Good luck man, sounds like a difficult way to jump into the new year, but props to you for it. Gotta look after your health. :thumbup: (Also happy belated birthday!)
My new year's resolution isn't really a new year's resolution I guess, but I do intend to actually get a website/portfolio up and running this year. I've spent a long time "experimenting" and learning things here and there, it's time I sat down and had stuff to show for it. ...will have to learn some basic web design skills...
Bah.. but this make the process dull. Pasta needs love, like everything else.
Start running. Or at least walking. Aerobic exercises will help with your breath and your compromise with the goal. they reduce anxiety too. I know some people that replaced successfuly alcohol and smoking with sports.
Less gaming/internet/wasting time.
More Art
Goals:
Release indie game,
Write, illustrate and (hopefully) publish an illustrated children's book,
Run half marathon (great north run),
get out of "dead end" games job, make a living doing my own stuff.
Less gaming/reddit/imgur
More art posted on polycount
Learn more shader/tech stuff
Goals:
Finish random tech tools/ideas to put on website
Make a website
Lose weight
Good on you. My mum's decided to quit too, she's about two weeks in now. Still having a hankering for the deathsticks, and not feeling too awesome, but she's (and we are) already noticing that she's coughing less, and she's no longer out of breath after walking to the top floor.
So yeah, it sucks for a bit, but it'll do you good in the long run. Keep at it!
Yeah... I've never gotten to that point, which is sort of the point of quitting before it affects me that much. I've attempted to quit in the past. I've always used quit-smoking aids. This time around, straight up cold turkey. That being said, I still hate everything, and everyone can die a horribly firey death.
