Yep. We understand.
I promise it gets better. MUCH better. Sometimes it felt like someone was
sandpapering my skin I felt so irritated and just *raw*. That feeling goes
away as we learn to deal with new situations without smoking.
I'm glad you didn't have money for one sickarette. Go ROB!! Keep it up!
Your FREEDOM is worth it!
With hope and heart,
Kathleen
