Gary,

I bonded with you the moment I met you last December when I logged onto the site. You are truly an inspiration to many and have helped me through many a difficult times and helped set my mind at ease on multiple occasions. I understand you and do not find what you say too harsh. My sister still smokes and I wanna kick her in the butt everyday for it but there just isn't a darn thing I can do to make her stop. Even watching our mom go through this she has cut back and since she stays at my house during the week to watch my little one she doesn't smoke at all during the week but she lights up those cigarettes on the weekends at her house. I don't really have an understanding of addiction but I do think that seeing somebody go through the battle with oral cancer would definately be an incentive to quit.

Thank you for all your wise and informative posts!
Danielle
