A year without smoking
I am one iron-willed badassed ex-smoker. And, since May 14 2005, I can walk upstairs without coughing. Yeah!
Buy "Calling For The Moon", my debut album of songs I wrote while living in Thailand, India, Turkey. (Only £2, on Bandcamp.)

Congratulations! It’s not easy, but so worth doing. I’m fearful of turning into one of those annoying ex-smokers in the pub, though.
Well done mate!
Congratulations, Bruce. That is huge! It’s been almost 17 months for me. After 20+ yrs, smoking up to 2 packs a day. I amazed even myself. I definitely count it as one of my greatest achievements.
Bloody hell! I ran a search on Amnuay Silpa school (for a friend) and your blog came up. I used to work at Bell St Johns! Same time you worked at Bell A-S. I married a Thai bloke from Ko Samet and was pregnant at the same time as Nongyao. We live in the UK now. Dunno if you’ll remember us. Well done on the giving up!
When I first gave up I loved the smell of cigarettes – don’t worry – it passes. Took a couple of years though…
Dunno if you remember me, either, Bruce, but we hung around at the Seattle Thunderlizard oh so many years ago (you, me, Bryn, Chris Hindley, Dani, Jen, Mike).
Interesting you quit smoking, too; I’ve been off ’em for now a month and a half.
Here’s to your ‘elf and mine, Bruce. We’ll be much better off for it in the long run.
Shoot me an email if you can; lots of catching up to do.
Congrats on a year of better health. They banned smoking in bars in Minneapolis a year ago, so now I smell like chicken wings when I come home to my wife. I guess that’s an improvement.
Nice one. About the best thing you can do for your ‘elf.
How is your ‘elf these days?
