We can't let stress of any kind get in the way of our quits, no excuse of any kind will justify screwing up our hard work whether you have 3 wks, 3 months or 3 yrs why would we want to throw it away because we're stressed, no way no how, no excuse is good enough to start smoking again and end up most likely dying alot sooner from a smoking related illness, probably cancer . I believe I will handle the stress smoke free and alcohol free since I am also a recovering alcoholic February 14 th will be 4 yrs sober and I am on 151 smoke free days. I definitely won't smoke or drink over one sister starting chemo tommorrow morning in Halifax which is 6 hrs away so I can't be there right now and besides that I really don't feel all that great myself. My other sister lives only a half hour away seen a back specialist today, she's been waiting 10 months to get in to see this Dr she had neck surgery back in 96 my husband and I nursed her back to health and made sure she did her exercises anyway she needs more surgery on her neck plus major back surgery set for February. She will continue to get even worse without surgery. My husband will be home tomorrow night for the weekend. We have a funeral Saturday for our dear friend that died of cancer Tuesday. See we all have stress and crap in our lives but we must protect our quits it's vital to our health and our life . I can't express how stressed I am right now but once I shut down my tablet I will pour myself a large glass of cold water and watch a little tv hopefully a comedy because a good laugh is good for us,anyway I really needed to get this off my chest thank you.
