It had to happen --- I have decided to give up cigarettes. (I was going to say I was giving up fags but thought - probably too many Americans on this site and don't wanna cause any confusion). Its not cos of the health thing, its not cos of the money thing - its cos in England you are now a LEPER and a SCUMBAG if you dare to smoke anywhere other than in an old coal bunker in an unlit basement in your own house and THEN only if you have an extractor fan down there. What is the point of smoking if you can't do it when you are drinking in a bar pub or club??
SO ... today is my first day with a nicotine patch tingling on my arm. The patch gives you the equivalent of 60 Marlboro Lites over a 24 hour period which for me is about right. And so far, so good. Feel like I had my last smoke about 20 mins ago ... i.e. I vaguely want another one but haven't got to the crawling up the walls bit yet.
The only thing that is gonna let me down here is that I LOVE SMOKING!! So any and all messages of support and/or encouragement will be very welcome, thanx y'all xxx
