    I almost smoked over the weekend, found out we lost my grandmother on Saturday morning , still haven’t picked one back up. Starting a new job this weekend too, after the strike on the first, Almost gave myself the excuse that I’m stressing so might as well.

    I can put it this way, my grandmother lived a beautiful long life, created wonderful paintings and ceramic vases, career artist, never smoked once in her life and lived to be 95. My grandfather smoked like a chimney, passed about 15 years ago, I think he was about 80. Makes a youngin’ think

      Please take my sincerest condolences over the loss of your grandmother. I wish health to you, your family, your relatives and your grandmother’s friends and acquaintances.

      I especially wish you luck and the strength both mental and physical needed to overcome smoking.

        Thanks! I’m extremely lucky my parents are both in great health, so I’m focusing on being happy w them. My dad has a strong spirit. He gave up smokes in the 80s. For anyone it may help reading, quitting feels awesome after a while. It’s so worth it in the long run. Just think of how much longer we could have had some of our favorites: Lenin, David Lynch, the list goes on
