Day 14 - Friday January 25th 2008

This is now 2 weeks since my last fag (sorry but that's what we call them in the UK. I know you may laugh if you're from the States, but hey, we think it's funny when you talk about fannies!).

Anyway, back on topic. Sometimes now I think I've done so well that it won't hurt just to have one. Well I know that's not true and "just one" would lead to "just another one, then yet another one", etc, etc.

I've given up before and rewarded myself by having a cigar. It came to the point where I would say to myself "I'll only have a cigar when I go to the pub for a drink". It wasn't long before I found myself going to the pub on my own on a Saturday afternoon for a drink, just so I could have a cigar.

Other times, I've decided just to buy 10 and keep them in the car and only have one when I'm driving. So all of a sudden, I developed a hobby of "going for a quick drive". It's totally ridiculous.

Now of course, it won't be so easy with the smoking laws so at least I won't be able to go to the pub for a cigar. That's a good thing I think.

Saved so far £115.50
