Quote from: GDubya
My heart hurts for you and your family. So sorry to hear of your loss. I pray for healing and strength for you and your family.
It pains me to have to say the same thing two times in the same day, but right now, words just don't work. I pray you find some peace and comfort in this period of loss. I believe this separation is only temporary, and that you will see her again, in a far better place than any here on this earth. May God bless you and yours.

Medicff,

Brother you and I have been through it together every step of the way. We are only as strong as those we surround ourselves with. I am always here.

There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.

My deepest condolences to you and your family and my warmest prayers for your wife. I have a ton of respect for you and just as much gratitude for sharing all of this here. My quit is stronger and my resolve is stronger. All I can offer back is this tiny slice of peace knowing that you and your wife had an impact on me. God bless

I just read your story brother and I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and the pain you guys went through and continue to face. Your wife sounds like an incredible woman of strength and peace. I'm sure some of that strength will get you and the kids through. Hang in there man, and thanks for sharing your story with us.

Prayers to you and your family Ben. It sounds like your wife touched an awful lot of lives in her time on earth and that's something to be cherished. May God's grace and comfort be with you in this trying time.

Proverbs 18:2

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."


A Quit Plan: Do you have one?


CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit.
After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco. SportDad 1/13/05

Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light.-
Good-night, dear heart, good-night.

Be silly, be honest, be kind

Prayers man.

Words may not mean much right now but know that we're all thinking of you.
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

I'm so sorry for your loss...
You will NEVER regret quitting. You will ALWAYS regret caving ~ NOLAQ
