1 year of non-smoking

365 days ago I decided not to buy that next pack of cigarettes and today I still have not had a single cigarette. This is a big barrier for me to have broken, and some months ago I thought I might have a smoke on the 1-year date. I have chosen not too… mainly because I do not want 365 to be the end of the streak.

I may be picking up a smoking pipe some time this year, though I am in not rush. I rarely feel the urge for a cigarette, but I do still feel the urge to relax with some form of burning tobacco. Cigarettes are taboo and Cigars just seem so “it’s a boy!”, and I am looking more for the casual toke once in a while and a pipe fits that role. We will see if I get around to the tobacco store any time in the next 12 months :-)
