It’s amazing how much different I feel after just a few days without nicotine.  I’m more active, my sense of taste is astoundingly improved and I feel a general glow of good health.  Aside from all the phlegm of course.  I can see why non-smokers become so militant, not that that’s what I’ll be doing.

Tests I’ve passed so far:

1. Being offered a cigarette at work.
2. Sitting through an Arsenal - Man U game in a smoky pub.
3. Having enough money in my pocket for cigarettes and not buying any.

So, not too shabby so far.  Anyway, I’ve been re-reading a lot of my Douglas Coupland books at the moment until I can summon the funds for his latest.  I forgot how good Microserfs is.
