While I understand this is not your situation, Chrys, you brought up 'moral and ethical obligations'. I do not feel morally or ethically obligated to care for ANYONE who is damaging to me or was damaging to me in the past. Mentally or physically. I am not morally or ethically obligated to even have contact with that crap. Once that line of abuse is crossed it is OVER. Forever. Done. I don't give a fig who you are or your relation to me.

Evelyn, You have the Power, Girl. You will have success and power over all that ugly. I am sorry it is a long hard slog for you but, you will triumph. I know you will. Stay close, post often, study a flower, tickle The Pigs. Love, S

CONGRATULATIONS to MASTERGARDENER for TWO WEEKS Nicotine FREE Thank you so much for quitting Nicotine ! and it is a pleasure to have you here ! Love, S

my chest pains over the years have all been due to 1, anxiety 2, sleeping weirdly or doing something that pulled muscles Since you have quit smoking, anxiety is a likely suspect at the beginning. Do you meditate ? Meditation is good breathing, calming breathing and highly recommended. Stretching exercises too ! If pains are wigging you out go to a medical professional. Love, S

Breathe, Gabby. For sure your lungs look better than they did when you were a smoker. They start cleaning immediately ! amazing ! Try to not future trip. NOW is where you can do things, change things. Love, S

We all lost our minds to a damned addiction, some of us for years and Years and YEARS. Thankfully, we came to our senses. You know, today as i passed by folks smoking it was the first time that the smell registered in my brain as a horrible smell, a hideous smell. Up until now, fresh cigarette smoke still smelled sort of good to me... perhaps just reminding my brain of the comfort I once found by puffing to relieve my withdrawals. Smells are like that....very attached to memories. It didn't make me want one or even feel nostalgic...it just smelled inexplicably good. Until today... Today was a milestone of sorts. The smell of a burning cigarette reminded me of nothing nice, nothing comforting. It was a markedly sharp burning to my nose and eyes, smelling just like the poisons that it contains. Toxic. Virulent. Dangerous.

-1 hi sticks ! :wub:
