You are right smoking never helps, the trials that life throw at you are unchanged. Sounds like you have had a heck of a time.

My deepest sympathy on the death of your mother 60 is no age.

My sympathies to you Paul, I'm so sorry about your mum.

You're right - reaching for a cig in these circumstances wouldn't - couldn't - help with any of your troubles.

I found that sudden loss of a loved one actually made me less inclined to smoke, because it was a stark reminder of how precious life is, and how foolish we've been to gamble with our health for so long.

Sending a prayer up for you and yours at this sad and difficult time. Stay strong.

Helen

Angry,

Of course I am coping fine. Up late typing eulogy... Smoking has never been a consideration matey...

Thanks everyone for the kind wishes and thoughts.... I have a great lot in life in general and just get on with it... My family takes up all my time when I'm not working and my running and I have a sunny disposition but the last 8 months it is getting beyond ridiculous..... I know it is not humorous but it is becoming a bit of a comedy (in the Shakespearean sense) and I'm beginning to brace myself at every door knock or phone call...

This will all come to pass and a fag won't actually make a blind bit of difference as to when or how it will pass, that the truth of it.
