Smoke free 2009

I don’t really smoke. I’ll have the odd cigarette when others are smoking. Or if I’m tearing it up (as in the last week), I’ll smoke a ton. But I don’t smoke in the morning, I rarely actually buy cigarettes, and I very rarely find myself longing for a cigarette.

Thus, actually stopping completely has been very difficult. I don’t have a smoking “problem”, so each cigarette doesn’t seem like a big deal. Well, the time has come, I have decided to make a serious go of giving up cigarettes altogether. I’m shooting for a smoke free 2009.

I stopped drinking in a day, cold turkey. There’s much less social pressure to smoke, so here’s hoping I can kick this annoying habit for good.

Wish me luck.

It’s been a blast. Wow, what a couple of weeks. My first experience in police handcuffs, a few rounds of chemical mischief, a whole load of buses, motorbikes and boats. I’ll post something in more depth about the handcuffing, it was a pretty far out night, not one I’ll forget in a hurry.

Otherwise, I’m on Caye Caulker, a Belizean island, for New Year. This is my first time in the Caribbean, it’s damned close to Paradise by my reckoning. Here’s a couple of photo as I’m short on internet time.

Here’s the boat we hired from San Pedro to Caye Caulker:

Here’s me on the front of the boat smoking a cigarette:
