After swimming practice last night, I finally decided to give up smoking. I was coughing and wheezing like an old man trying to do my 400m freestyle.

It’s been almost 25 hours since my last cigarette, and I was kinda cranky on the boat today.

The rest of the crew have a sweep going as to how long I last before crack

This was the first morning in 4 years when I haven’t opened my eyes and sparked up a fag and stuck it in my mouth…

Good luck man! Hope you manage it, I’d love to quit – but not quite yet. I’m still enjoying it. Eventually though I’ll get right tired of it and just stop one day. No quite yet.

thanks for the support folks – day 5 and still going strong

Although I did have some lassie over last night and she kept lighting up – you know you’re still hooked if your first instinct is to jump on the cigarette…

Just continue :)

Comment by Scandinavian Lassie

hows it going ?? still off the smoke?

Comment by Scandinavian Lassie

I did however have a cigar the other night, which of course does not count as you don’t inhale cigars.

Right ?

Or am I just kidding myself on ???
