Nope. All that's left for me - just to admire my wife :)

Agreed. Or even walk up an escalator without getting out of breath. Getting fit though, for me, I suspect is just too ambitious. I like that your resolution is to keep something up rather than some seismic change. Nice one. :)

Thanks. I saw a phyisiotherapist earlier in the year and after a few visits we agreed my problems were a bit deeper than he could deal with but he knew how to find the right personal trainer for me (specialising in long term problem issues) so I'm getting there at last. It might be suitable for you as well. It cost me a bit but well worth the money.

New years resolutions that is. Ah yes time to stop smoking again, its tradition after all, a bit like presents at Christmas and Eggs at Easter. Anybody got any good ones? I was thinking of just using last year's but with one enormous addition - a whole year on the wagon. Has anyone ever attempted such a feat, and if so was it a good idea? I'm slightly concerned it will be make dull(er).

January 1, 2011 marks the 20th anniversary that I quit smoking. Starting smoking was the dumbest fucking thing I've ever done, and quitting is one of the smartest.

What is the point of that? Either give it up or don't. Don't faff about. Did you know that one of the signs of alcoholism is to give it up for a 'period', just to prove that you can?

7 months and it's been a struggle but worth it. But I smoked off and on for 45 years!
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. http://www.hq4thmarinescomm.com[^]

Sounds like quitting smoking was pretty easy for you. Do you think you could do the same with that nasty bad habit of cussing!? :laugh:

My resolution is to quit smoking...oh wait, I did that already last March and still going strong. :) I wouldn't do a year on the wagon unless I switched to Mary Jane or something. I see no useful purpose in deliberately giving up the ability to self medicate as necessary. However, that being said, the ancient Stoic philosophers whom I have a lot of time for had a concept of "voluntary discomfort" which is designed to inoculate a person so that when involuntary discomfort strikes they will be better prepared to handle it so in that vein I say go for it. At the very least you will be a very popular guy to bring to parties to be the driver.

Goodluck, when I quit smoking I got an insatiable hunger and gained 20 pounds which I've yet to shed. I also drank a lot more for a short period. When my friends would light up at a bar or party, I would just drink more to distract myself.

Hey congratulations! It's been over 9 months for me and I smoked mostly on for about 25 years.

Thanks you too! It's a hard habit to kick. The only reason I was able to quit this time with reasonable success is that I quit drinking several years ago and you can't do one without the other.

My SiteI chalk it up to cold turkey and the actual desire to quit this time for serious and not just as a "I really should quit" kind of thing like I did a million times before. Ironically though I drank like a fish for months at every opportunity to help me quit and I think it really did help a lot.

Everybody has a system to quit and for you drinking helped. I quit years ago for 8 years but stress finally overtook me and I started again.

As far as the cussing goes, I use it as I think is appropriate, based on the emphasis required and the audience.
