usually people tend to make a vow that they'll give up something like you do for lent but your actually being serious on new years, so have any of you decided to give up anything for 2010?

I decided to quit smoking a few months ago as I was getting pains in my chest (11yrs smoking), I had got it down from 20 a day to one at night, but when I was out on the rip I'd find myself having a few smokes so I decided to give up drinking too I haven't had a smoke in 3weeks applause , also this new years will mean I've been clean from drug use for a year yay (it was a 10yr habit) I never went so far as to do heroine,meth or crack but I did do pretty much everything else under the sun.

Yep i'm giving up giving up stuff cause I ain't no quiter. . . . Don't believe in lent so never give up anything then, so I usually give up something in the new year and last about a month so from now on i'm just not going to give up anything. . . . grin

I think Jan is the worst time to give up anything. Thats why I waited till Feb to stop smoking. All the nicorette adverts after xmas just made me light up!

I dont believe in New Years resolutions, I think it can be setting yourself up to fail and then feel awful about failing.
If something needs to be changed I do it when it feels right.

You'll know when the time is right for you to stop smoking. Try reading Alan Carrs book The Easyway.

is that the infamous book where if you read it cover to cover you'll quit then and there.

cold turkey, fair play to ya I chew the nicorette gum fruity flavour nom nom nom, the first week can be hard but if you keep yourself busy you hardly notice you've not had one it gets easier after that i think, everyone tackles these things in the way they find suits them best.

I wish you all the best of luck and hope you stick with it, if not for your health, do it for the health of your kids.

Won't give up anything, life's too short to make sacrifices on things you like, even if they're bad for you. JMO! Congrats on giving up the cigarettes though grin
