Thank you John for the words of encouragement! I keep reading, and re-reading your letter. It helps a lot. Yesterday I met my mom at one of our favorite little dress shops, as the shop was having a big sale. Even though my mom and I live about 2 miles apart, we each drove ourselves. Why? Because she smokes. I arrived first and when my mom got there, I gave her a hug. Man, did she smell of smoke! It was really strong. My first thought was "there was no way I was hiding this smell from my son all those years. He knew I was smoking." Yuck. As we walked around the store, however, I started getting a bit agitated. The trigger was get the shopping done so you can go outside and have a cigarette. Hmm...All of the sudden I looked up and saw a man, sitting in the store, waiting for his wife to shop. He was using an oxygen tank. I looked at him for a couple of seconds, and turned to my mom, and said" See...THAT is why I quit. I dont want to wind up like him." What a wake up call.
Cant think about next week, but NO NICOTINE TODAY.
