I've been lurking her for quite some time.  I figured I aught to make my inaugural post and kick things off.  I smoked from eighteen to twenty three.  Quit cold turkey that time...  I started smoking again after three years and some change.  I kept that up for over a year until a few months ago.  I recently lost my wonderful next door neighbor to breast cancer.  She had been battling it for years.  Initially I worked with her.  She was a wonderful woman who took me under her wing and looked out for me when it seemed like no one else would.  My girlfriend and I moved into the apartment next door to her four years ago, and since that time she became like a mother to us.  The first day we went to visit her in the hospital was the last day that either of us smoked a cigarette.  My girlfriend quit cold turkey, and I have been vaping ever since.  Sitting with her in the hospice was one of the hardest things either of us have ever done.  Words can not describe. 
Anyhow, I am glad to be here. As hard as things are, I am glad that something finally brought me to my senses.
