Today I received a link to this article from an unlikely source, a recovering addict who is currently a smoker and who has struggled with anxiety and depression for years.  I am hoping that it will give some people encouragement:

I have been out of town and this is my first day back, it will take me a few days to recover from traveling but it was a good trip and I got to spend a little time with DJ who is just an amazing person, how wonderful to have an EX who is seriously a part of my EXtended family.

Hope everyone is doing well, love to all.
