… etc.
New Year’s Eve was lame. Had another fucking cold, and was dosed up on decongestants so couldn’t even have a drink.
The recurring colds though do seem to have had one benefit – I have not had a cigarette since Tuesday 16th December. Finished a pack off that night, which made my sore throat & cough worse, so I didn’t buy anymore. And even though the cough, cold, sore throat etc. have since gone, I have (so far) still managed to resist buying anymore. Early days though, eh.
I’ve been back at work now since Friday 2nd January.
Meh.
I seem to have lost my motivation (not that I had a huge amount anyway of course). Having almost a fortnight off work really did not help.
Still, it’s getting busier now, so is not quite so dull, I guess.
And I’ve gone almost a whole two weeks back at work without smoking. No chaining on the walk to work. No cigarettes at morning break, lunch, or afternoon break. No chaining on the walk home.
Also went out twice last week. Wednesday night with people I used to work with, to the Tram Depot. Saturday night with Rich and Rob, to the Live and Let Live. And managed to not smoke either night. No poncing fags off of anyone else, no nipping to the nearby shop to buy some, no buying packets at extortionate prices from the pub fag machine, etc.
So that’s two main “tobacco times” I’m so far resisting – work and nights out.
I really need to keep it up…
