Wow! Now there’s a piece of history from my childhood! I remember as a kid picnicking across the way from the Training Towers.
60 Hours Smoke Free – and counting.
Jan 28th
I am quickly approaching 60 hours without a cigarette. As time passes, it does seem to be easier. I keep hearing different times, from 3 days to 2 weeks on how long it takes for the nicotine addiction to leave the system. I'm hoping that it's only 3 days, and that the psychological addiction is what takes 2 weeks to break.
This is quite a life change for me. I was the guy that thought that I would be going to the grave with a cigarette in my mouth. Lately, with the number of deaths or close calls that I have seen of men my age due to medical conditions that are a direct result of smoking, it was time to make a change. I knew it was going to be difficult, but the last thing is die at a young age and leave behind my wife and kids. Up to this point in time, I'm fairly healthy and I want to keep it that way!
So the fight goes on. I'll be posting updates and milestones (which I think are important to me) as they happen. Updates can be found on my website (http://thefoxjournals.com) or Twitter (http://twitter.com/JWFoxJr) via Posterous (http://jwfoxjr.posterous.com).

“I think this is the dumbest idea I’ve ever had!”, says my daughter as she realizes it wasn’t as easy to get out as it was to get in.
