DP and I have finally dropped the ciggies.. we were both getting sick of the habit.. so much so we, more so myself, were wasting tobacco by not smoking the entire ciggies, leaving half smoked dotches in the bin, which is like throwing pennies away!

Before ya go jumping on ya high horse.. we never smoked around Callia.. always outside and out of her breathing space.. still, we dun want her picking up our bad habits and taking them on as something ‘normal’..

I’ve been smoking for about 11 months.. my entire life.. I’ve only smoked for a total of no more than 3 years.. I tend to pick up the ciggies when I’m stressed out, tis my only vice.. but I’m hoping I can find another way to deal with it.. ‘cos the ciggies just make me feel like shite!..

I also have Type 2 Diabetes (Diet Controlled).. and was slapped on the wrist ‘n heavily lectured by an anesthetist earlier this year about it.. which reminds me.. I need to go in for a full screening again… *mumbles to herself* … anyways..

I’m quitting cold turkey.. this is my fourth day..  and to be totally honest, I’m feeling loads better already.. even if I’ve been going to the toilet like nobody’s business  .. I’m more than sure that it’s due to me carrying around a bottle of water just to busy my hands during the day.. I’m certainly feeling much better for it

DP, on the other hand, is using patches.. Nicabate CQ. He’s been smoking much longer than I have.. in fact, I was just going into high school when he started.. *smirks* .. so that makes it about 14 years in total. He finished off the last of the baccy in the flat and put the patch on last night.. he’s experiencing a bit of mild insomnia.. but it does warn you of that in the products leaflet.

So now we’re getting rid of all our smoking paraphenalia.. emptying the ashtrays and putting them away.. and clearing anything that would indicate we smoked.. outta sight outta mind

So here’s to finally being free of an annoying habit.. I’ll keep ya posted
