I love smoking. Despite all the negatives, I find nothing better than kicking back lighting up and indulging in my bad habit. But with the nagging fro...m my husband and the future with my son, I decided maybe I should at least try to quit. Besides smoking out the back in the cold was starting to ruin the pleasure smoking gave me. A friend in work put me in touch with a hypnotherapist. She swore blind that all his patients had quit smoking after completing the programme. Even she managed to quit. "Let's get off here." Quickly I zip myself back into my jeans and soon we're exiting the bus. We start to run into the park, kind of giddy, like happy c***dren. It's dusk and the park is pretty empty.

Leron said, OK, just give me a minute. We quickly dressed and left out of different exits of the locker room. It was the best one-on-one ever. No winner, no loser, just both opponents satisfied.I was at my boyfriend's house and we were talking about love. He said he loved me and that he thought the time. ‘Are you OK? Haven’t heard from you in a while.’ I wasn’t ready to answer that question either.

All I wanted to do at the end of the day was to find my inner peace on the couch with a glass of mead and a good movie. As was drifting in and out of scenes of ‘Out of Africa’ a few nights after I got back from Chicago, I swore I.
