Introduction/Day 22

I'm 36 years old, have been drinking since I was 15 and smoking since I was 13.

After many attempts at giving up smoking, I've come to the realisation that for me to give up smoking, I also need to give up drinking for a time.  With that in mind, on 15 February 2011, I decided (after a couple of prior, and of dubious success, attempts) to give up drinking for a year in an attempt to give up smoking.

This is the testament to my journey through sobriety and life as a non-smoker...........
