i'd taken it up again for various reasons...none of them as good as they seemed at the time. Not being around smokers is also making this easier. Also cigarettes had never been integrated into my work day...no smoke breaks to miss...
i decided to quit for me...for my health...i'm a cancer survivor (1988) whose cancer was tied to cigarettes...that's what my doctor told me then. Despite knowing this and being cancer free for 23 years, i foolishly decided to play Russian Roulette with my health...not one of my wiser decisions.
i also decided to quit for Clay...hy didn't need to be around my second hand smoke. Also hys own battle made me acutely aware of the bullet i dodged all those years ago when i was diagnosed in a very early stage. Hy didn't ask or tell me to quit but is happy with and supportive of my decision...i so love that Sexy Silver Butch!
To everyone in this thread i want to say congratulations on your progress and keep moving forward...i know it isn't easy...(trust me the folks in my life in 1988 are more than able to tell you how "delightful" i was to be around...lol)...remember YOU can win because YOU are bigger and stronger than this...but most of all YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!
