No smoking (update)
Just in case you thought both Siân and I had forgotten about this, we have stopped smoking now and are beginning the long detox process. It is not easy! I am currently quite ill as a direct result of quitting, but I can certainly see light at the end of the tunnel and I certainly haven’t had the urge to smoke in over a week. I choose the cold turkey approach as my Nicotine addiction isn’t as strong and I was classed as a light/occasional smoker.
Siân is having a harder time as she has smoked regularly since she was twelve, that’s eleven years of smoking. Initially she was approaching this in a cold turkey manner but her Nicotine starvation proved too painful and she has now resorted to patches. Since using the patches her urges to smoke have completely vanished and in a week the courses will be reduced to nothing.
On the plus side, my sense of taste and smell have improved ten fold in a week. I generally feel more awake and alive than before and I now wonder why I didn’t do this sooner.
