Joined: May 2005 Posts: 497 | Wilma! That is wonderful news. Don't feel bad about being happy just come back and cheer for us when we are cured. I quit the bad smokes too. I am glad you did and I hope you never smoke again. I am 1 day away from 2 packs a day but I am done forever.
God be with you,

That is great news. Stay away from the cancer sticks. As I was so lucky to learn, even 1 cig a day is 1 too many. What is that AA saying, 'one is too many and a thousand is not enough'. That goes for cigs also. Do not sstart smoking again even to the slightest.
Take care,
Eileen
