i am about 40 hours in, with no cigarettes. at this stage they say to expect things like moodiness, irritability, depression or anxiety, changes to appetite, fatigue and changes to sleep patterns. what a drug.
the first day, yesterday, we went for a really big walk around the brunswick and fitzroy north neighbourhood. a wonderful thing to do on a still, still day. i hereby resolve to try and take a walk every day. we reached merri creek; such a precious waterway to have running through the inner northern suburbs. with the birds all atwitter and the bright green, orange and red sparks of parrots in the grey-green eucalpyt leaves.

Thank heaven, I have given up smoking again!... God! I feel fit. Homicidal, but fit. A different man. Irritable, moody, depressed, rude, nervy, perhaps; but the lungs are fine.
