Hi everyone! I am Trish. I do hope this e-mail/message finds you all well. So, I am on the road to trying to quit..I have a few reasons. Most of which are pretty obvious. No. 1, it's not good for the health, no. 2, I can't keep up with the increase in insurance rates as a smoker. No. 3, it's time. I've been a smoker for over 30 years. It's awful. I should be able to do this since I have cut it way back since I received a stent in my heart almost 2 years ago. I thought I could give it up, and then the break-up happened with an ex of mine from the past. He came back into my life and broke it off with me 6 months later. Since then, I have had a few losses in my life, and you would think that would give me the means to quit. Nope, I continued with my smoking. I also figured that since I am a single girl, and some of my close friends are passing away at such young ages, that I would live my life as I see fit. Well, this is not realistic. We all know this. I am just being a rebel. I am a hard working, good person (for the most part). I have a great family, and a wonderful son. I should want to stick around for all the good in my life. Anyway, that's my story. It's my time to Quit. Thanks everyone for letting me vent. I appreciate it. Have a great weekend.
Trish
