I need to congratulate myself------ Well Done Bill--- as I have now passed the six month anniversay of not having a cigarette.. I really am chuffed about this as I see it as a major milestone along the short lifecycle I have left in front of me. Being 60 years old and acknowledging I have far less time ahead than behind I can at least recognise that I finally did something concrete to try and extend my life before the feet finally loosen their grip and one falls off the perch.
I am feeling somewhat better, my wallet is fuller, my daughter is looking forward to seeing what her father actually smells like without nicotene, I can now smell a cigarette at 15 metres, and my food is tasting better. Thius is still somewhat of a pity as it also means I am enjoying it more and am struggling to shed the 8 kgs I have put on. I remain committed to working on it.
Maybe the upcoming trip to the US, UK and Greece will assist in a lifestyle change in food. This trip is now only 1 week away and is the reward for giving up the cursed nicotene. WE will be staying with Al and Ant in the UK so they will be able to see how I have managed to control my temper and overcome the bad habits that go with smoking.
I dont intend to blog again until I return from the trip so enjoy this, my final blog for a couple of months.
