Right, let’s see, how’s the smoking going? Or should that be how’s the non-smoking going? So far so good. I have to admit that the first couple of days were hell but it quickly became easier and although I have wanted to smoke I#ve managed to get passed it by telling myself that I’m going to be much fitter once I have been off the fags for a year and life will not only be better health wise but I will have a lot more money! Anybody that smokes and complains of not being able to afford the things they want should look at how much they are spending on cigarettes and then tell me that they really cant afford anything. Even after less than a week Ive noticed a difference. I went to the shop today to get a paper and bought a packet of Halls while I was there. I spent less than a pound. That would never have happened before because I would have had a packet of fags too.

As you have probably guessed, the determination is still high.
