@Linda ThomasI was imagining you at the hospital with your parents, which got me to thinking how smoking enabled me to remove myself from situations or people. I had to go outside for a smoke.

I was always out of the closet with smoking, didn't lie about it, didn't care. I 'LOVED' smoking. I smoked everywhere. Smoking and I were like white on rice, inseparable for 40 something years. I didn't trouble myself about it. Quit while pregnant, resumed after the birth. Then, a bit over five years ago, it dawned on me that I was just like a junkie. I hated junkies, (even threw Tim Hardin out of my house for shooting up in my bathroom). I knew nothing about addiction. I quit on a whim and lurked here and there, immersing myself in an education about nicotine and nicotine addiction. With information, I understood the lies, the lies and the denial. It strengthened my resolve. I
