I was the victim of an emotional attack by a family member late this afternoon. I don't invite drama; in fact, I avoid it as much as possible. So this came out of the blue and I still don't understand it. In any event, I came *this close* to driving through tears to buy cigarettes. I'm very glad I didn't. But wow, it was a close call. I know for a fact that the words of the elders in this community saved me. I replayed in my mind all the ways that smoking would NOT help the situation, and would actually make it worse. Deep breath, deep breath, deep breath.
