Cubs make another trade with the Rangers, this time for Cole Hamels, with Texas taking on a large part of his salary. The Cubs give up often injured Eddie Butler, a lower level minor leaguer named Rollie Lacy, and a player to be named later. Looking at his stats, I didn't realize Hamels has regressed as much as he has. He used to be one of the better pitchers in the game. Still, if he can do better than Tyler Chatwood, I will be happy with that return.

Welcome back

What you are going through is normal. I know that is probably of little comfort right now but all of us went through this. Things really do get better with time. The first few days really are the roughest and you are making it through that roughest part. Just keep fighting through it. We'll be here if you want to yell, curse, etc. Do what you have to do as long as you don't light up. What you are doing is a great thing.

Welcome, Rory. Congratulations on 8 years smoke free. Yes, please encourage your friend to sign up here. I never thought I would be able to quit but having a support group and educating yourself about nicotine addiction can greatly increase your chances of quitting for good. I know it is really hard watching a loved one struggle with health issues due to smoking when you know, as a quitter, how much better off they would be without that dark cloud of nicotine addiction ruining their lives. We will be there to provide any support she needs.

Congratulations on 5 years smoke free, Paul! That is truly awesome!

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.
