Jen...youre so cute!!!! I have been trying to quit smoking. I go a good six months then one crisis comes and Im back to it. Thank goodness I never got into anything stronger like drugs or alcohol. Funny though..I was just talking to someone who got off a major drug addiction and he said it was easier to get off the drugs than getting off the cigarettes. Congrats to you for kicking it!!!!!! Youre my idol!!! As for the gambling...its no different than the shopping sprees I used to go on. Its an adreniline rush and it feels good. I take something for anxiety anytime I feel the urge and it has really helped.
