A month ago today I quit smoking... cold turkey.

I had always enjoyed smoking, and funny enough I have smoking friends that do not seem to enjoy the habit.  The go on about how they feel controlled by it, by how they want to quit but cant, etc etc... and the one that surprised me the most, was when some of them would say they didnt even enjoy it.

I enjoyed smoking, the whole time I smoked, from the first one in the morning, to the last one before drifting off... I never once wanted to quit, nor even entertained the idea.  I had "favourites" too... like the ones with morning coffee, or the ones I had when I got pissy and needed to "smoke it off"  and of course, the after the meal ones.... mmmm tasty. 

I always said "as long as I enjoy it, I will continue to smoke."

Well a while back I found myself not enjoying it... so I made the decision to quit.  But being full of pride, and not wanting to fail... I declared my quiting was to be for one month and one month only.  Knowing full well even if it drove me nuts, I could do the month, and not be one of those quiters that cant give it up.

So... on July 15th I stopped, and now its been a month, no cheating, no sneaking, nothing. 

I do miss my after dinner smoke the most... and my coffee/surfing ones as well... but after a month... and me having full rights to go back if I so choose.... it just seems silly to.

Im not saying I will never smoke again, and Im not saying I have quit full time and forever, truly ever and ever. 

BUT, for now, Im a nonsmoker and enjoying this new road, less travelled (at least for me). 

Awesome! Not that I have anything against smoking or smokers, but I was totally stoked to hear you quit, and really hope it will continue. We can still take 'smoke' breaks at LEGO events. I'm always up for stepping out for some fresh air.
