George, you know the right thing to do. I am a former smoker. I threw mine out the window when I was on the way to get have my port and peg consultation. Ive never smoked again.

Maybe you could try thinking of this a different way. Your recent cancer was your wake up call. Kinda like a warning shot. Its not easy to quit but yoru life does depend on it.

Drinking has been debatable on here. Some say certain drinks are ok. Some say in moderation. Personally, Im not going to tempt fate at all. Its not worth it.

Best of luck with strength to avoid these dangerous items.
