It has been nine days since I posted anything, geez the days go quick now!  Where does the time go? 

Anyway, my last post was about insomnia, and my recent suffering thereof.  Well it has been 9 days since I began a nightly ritual of going for a walk/jog around the beach near my place, and I must say wow to exercise being a great sleeping pill!  It's great not using sleeping pills as I don't wake up with the usual lethargy that sleepers give me.  In fact, when I used to take Zolpidem (Ambien/Stilnox CR) I used to sleepwalk and do ALL kinds of crazy things.  I will describe them in a separate post as it's quite alarming, but funny in a 'it happened to someone else' way!

So I walk from 45 minutes to an hour, depending on whether or not I decide to jog more than walk.  I'm still not fit enough to jog the whole way as my lungs really hurt trying to breathe whilst jogging.  Damn smoking, I'm glad I've quit that habit, although admittedly I still crave a cigarette several times a day.  All that requires is a deep breath and an affirmation of strength.  I ask myself why would I want to become enslaved by cigarettes again?  Why would I want to smell like smoke again, or continue smoking knowing it's massively increasing my chance of getting cancer or suffering a stroke or heart attack.  I say no thanks!
