and feeling good, things seem to have settled down but know need to keep my guard up and continue to take one day at a time....

What I have noticed this week is my newfound sense of smell and taste, can smell 'fresh' air again, haven't smelled the summer air in years, well my early teens :O But the taste of food is just amazing now, my wife is a chef and does alot of experimenting with recipes with herbs and spices, can taste them now and its so good :P

Hope you are all keeping well?

Congrats Exfirecracker on 2 weeks quit and great to see you are plodding along nicely. That curry looks delicious, I too am a chef (just recently qualified, long story short, went back to college to follow my dreams and done a professional cookery course). My taste buds are just mental now - the longer your quit the stronger they become!!
