Free!

Finally I am free! The house is gone, all the debts cleared and a new life awaits me.

I am now WELL over a month without the dreaded weed and despite a few near misses during the runup to completion of the house sale, I have stayed the course. I still wake up each morning and repeat to myself that I am a non smoker. but the ritual is shorter each day. Just a momentary reflective thought to recognise what I have achieved so far.

I am off to a quiz night at the pub tonight. I know I shan't succumb, as I have been a couple of times. I doubt I shall have much to drink, it is more a social thing, getting out, meeting new people, having a laugh (especially at myself when I get an easy question wrong!)
