Six months ago today...

On 10th March I smoked my last cigarette, so that means today is 6 calendar months to the day that I've been a non-smoker.

Overall, I've found it easier than I expected. I'd thought that the toughest part would be going out for a pint. The very thought of having a drink without a smoke filled me with horror, but I coped with that OK. Same after a large meal. I still get the occasional pang, but they have been getting fewer and further between as time has gone on. The strange thing is that I get them when I'd least expect to. I'd have thought the pangs would come to me in the pub (which they don't, and never have really). It hits me at really odd times like when I'm driving (which is strange as I didn't smoke in the car anyway) or in church.

Well, whatever. I think I've really cracked it this time. I don't miss it and really notice the smell of smoke on other people now. YEUCH!!!
