Firstly; I'm not sure if this is the correct area to post this in, if it's not, Apologies.
secondly; some background on me.
My names James Griffin, I'm 18 and was born in Nottingham, England.
I've been diving since I was 8 and smoking since I was 14.
As soon as I turned 18 I jumped at the chance to become a Divemaster. After a season working as a Divemaster, I became an Instructor.
I'm currently living and working full time as an Instructor in Cyprus.
When I was younger, I hated smoking, loathed it. As I grew up a few "friends" peer pressured me into trying it, I did, and it just kinda stuck.
As of today (GMT +2.00)
11th May 2011 - 22.43
I am quiting smoking.
This is something I've been thinking of for a while, I realise it will be hard, I realise there will be times that I am tempted, but this is something I would like to do now, rather than 10 years down the line when it's a lot harder.
This decision is mainly to benefit my diving, live longer, dive longer. get fitter, use less air, etc etc. The benefits are endless, it makes me wonder why I even started.
I am completely committed to doing this, and I would like to use this thread to update you all on how its going and hopefully any other smokers can maybe try and quit too! who knows.
All support will be appreciated!
Any questions, just ask
James
