| I quit smoking and I'm doing just fine. It was always just psychological with me I believed and I was right. The nic-fits I get are really just situational. Someone smokes on TV, and I'm dying to go outside for one. The Pavlovian responses are what I gotta deal with. I got a tube of lifesavers in the car for whan I get an itch there. Can't wait for spring so I can switch to spitting sunflower seeds out my window. I might break it next time I go to the guv patio. I've never been to the guv patio without lighting up. Can't imagine just going there to socialize. |

I didn't start smoking until university. then I stopped after university for a few years. none of my entourage smoked, so no reason to. Then I moved back to Ottawa and Gatineau, where smoking was the norm, so took it up again there, cuz I almost felt left out.
It was nice smoking indoors everywhere, in every store, even while grocery shopping!!! I smoked again once back in Toronto because my boss did, so I brown-nosed there. Off again for a couple of years, then switched office buildings after HP shot down after they closed all of our Compaq offices. So yeah, so over 10 years total, and about 2-3 packs per week.
I must confess though... I did smoke half a pack this weekend at the Seneca Casino, because people were smoking everywhere indoors there at the tables, restaurants, so it was so irresistable! I did not buy any smokes to come back with me across the border, so I'm at least on the right track :) |

So you started again on Saturday? I think that's more like taking a vacation than quitting. ;)
I don't wait until New Years to decide on how I want to improve myself or my life. Having said that, I did set several goals during the pre-winter months, and so far I believe I have followed through on all of them:
- Read more (check - tore through at least 15 books during Christmas vacation alone)
- Re-establish the regular workout routine I had before the cold came (check)
- Take up snowboarding (check)
- Finish all the condo work left hanging in '07 (check - in progress)
- Be more sociable and less shy (and how - I expected it to be harder than it really was)
- Eliminate sleep (OK, that wasn't actually a goal, but I've been doing a very good job of it)
- Improve the organization and reduce clutter at work and at home (check - not a single loose paper or receipt lying around except for a couple of notepads)
Only thing on the list I haven't done yet is to fix my incredible shrinking RRSP - very easy to procrastinate on since I know I'll be forced to do it by March anyway - but I have at least tentatively decided on a new strategy, so I'm giving that a half-check. |
