saving Once you have tipped all the goodies out of your Big Cold Turkey box, you can seal it and use it as a money box and start saving the money you would otherwise be spending on your habit (see Figure 8). If your habit didn't cost anything, why not save money * ** anyway and give it to someone who may need it more than you? Think what you could save in 42 days (another reason to be cheerful). * S. * S **S.

* :* :: 20 1. Carefully punch out the perforated edge of the money slot. S..

2. Now seal you pack with the saving seal. Make sure you correctly align the sticker to reveal the new message. *S*S S 5

Why not give something up and help others.

We'll donate 10% of our profits to support the real victims of drink and drug related misery - children from broken families and victims of domestic violence.

We'll also use the money to support young people at risk from drug and alcohol related abuse and support the fight against obesity in children.

The more Big Cold Turkey kits you buy, the more people we can help. If you fancy chipping in, buy a Big Cold Turkey kit and give it to a stranger (they might just thank you for it).

Further aspects of the invention are now described.

The Big Cold Turkey - Giving it up for the love of life.

The idea is very simple. Based on our own experience of trying to give up things that we don't want to do, we decided to create a new idea that makes Giving up' cool rather than nerdy. Because the idea is based on an individual giving up whatever they want to give up, it means lots of different people can be united together in a common cause, giving up : avarietyof things. * S.. S *

It basically works on the same principle as training and running the London marathon - working up from 5k, 10k and 21k to the full marathon 42k, only this time it's in terms of days -5, 10, 21 and 42 days.

Inspired by the yellow Lance Armstrong - LivestrongTM wristbands we've taken it a step * further and created a system using stainless steel trophies that reward and mark the stages of the marathon. The whole thing comes in a shrink wrapped, cigarette-box sized pack and includes: A getting started booklet, 4 stainless steel trophies in a paper wrap, 2 button badges, a 42-day diary - One day at a time' and a transfer tattoo.

Once you've opened the pack you can re-seal it and use it as a savings box. There is also a website to log on to, allowing people to join others around the world. From the website you can download your own Big Cold Turkey sponsorship form, 4 certificates to commemorate each stage and The Big Cold Turkey song to help you when the going gets tough.

The product is currently in production so please excuse the mock ups.

We have also set up a foundation to donate 10% of all our profits to support young people living with the effects of addiction.

The packs will be sold whole sale at 7.00 and can retail for 10.00. The unit cost will come down significantly when we do the second run of 100, 000.00. The first batch is limited to 10,000.00, split into two wristband sizes S/M, M/L (Men and Women).
