Merry Christmas

Couple days late - but the sentiment is the same - I wish you all a wonderful and merry Christmas - a successful new year -

On Dec 23rd, in the morning,  I was awakened by a call from my sister in law, that my brother was in the hosp, having been admitted the night before.  He was in for a suspected heart attack.  Gratefully - it was NOT a heart attack.  They are going to check a number of things - hopefully they get to the bottom of it.  He was here on Christmas day and it meant so much to have him here - safe and sound.

This brother has the worst time quitting smoking! He offered to take out the garbage for me while he was here Christmas day - said he needed to go out to the car to get his lozenges.  When he came back in, he did NOT smell like a lozenge.  My heart just breaks- I remember how tough it is to quit!  I remember how much you THINK you'll miss smoking.  I remember how LOST you feel when you ponder giving up your long time companion.

Oh my goodness  - I am SO ELATED that I quit smoking almost 20 months ago.  I am SO CONFIDENT that anyone reading this that  is contemplating quitting can do this thing!  YOU JUST HAVE TO STOP SMOKING.  That is the simple trick to quitting.............QUIT. 

It's not easy - it's not magic.  But it's POSSIBLE.  If this girl can quit smoking - ANYONE can!

Remember - you will never regret the one you don't light! You'll kick yourself for every one you DO light -

God bless you as you start and continue this journey as a non smoker!

*hugs*

I know that it is too late for  this but Marry Christmas and Happy New year to you too Alice. I will pray for you brother tonight. I'm glad that he was able to be with you for the holidays. I hope that he will quit smoking as well. All you can do is stick by him and offer support. You can also pray that he don't have to go back to the hospital for any reason. And also pray that he will one day kick the habbit before it's too late.
