The last time I smoked a zoot I felt like death the following day, and ended up lying on the sofa for hours watching Netflix and feeling sorry for myself. This differs very little from my usual day tbf, but that's beside the point. I fear i'm too old to smoke weed anymore without it causing a horrible physical reaction. I've not smoked a cigarette in 4 months, so I'm practically vice free. Every time I feel proud of myself I want to reward myself with a packet of cigs.

There is a strange feeling when giving up something you enjoy for health reasons. It makes you question whether a shorter life is actually one of the advantages of your bad habit. But it's not fair on everyone else. I've given up* smoking out of love for Shanta (and to win a bet with Liam. Which reminds me of some admin I need to clear up, If I do die tonight I owe Liam a hundred quid. He can pick it up at my funeral). I do need to pick up a new stress release. Maybe juggling.

*its hard to imagine I won't restart smoking by the summer. Assuming I don't die beforehand.
