dear Mair,
how long/how much did you smoke?
i began at 15 and by 20 i'd become a pack-a-day smoker (Camels, nonetheless)...i'm really grateful for nicoderm (the patch) and nicorette (the gum) because i felt like a devoted *smoker.* i loved smoking more than almost anything else. today i smacked on another patch and picked up 2 packs herbal (tobacco-free) cigs. been smoking 8 years so i can't imagine how a 20-yr smoker would deal, but after a year or so did you feel that smokes had become yr best friend?
i see women customers where i work, with cigarette faces, and i feel too vain to let that happen...
i still drink though. right now i'm having a water + vodka! hydration to stave off the dehydration. which do you think is worse, drinking or smoking?
congrats on not smoking. how long has it been? do you stilll feel the urge, or does the smell kind of make you feel a bit sick? right now (about 2 weeks no-smoking) the smell is weird, but i feel envious when i see someone lighting up or tossing a butt out of their car.
