I am feeling quite chuffed with myself.  Early days I know, but smoke free since 1st January.

Funny thing is that it wasn't planned.

I had a really bad cough, and thought it wise to not smoke at the time.  A week later, the cough settled and I thought it was silly to smoke again and iritate it and make me cough again, so didnt bother.

Was quite surprised to discover that I didn't really miss it.  I kept busy and realised my smoking was more a habit than an addiction.

Some people would say get rid of all related products so you wont be tempted, but that doesnt work with me.  

If I dont have any, then I will crave it and want it,  if I have it in the drawer available, I dont want it.

So I have to keep some tobacco, tips, papers etc in the drawer.

Oddly enough, I havent told any of my friends, and nobody seems to have noticed that I am not smoking yet.

The longer it goes on, the more determined I am to keep it up.
