Steve and everybody--
I agree with all who say Steve is right on. Sad things, joyful things, anger-producing things--I don't numb them with cigarettes any more. That is a wonderful thing in and of itself and something for which I am grateful--however, for me at least, it is NOT easy. Only 33 days into the quit and the sleeping/eating patterns are changed horribly (five nights of insomnia running). Lots more anger than I'm used to, and lots more tears. Yet, it's not even that it WILL be worth it; it's already worth it. The scary thing is DISCOVERING what all I've been hiding from without having a clue I was hiding from it. It's scary but it's also exhilerating.
See you tomorrow, guys.
