Joe, Great news (both that you don't have oral cancer and that you have quit smoking). I quit smoking at age 37 and was so glad to be rid of that addiction (and I know how hard it can be). I love your wife's suggestion about the letters to yourself, sounds like you have a very supportive (and creative) spouse there to help you.

I hope you never have the need to come back here again!
