Well, I have something to share and I'm hoping to have your support. I'd love it if you all would share what you're doing as well, so we can support each other.
Right now I am smoking what I am determined will be my last cigarette. And I'm also sipping what I am going to make sure is my last vodka on ice. As hard as it's going to be, I'm quitting smoking and drinking today - completely.
I've cut back on drinking over the last several years, I used to have drinks with every meal (even breakfast) and a few more throughout the day besides but I've cut it down now to about one every few days - and now I think I'm finally ready to cut alcohol out of my life entirely. It's going to be hard - Bosnian culture is a very hard one for those who don't eat meat or drink alcohol - you're likely to die of starvation or thirst before any other options present themselves, hahaha.
Smoking I've not cut back at all, I still smoke a pack a day... I think that's going to be the hardest but I can do anything if, by not doing, I dishonor my word - so that's what this thread is for me.
And there we go... I've thrown the remaining four cigarettes in my pack, and two flasks of vodka (one full) away... I think it's important to do that because if I just finish "what I have", it'll never stop.
I'll update my progress whenever I need to scream. lol Wish me luck!
