I thought since I just came back to this site yesterday and my knew quit date is 5/20 it might be good to explain what happened to my last quit. Very simply I put someone else ahead of my sobriety with both alcohol and smoking. My good friend since childhood became very seriously ill mentally and had to be hospitalized. They had also discovered a small noduly and several spots on my lung. All of this happened @ the same time as my Dad's first anniversary of his suicide. I did the worste thing I could do which was drink alcohol while attempting to quit smoking. I then decided to bring my friend to my house. She chain smoked My husband chain smoked and I quit praying and meditating. All my resolve was gone. However I'm the one with advanced copd and nodules/spots on my lung. I go to the Dr. tomorrow for the results of my pet/cat scan and I know that my health and my quit are my responsibility! I am just so glad that like AA I have a place to come back to for support, inspiration, and education.
Love to all of you,
Connie
