About 3 hours after I was dancing on the coffee table at my little win this week, I was brought smashing back down to earth.
Mum called to let me know my step father has lung cancer and the outlook is not very good at all. He has been coughing for a few weeks and all of a sudden it's nearly too late. He has never smoked in his life.
Which therefore makes me 15 shades of fuckwit because I DO smoke. Most of the time I love it. Some of the time I hate it. I have been intending to give up for the past two years but there is always some drama that 'prevents' me, or some event or some other issue that requires me to inhale nicotine whilst pondering.
So no more as of today.
Yeah, I'll be shitty and stressed but how much more than what I have been lately? And who cares anyway - I'll get over it. I've given up once and I can do it again but this time it's forever.
Goodbye stinky
Goodbye lethargy
Goodbye dull skin
Goodbye to the illusion I need cigarettes
Hello FREEDOM.

I don’t give a rip about Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby is all over the news. You can read the transcripts of his court
testimony from 2005. You can read that his wife believes the victims
willingly ...

Oh no :( {hugs} I hope things turn around.
Goodluck with the quitting, and like the new,more reasonable quit ad says, it might take you a couple go's but you CAN do it. Just keep trying.
And don't blame yourself :( Apparently the pollution in the air of built up areas can be worse than being around a smoker
more {hugs}

Oh Luce, I am so sorry about your step-dad. That is a shit.
And from a chick who was a hard core smoker for 27 years, to you, I KNOW YOU CAN GIVE IT AWAY.
If you want a copy of the Allan Carr book, lemme know? Can post it to you in a heartbeat. Worked for me.
I quit cold turkey when my dad had a heart attack in 2001. We pinky swore that we were never going to smoke again and it was hard but in a way it made me feel free again.
Give it time, it will get better and you will be thankful that you did it.
Sorry to hear about your step-dad Loo.
Cancer is a shit, my dear Mum had secondary lung cancer and it was terrible to be so helpless to help her.
:(
And good luck with the quitting. I know you can do it, you have the right motivation to do it!

God I'm so sorry about your step-dad's news. Good luck with quitting, it seems unimaginably hard.
What awful news, you and your family must be gutted. Sending you light.
