Go Panthers! I have to feel a little sorry for Packers though. They were shell shocked!

I don't think our rain is ever going to go away. That use to be cause for major depression but I think I'm finally stabilized (mood). I've had so many people tell me if I would quit drinking using my Higher Power and a 12 step program, and quit putting the poison from cigarettes in my lungs I would feel so much better and have a lot more energy. The evilness of tobacco is so insidious though, it takes years before we literally feel like we are dying and then the addiction is so bad, (the lies) we tell ourselves "well what's the use now, it's too late". Well I'm here to say I might have severe copd but your lies aren't taking me yet (nicotine not EXer's).

I have to admit I have literally fallen in love with all of you. You make me laugh and cry. I think of you throughout the day. It goes something like Well what would Dale say about this and how is Ellen feeling, What education would Thomas provide. I think about the newcomers and hoping their cravings aren't getting to them. I thank God that Candy isn't having cravings. I appreciate all the humor that Puff and others bring to us on a daily basis and all the support from Terrie, Jackie and Marilyn. And so much more. Okay you guys, enough of this! I am not a sappy person so I'm gonna stop now. (except I almost forgot Mike's message first thing every morning and everyone that works so hard on the freedom train. I could go on and on but you all know what everyone gives.

I'm 59 with severe COPD. I've decided I really want to live and I won't if I smoke. I have 4 grown boys, a grandson and granddaughter due on 9/10. Lots of reasons to live.
