never drink again

This. Also, stop smoking cigarettes (I'll still have the occasional, luxurious pipe though). I want to finish doing my course instead of bumming around playing video games all the time. Move overseas by August. And really, I want to get healthier generally.

That is about it.

I'm going to laugh at people that come up with resolutions they can't follow through on.

Do what I did:
1: start working out regularly (45-60 minutes per day is a good start, with something cardio...doesn't have to be running).
2: Start reading Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking
3: Stop smoking

You'll realize somewhere in there your exercise output is inversely proportionate to your smoking (duh) but you really feel the effects quickly.  It is a nice motivator.  That and not smelling like completely and total shit all the fucking time. I smoked about a pack and a half a day in the most smoker-friendly city, too.  So, good luck!

Not smoking is an awesome goal.  I wish there was some way to validate this, as we could replace cool photo contests with stop smoking contests.   :righton:

GP, it surprises me that you smoked, with the whole vegetarian thing.  I guess they aren't related really...

I don't know if I can say I started smoking b/c of stress (I started in college) but by the time I wanted to quit, I was in pretty high stress jobs.  That, and it's so damn easy to do here.  It's a rough place to quit.  I was definitely not the poster boy of good health from ages 20 to 27.

Thanks for the advice, GP! I shall certainly do my best.

I've been an on and off smoker since I was probably 15 or 16. I've had breaks lasting up to 2 years, but then at the pub or some other social event someone will offer me and well, it goes from there. No more however! I am quite partial to the old pipe as well though, if I can get off the cigs, I think I will be able to enjoy a nice pipe of high quality English tobacco on a Saturday morning without any issues. But still, there isn't really much of a point. May as well just stop entirely.

I was a vego for a few years as well, heh. I ended up getting rather ill owing to ignoring my iron intake. But it is something I intend to pickup again, being more careful.

I'll try to resist buying new videogames as long as I feel I haven't finished my old ones. Which of course is not possible because my backlog could easily fill the next ten years but I'll take the first step into this direction.
