And need all the advice I can get!
I started smoking at 17, just after I left school. Smoking was fashionable in 1964 and we all puffed away in cinemas and restaurants and at work.
When I think about it now I wonder how people put up with all that smoke! This dreadful habit was acceptable then because it was an age of freedom, of pot, of good music,
of outrageous habits. The oldies will remember.
I'm still smoking 40 years later and I'm ashamed. I put it down to stress (plenty of that in a big school if you're the head honcho), coffee (how would a fresh cup of espresso taste
without a cigarette?), and beer. Imagine a few Miller Lites (sorry Yanks but we South Africans own Miller---and I am nothing but patriotic!), without a cig.?
Seriously, I've tried most cures half-heartedly (like sprays and patches and gum), and now I'm thinking of acupuncture. If you have any advice I'm willing to listen. It will not be
half -hearted this time: My breathing is suffering and I do want to live a little longer.
It is my life's resolution to give up the dreaded weed before I turn 60 soon. Any recipes and advice would help although I know it is mainly up to me!
Yours in desperation.
