I have been smoke free for almost 24 hours. I have a long way to go, but I've taken the first step. I sit here with 2 packs of gum, 3 rubber bands on my wrist and a glass pebble that I can play with when I'm fidgety, which happens a lot. I'm going to do this. But I also have trouble with and don't know that I can quit 2 major habits at once. I realize that I am a living being.
