Day 1: A Couple of Slices of Cold Turkey Please

The hardest cigarette to give up for me is the first one. This was not so bad today and my early resolve was triumphant. Off to work without my nicotine fix. The last time I made a half serious effort to give up was a couple of years ago and I tried the Nicorette Lozenges. At the time I thought they were very good because they did take away the urge for a cigarette, but if you sucked them too hard they made you feel ill. This time I have gone for the power of the mind, which worked for me the last time I gave up (1991). That lasted 9 months and then, out of nowhere, Christmas came along! 1 party, 1 cigarette, 1 downhill spiral.
