I had quit smoking for two years until July 5th, 2011, when my husband of 12 and a half years suddenly told me he wanted a divorce. He would not consider marriage counseling or any form of trying to work it out. Come to find out he was having an affair with our next door neighbor. In less than two weeks, I was smoking a pack a day again. Cigarettes were my security blanket. Now, after 2+ years, I am ready to kick the smoking habit. I kicked the marriage habit and actually ended up better than I was when I was married. Seems to me the cigarette habit is ready to be kicked to the curb as well.
I would like to hear from others who have gone through this kind of stress and are ready to leave cigarettes behind too. The loss of a loved one is stressful and painful; but, together, I believe we can really encourage one another.
The best revenge is a life well-lived!
