liscab, I want to tell ya something that I found out today. My own instincts were to grab an analog today when I found out about my older daughter, but I didn't. I have 2 daughters and a son. My one daughter is my best friend in this world. At 34, she developed Cervical Cancer. She is in remission right now but her checkup is this Friday. Nervous, yes, but I will not touch an analog. My older daughter , who is 35, has Celiac disease. They think it is Refractory (the worst kind) or Intestinal Cancer. She is having some test with a camera that takes 9,000 pix and costs $2500 to determine the cause of her discomfort. I am on pins and needles.....yes, I want an analog and a ton of vodka but I am restraining myself. It does me no good to get sick when my children need me. I have had cancer twice myself and beaten it. I have been cancer free now for 40 years and I don't intend on getting it again. Cigarettes are the Devil as far as I am concerned. They make us aware of our weakness, liquor also. We escape from our problems.
I was on Chantix for awhile. It sucked. But the support lady kept calling me and telling me I would not die if I didn't have a cigarette. She was right. But I still craved them. Life is unfair sometimes and stress and everyday life fills us with anxiety and weakness. You have now beaten that weakness...........keep up the good work, my friend.....you will be reward with a long, happy life.
Would you believe my son is in the health care business........and my two daughters have problems? lol.......such is life, I guess.
I will get thru this all because of my faith in God........not by an analog....Pray and He will give you strength. My life has been filled with obstacles....Cancer, heart troubles, etc. but the strength is from the Lord. I was put up for dead, but I am still kicking....My children and grandsons need me........and my husband would be lost without me.......and the Lord knows this and takes care of me.
And now, really, I am going to bed..lol!
