missing time in our meetings of the

tobacco weak I smoked like an Arizona

194
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:18,240
smelter but in the middle of May 1989

195
00:12:24,170 --> 00:12:21,000
and I stood in my office and realized

196
00:12:26,990 --> 00:12:24,180
that I had gone 24 hours without smoking

197
00:12:32,329 --> 00:12:29,269

00:13:00,590 --> 00:12:55,399
