Smoking
Wednesday, 29. August 2007, 14:04:59
Friday 24 august 2007 was the last day I smoked a cigarette. Together with my wife, we decided to call it quits. So far no problems whatsoever...
I used to smoke almost a pack a day, beginning with a few cigarettes a day from the time when I was 17 years old, slowly increasing over the years. I stopped for a few years in between, and there were times I only smoked in the weekends when I went out. The last several years I would smoke between 10 to 15 cigarettes a day.
I had some slight headaches on last saturday and sunday, directly related to my body wanting nicotine, but that has gone now. Best feeling of all is not being dependent anymore and thus feeling much more free It has been much easier then I thought...it's still early though..

Quite an achievement, you should be proud!

You're from Glasgow, Celtic or Rangers?

I find it difficult to stop smoking because I actually enjoy it. I realise the negative effect it'll have on my health though so I'm trying to quit before my habit gets any worse.
And although you don't think it's not an achievement it definitely is because many people struggly to quit!

I can get lightheaded just from being around someone smoking.
Anyway, good for you and your lady!
