Day 28 - Ask for what you want

An email I sent today:

Dear Friend

As you know, since December 2003 I have been stopping smoking, with some success, and a few relapses.

On Tuesday 6 April 2004 I will be one month free of nicotine. One month is the longest I've not smoked for since 2000 and represents a major milestone for me.

As such, Tuesday would be an excellent day for you to send me a supportive message of any sort.

I think this would also be a good time for me to apologise to you for any short temperedness, clumsiness, and general failure to function in a reasonable fashion over the last three months.

Cheers :)
