the longest day



.

who knew there were so many minutes in an hour! damn!

i made it - twenty four hours as a non smoker.
hey people ... we have to think up a more positive title, non smoker holds negative connotations for me.
i want to be able to say ...
"i am a ... "

come to think of it maybe "i am healthy" will do.

the nicotine patches they prescribed are great, my nicotine addiction is being well fed whilst i learn to live my life without the paraphernalia of smoking.

Hang in there -- I got an ipod and did a lot of walking whenever I had a craving. I also used the patch.

It's been over five years and I don't even think about or want a cigarette.
