I think the lungs have definitely started to clear out now.

I've been doing a bit of reading online as I think the last few days I've been feeling a bit down and annoyed at the world. Also haven't been sleeping much. A quick google helped me out there though - did you know a smoker metabolizes caffiene at about double the speed of a non-smoker? So now I'm not smoking, all that coffee I used to drink is now just keeping me awake at night!

Food has started to taste a little better now, and my sense of smell has come back - I picked up a couple of things at work the other day I wouldn't have got a month or so ago.

I do feel a lot better physically for it although I think mentally I'm suffering a bit, but am trying to push through it.

Last night was a great test that I passed with flying colours. Every now and then I catch up with an older mate of mine, head to his place, listen to records, talk ****, drink coffee and smoke. I was sitting there in his lounge with him smoking six feet away from me, and while there were a couple of times I thought to myself that a smoke would be nice, I just let the thought pass naturally and didn't participate in smoking. It was good as now I've proven that I can condition myself to be around smokers without having the need to join in.
