Day 1 - it starts here !

I saw on the telly the other day that about 1 million people in the UK will try to give up smoking today and that 750,000 of them will be smoking again within a week.

I find this extremely compelling and it's further hardened my resolve. I like to think I have a bit of willpower and here's my chance to show it. I'm damned sure I can make it past a week (providing I don't drink).

I'm staying off the beers too, just to be sure.

Anyway, it's day 1 and everything is going ok so far. I don't have too much of an urge to smoke, it's there in the background but not too strong. I gave up on New Year's Eve so I'm kind of a day ahead of schedule. I did notice how I ate more than usual yesterday which I think was replacement for the smokes, hopefully this will ease up a bit.

The only downside is I feel slightly constipated today but I'm topping up on sugary tea which usually does the business for me :)

Happy New Year !
