The Journey Begins Today

So, I don't really have an idea on how to start writing this blog, and what will be its content, but, and it's a big BUT, I stopped smoking today, yeah yeah, thank you. You're probably saying Good Luck and stuff and think to yourself "Yeah, Right, Like I Quit Yesterday...". So, what can I say, you maybe right, its my first day, lets see how it goes.

Today I woke up, with my throat dry and hurts, my chest hurts and a bad smelly taste in my mouth. Today my taste was so bad and disgusting that I've decided that today I Quit Smoking for good, I don't need it anymore. I thought all the morning "Why am I smoking for? What does it give me except of smelly mouth and bad health? Is it good for anything at all?". Of course that I knew the answers to those questions as it was obvious. But, somehow, It got to me and I noticed that I don't have any reason to smoke for. I always said to myself that I smoke because I'm nervous, angry and other stuff, but I noticed that I smoke even when I'm happy and smiling. Of course, after you put a little thought on it, you see that you smoke when you get up in the morning, after every meal, when you drive, watching the game and every other opportunity that exists out there will be smokable for you.

Realizing that gave me another perspective and another point to think about. So, I made myself a promise that today I'll stop smoking and lets see if it helps. Lets see if it takes my smelly mouth away, lets see if it take my chest pain away, my anger, my cough and all the other enjoyable things that comes with smoking.

What I am doing to stop smoking is simply to write this blog. I will update this blog every day on what is going over me, how am I succeeding of not, the breaking moments, and I'm sure there will be a lot.

I smoked a pack of cigarettes every day UNTIL TODAY. Lets see how it goes.

Wish me luck, I will need it.
