Thank you for sharing Abby....I'm sure it will help lots of folks ....The first thing we did ,when we faced stress was reach for our crutch ... We believed it helped us cope better ....it was in truth the exact opposite..... You have come along way and got over that big hurdle ... My thoughts to you and your your friend ......

Just to remind folks ....It's not just your lungs and heart that smoking effects ....my lungs were fine...I didn't have a cough ...smoking can effect any part of the body ....and it not always where you expect .... My friend had Pancreatic Cancer.....it was far to late by the time symptoms showed....when she was given her diagnosis ,she carried on smoking ...she believed all the lies that surround this killer addiction...very sad ... In answer to your question JB.....Yes ....I was very scared.... When I joined these great people ,I didn't know whether it was too late.... I owe this board alot ....

Smoking takes all the fear of dying away... Last year I watched my best friend take her last breath hours after her last cigarette..... Thankfully I had the strength to quit ,when I got my health scare...me and my feet have had over 5 years more together..and God willing many more...

Oh yaaaa.....I'm gonna practice our love song !!!!

Aww O....this is sad reading ...I'm sorry for your losses..... Stay strong....and sending you a cyber hug x

Snap !!!... How I wish I,d thought of that ...LOL....

I started smoking at 11...rebelled... Started hanging out with older kids ..and tried to keep up ... From a early age I was sent to Ballet school....so most of my days were spent there...I was on blocks at the age of ten... My life was a strict schedule... Hence the rebellion... My mother was obsessed ... That rebellion cost me 52 years of my life ... I would have loved to play in the mud and catch frogs ...

Lol....doors skirting boards ect ...I'm a dab hand with gloss...x

Wow !!!....I was holding my breath reading this ....scarey !.....I'm glad I carnt paint lol.....well I do paint woodwork ...
