Chesty McBoob's blog post - Day of rest

I still have no voice so decided to visit the doc and take a day off work. Have layngitis (what a surprise as I have no voice!) and a nasty sinus infection but am feeling a bit better. Got drugs and a horrible nasal spray to try and sort it out.

Though I haven't smoked for around a week (just due to my lurgy) I am now officially giving up. I have a number of reasons - my constant state of having a cold and my recent abnormal smear issues just being a couple of things which have made me decide to do it. My health is more important and I am not as young as I was lol.

It is going to be horrible and am sure I am going to be horrible too. Poor Mr McB! I only smoke a few ciggies a day and they are usually at work, when stressed, but it's going to be hard to say goodbye to my old friend nicotene. It's always been there for me in hard times and good times (mostly with a nice alcoholic beverage).

I face one of the busiest and most stressful periods of my working year over the next 8 weeks and it's going to be a challenge. Any advice from those who have successfully kicked the weed is gratefully received!
