Why hello there and where have you been?

Almost one half of a month, 2 weeks, 14 days or however else you would like to phrase it. That is how long it has been since my last smoke.

Those who have been visiting since the early days and who have read all of my “Im quitting hell yeah” posts may be a little suspicious of this news however it would seem that at this point I really do have it licked.

My latest attempt was in part kicked off and assisted by the addition of a beautiful woman in my life, now while I say that she has assisted I in no way mean she is the reason for the attempt but rather that she gives me the strength that I need to plunge ever forward with the attempt.

I feel that it is going well so far even though I have had small pockets where I have felt despair, anger and even admiration for my now ex friend tobacco. The first three to four days were the worst, I snapped at many people and felt ready to kill all who opposed me or felt the need to stupidly question if I could actually do it or not. This part now seems to of passed and I am left with a feeling of achievement if not careful cheerfulness about the whole thing.

I still have the feeling that I could at any time slip and fall back into the pit, I also have to keep reminding myself that having a cigar is not a “compromise” it is a failure and should be avoided at all costs.

I shall attempt to update and reflect upon this in another two weeks and let you know how it is progressing.
