I agree with Christine; stop smoking asap. It's great that you are getting in to see someone soon. Please let us know how you do.
No, you are NOT overstepping. This is why we are here. We have all been in the same boat. This is a wonderful support group and I'm glad you were confident enough to introduce yourself to us. We are family...welcome to the gang!!
