Yes, it's been a full 5 years since I last had so much as a puff of a cigarette. Imagine how much more healthy my lungs are now compared to if I had continued to smoke all this time, and imagine how much money saved. Very glad to be rid of that habit. While we're on the subject of vices, I have not been trashed since just before I left NZ in 2001 either! Of course we'll have a glass of wine with dinner every now and then, and maybe a cocktail or two on occasion, but other than that we rarely drink alcohol, and never to excess. Most of my old mates probably wouldn't believe it, but there ya go.
