2014: New Year's Resolutions
 

What are your guys' New Year's resolutions for 2014?

I'm gonna look for work.

Back in the 1980's (I forget which year exactly now) my New Years Resolution was not to make any more New Year Resolutions. I havent broken it yet.

Stopped smoking... I actually stopped Dec 6... not one since...

Professional - speak at 3 conferences (did one last year), and launch forumintent.com by the summer, with a smaller related product launch in the spring

Personal - get back to running 3x a week. *looks outside*

Update..... 3 months still no smoking.:D

I am around a couple heavy smokers daily.... I cant believe I used to smell that bad when I came inside after smoking, plus the way the clothes smell.
I am so glad we never smoked inside.

Congratulations on that! I had a 2-3 pack a day habit. Gave cigarettes up in 2008 and haven't looked back.
It's hard. I think about smoking everyday actually, but have not given into the crave. Anyway - congrats!

As for me = I quit making new years resolutions years ago. They're like promises to me. I only make promises that I intend on keeping LOL

J.

2-3 packs a day... wow. Glad to hear you stopped, that is awesome.
I didn't really have a new years resolution, I had pneumonia in one lung, the bottoms of both lungs were collapsed...Inhaling air made me cough. Enough was enough.

I wish I could muster up the gumption to quit, but I just am not that into doing so yet, so any attempt will of course result in failure.

If that's not incentive enough to give the cigs up - I don't know what is!
I hope you've gotten over the sickness.

You're absolutely correct. You have to want and/or be incentivized to quit or the attempt will be failure.

I had a huge incentive though. At the beginning of 2008 - I was 438 pounds. A huge monstrosity of a person -- Well - not monstrosity - but you get the point LOL ... I was steady gaining and wanted to do something about it. So I scheduled an appointment with a bariatric surgeon. Long story short - He told me I was a perfect candidate for weightloss surgery, BUT there was no way he'd operate on me as a smoker. The consultation date was April 20, 2008. The day of my last smoked cigarette.

6 years later - I'm down over 200 pounds and maintaining, feeling healthier than I ever have.

Excellent, sounds like you made quite a few changes that day, glad to hear. :)
