Hello friends. Today is my birthday and there is nothing special celebration in my home. Anyway in the evening i have arranged a party for my friends. But i feel glad to inform you that i have taken some decisions today. I have been taking alchohol regularly for more than five years and smoking cigarettes too. So i have a great decision that i shall give up all these. I mean never take it as a regular habit. Occasionaly its ok but not regularly. Hi friends, what do u think?

These are certainly good goals, and your birthday is a good time to do this for yourself. However, it is going to take a lot of willpower to give up smoking and drinking, especially at the same time, but you can do it if you put your mind to it. I hope you are successful in your goals...

gradually reducing the amount you drink and smoke is probably the only way you are going to be able to do it...I tried the cold-turkey thing, and it almost caused a divorce LOL My wife was offering to buy me a drink and a pack of smokes after a couple of days LOL

We had a nice morning at home and then drove to my Dad's for dinner. We spent the night there, had breakfast and then drove to Virginia City on the way home. It was a nice couple of days.

Hi shibam, belated birthday greetings. :) Yes, it is a good idea to leave those things. One thing I noticed when it came to leaving bad habits. If I didn't replace it with a good habit, invariably it returned, and it returned with a greater force. So you need to find something to do such as playing games when you cant possibly sit in one corner and drink, or somoke. Think about it. :)

First off, happy birthday! And congratulations on your decision to quit, or take it easy, on some of your old vices. Getting healthy is always a wise decision. I've also decided to be a little bit healthy starting next year as part of my new year's resolution. Like you, I wouldn't go all out, but take it a step at a time.

Hi, shibham. Happy Birthday to you!! I am glad that you are making the decision to give up smoking and drinking. It is never good to drink and to smoke. Both are bad for your health. You are very smart to take this step. I hope that you have fun at your party and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Bravo!! that is the best gift you can give to yourself. Changing some of your bad habits to a more productive one in a healthy manner is a good sign that you are maturing enough to know all the possible consequences that may cause you. You may say that there is nothing special about your celebration. But, your change in lifestyle is already special. Im sure your peers will idolize your courage and will to be a good example for them. Because of your good intentions, I do wish you all the best to come in GOd's graces and all the great things to come along your way~~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY!~~~~ and MERRY Christmas ho ho ho~`
