.... but who'll start the thread? I am a smoker myself, and I hate it - but it is soooo difficult to quit. I tend to worry a lot about things, and smoking seems to help when you are nervous? What does one do to calm down when you can't get a cigarette anymore...???!!

I've actually enlisted on a Public Health Service "Quit Smoking" course, starting next monday, August 15th - and I'm already biting my nails about it! I don't feel all that motivated, to be honest. And that's really strange - because I most certainly should be!! Last winter I had bronchitis twice, and I never used to develop a cough in addition to catching a cold. I also had some asthma-like symptoms between the colds. So I feel that I simply HAVE to quit.

Anyway, I for one am sure that I could do with a little support from a "Quit Smoking - Now!" - thread....

Oh, and besides, Bella hates my smoking too!! I'm convinced that's why she prefers to sleep in my bedroom (smoke-free!) most of the time...

Lots of love
Sus and Bella
