It’s that time of the year when people make life-changing resolutions. It’s all about accomplishing something for yourself in 2008. For me, there’s one major habit that I need to quit: smoking.

I haven’t really made a conscious effort to quit in the past. I’ve seen most of my friends get on the patch, stat chewing gum or just go cold turkey. It’s worked for some, but it hasn’t for others. Through it all I’ve looked at them with a kind of sympathy. I know how hard it can be to not smoke again. Unfortunately a lot of smokers I know never actually quit for good. They just give up for long periods of time, before inevitably going back to the habit.

I don’t really have a plan, or even short term goals to be smoke-free, but maybe it’s better that way. As the countdown to midnight begins, I plan on putting out my last cigarette. I know the first few weeks are going to be tough, but I should be alright after that initial stage. I think the hardest thing to do would be to be around other smokers. All I know is that I’m mentally determined to do this, and for me, that’s half the battle won. Here’s to my cleaner lungs in 2008!
