And that is what it would be just an EXcuse! I remember one of the elder's posted a list of EXcuses used to continue smoking. Mine was on the list. Fear of gaining weight. Well I quit smoking and I gained a little weight and I eventually lost a little weight. In fact, I now weigh less than when I first quit smoking. It balanced out but I needed to focus on the quit first. I am here to tell you not to worry because quitting smoking is the beginning of an overall healthier lifestyle. You will get there. One day at a time, one task at a time. With all the crisis going on around us please don't use one of them as an EXcuse to smoke.
May I just add that Life is precious so the last thing we need in our Lives is Self destruction. That's what smoking is! We All need to care for ourselves and each other! Peace! Love! Hugs to each of You! Hugs for you, Jackie! God Bless!
