Making A Start

At this point giving up smoking is just a commitment for the New Year, so I am trying to prepare myself mentally for the challenge ahead. There are 19 full days left until 3rd January at which point there will be no more cigarettes in my life.

Will it be difficult? I'm sure there will be some tough times but until I get going properly I can't really comment on them and that is what this blog is all about. So if you want to know how I am getting on, drop by regularly and find out.

For the record; I have been a regular smoker for about 26 years. I started when I was around 15 or 16 and it seemed grown up and cool to smoke, but now that I'm 42 the novelty has worn off and the dreaded weed is a bad habit that is shortening my life and threatening the health of everybody around me.
