The best time to rant

That time for me, is now.

As some of you know, I have quit smoking this week. To be honest, it’s proving nowhere near as tricky as I predicted, but today – 3 days in – the irritability has begun to kick in and I find myself becoming hopelessly irritated at the slightest thing. For example today when leaving work. Normally, the queue of traffic to get out stretches back to the security hut, which results in a wait of approximately 1 minute to get out. Today, there were an extra 5 or 6 cars so it took an extra 30 seconds or so to get out. I was furious. I had no idea why I was furious, it’s not as if I had to be anywhere, but I was that angry I thought I was going to spontaneously combust.

I’m sure the real test of my will power will be this weekend when I will be going to a friend’s house warming party – and most of my friends smoke. And I will be drunk. But, I need to look at it in a positive light. If I can manage that day/night then I can manage anything.

I certainly hope this irritability is going to subside pretty soon though. It would be hugely ironic if I quit smoking to improve my health and ended up exploding of high blood pressure for trying to do the right thing

    It really isn’t that difficult I don’t think.

    Like I said though, Aaronios party is going to be a different can of worms altogether
