Well I stopped on New Year's Eve. I've only had one cigarette since then and I hated it.

I think I've broken through. I rarely even think about smoking these days. Though I must make sure I don't get too complacent. I’m getting my kicks from the gym these days. I never knew quite how pleasurable the pain could be!

I can go to pubs and clubs without wanting to smoke. In fact, I find myself heading for all the non-smoking areas, and also complaining about how few there are in London!

I seem to have done it without coming on the Q. Truth is that it's always been there at the back of my mind, and it's nice to know that if I did feel the craving I had somewhere to go. Thanks to all who sent me a pat on the back on my one-month anniversary.
