The Journey Begins


Wow! It has been MONTHS since I last posted ANYTHING to this blog, and for that I apologize. Life has gotten out of hand and now I am taking control again! However, this blog post has to do with the new journey I am embarking on:

I have decided that it is high time I quit smoking. Good for me, right? Of course it is good for me! But, it is going to be one of the most difficult journeys I have ever undertaken. This is something like attempt number 10 to quit smoking.

Already I am feeling an urge to smoke. I just had my supper and I usually have a cigarette after I eat. So, you can well imagine that I am fighting that craving right now.

How am I doing it? Will power and Commit lozenges.

How long will it take? The Commit program is 12 weeks, that's three months. Not sure if it will take that long with me, but it we shall see.

I am going to keep you all informed of my journey and ask that you lend me some support. Like I said, this is a very difficult task for me and I will need the support along the way. Stories of how you or someone you know quit might be helpful and inspiring for me.

I cannot promise you that I will post something every day of this journey, but I will definitely keep you informed of my successes and failures (may there be very few of the latter).
