It's tough!

little bear, to lose the habit is really tough--but worth it.

I smoked my last cigarette over 28 weeks ago. Nicoderm patches helped me.

I just could not put tobacco into my mouth anymore. I could not face another Canadian winter of smoking outdoors. I could not stand the nauseating stink of it. I hated being tied to the habit, ruled ritualistically by it. I hated the stigma of being a smoker. I hated feeling like my gut was an ashtray. It drained me. I also have asthma.

Warning: it's really hard. Take all the help you can get.

I don't take it for granted. Sometimes I get the urge to smoke, but truly I recognize that it's more the quick buzz I'm craving, that rush or high. Hmmm...I guess I substitute thoughts of sex, now.

You'll feel sick for a few weeks as the toxins release themselves.

Feel free to email me for encouragement & support (katenowak@msn.com).

It's the best decision I've made in years & I don't regret a moment of "sobriety."

Kate.
