To those who smoke
I had no idea that so many of my buddies are making a commitment to also quitting smoking this year, not just losing weight. I am so VERY proud of my wonderful buddies and all here who are making this huge and difficult choice. All the best in your choice to chose health.
My mom is addicted to smoking and it is the most difficult thing I struggled with this Chrismas. I mean I was home much longer then I usually am. It kills me to see her kill herself. I know it is extremely difficult for her too, but we do not talk about it anymore. Luckily I have more compassion then ever before because I have seen the struggles of buddies here. I realise it is not easy. So I shall learn to practise my compassion more for my Mom. I was angry to have to wash so much clean but smelling smokey clothes, but that was not really why I was angry. But now I feel a little more peace. We all struggle with something, right?
Peace, strength and love to all of you who are committing to your health.
The next time I think of how I want to eat crap, I will empathize even more. But maybe, just maybe I will chose something more healthy to satisfy my hunger. Love you.
Thank you, I have not totally quit yet, but have slowed way down. Thanks for your support.
You have a beautiful soul girl!
You are inspiring me to be more compassionate with my own mom who’s a smoker. Hahhhhh, it’s so hard for me to watch her do it. I stopped buying it for her a year ago. I don’t want to be an enabler anymore.
I hope our other buddies who smokes make the decision to stop as well.
I thank my lucky stars everyday because even though I have smoked in the past and consider myself a “social” smoker, I have never been addicted to the thing! I can’t imagine having one more difficult thing to contend with aside from my weight!!
This was super sweet…you’re such a great person…please don’t leave BS, what would we do without you?
