Dear Future Self

un buon tiro

A website has sent me my annual message to my future self asking how well I am getting along with quitting smoking.

Alright thank you.

Disappointed to hear yesterday an old friend had gone back on them after 7 years off.

I will be going to a party tonight that will take me back to the days when I used to work with him. The venue in Bethnal Green was a solid smokers paradise - it will be interesting to see how many of us have kept up smoking and how many have quit.

The website is www.43things.com idf you fancy making any kind of resolutions.

As my quit-o-meter crashed out of existence some time ago I am really hazy about how many years I have been off now. Is it three in April - surely its longer? I did a quick money-saved count the other day and was disappointed. I always managed to keep my smoking budget arountd the ten pound a week mark. If I had been smoking normal fags I would have saved a lot. What I have saved by not smoking roll-ups doesn't even cover this years council tax. Still not to be sniffed at/puffed at.
