Over 50 yrs of that garbage and when I was diagnosed with OC, it was the boost I needed to quit and never look back. I know what I thought when someone would tell me to quit. Maybe it was just showing someone that I couldn't be bullied into quitting. Good luck Ray and I hope she quits for her sake and your peace of mind.
