Perhaps if I were more shy about public speaking, and had therefore been more anxious about having to officiate at the Northern Health staff Christmas party on Friday night, I would have been more concerned about getting through it sans-nicotine.
As it turns out, I managed to get all dressed up and all the way to the hotel, before realizing that I had not a single nicotine replacement therapy product on my person! Not only that, but the fact that the hotel's gift/convenience store was conveniently located right outside the ballroom doors didn't escape my attention. Anyone else see a potential problem here?
So - in keeping with my "if enough people are watching" method of quitting - I took to the stage, introduced myself as an ex-smoker, and proceeded to offer a door prize to the first person who could furnish me with a piece of Nicorette.
Thanks to "James" (and the cheers of a very supportive audience), I'll hit the one-month mark on Friday!
