The biggest motivation for my quit so far. Found out my 70 year old Grandmother has lung cancer today, she smoked for 45 years (she quit about five years ago). I can safely say I have never hated smoking and cigarettes so much as today. I would never want to inflict this pain and heartache on my family again by continuing with this disgusting habit.

Not a very good few days at all, still have insomnia, I have a streaming cold, essay deadlines and now this. Still, the thought of having a cigarette makes me feel physically sick.

I hope everyone else is having a better week than I am.

:( You're having a right old time of it Kirstie and the news of your grandmother must have been a terrible shock. I so hope it has been caught in time and that she will recover.

Take care of yourself won't you? And do try to get as much rest as possible...
