My resolutions?

Stop smoking- or at least cut down on my current intake of nicotine.

Work out a little more often.

Enroll in and attend classes in everything that interests me at any given time. Who knows? Maybe get a new degree?

And- watch less television!

Good luck on the stopping smoking.  I quit in September of 2007 and am happy I did.  Problem now is I'm taking that money I'm saving from not smoking and putting it into my new hobby:  photography.  That's almost as expensive!

So far, so good: I'm down to a half pack each day.

Day 12 of absolutely no nicotine... Cold turkey from 1 jan, no skoal or camel [:(]

But I am feeling healthier for it

I have kept these resolutions so far...

No shearing, beating, or dying of wool.
No tearing down of any buildings.
No talking on a CB radio.
Always obeying the law of gravity.
Watching a little bit of television every day.
Saying a nice thing to a stranger every day.

Wish me luck.

Power is nothing till you use it.

Wait another month.  You'll start the coughing now to purge your system.  It doesn't hurt, but you'll notice the coughing gets less and less, especially at night while you sleep.

And if anyone tells you that stopping cold turkey reduces the urge, or stopping at all, they are lying.  I still get cravings, but get through them.  It's a matter of managing willpower and being aware not to put yourself in a position to relapse.
