The Acid Test!

I just went through the acid test. I was watching the Love Manchester concert and blubbing away as everyone did when I heard a bang from outside. I went to have a look and found that a drunk driver had just wiped out my car. I checked the driver was OK and called emergency services and looked at my car which was crumpled up like a concertina. Upshot is the car is a write off, I can't afford a new one and yet I have not had a single cigarette. So we can get through bad things without a puff. I dug out my bicycle and pumped up the back tyre and now I am ready to go. I miss my car though.

Hey Bobb, sorry about your car but glad nobody was hurt, but wow, huge well done on not smoking during a very stressful time! That is one thing I found in my 20 months quit is that I deal with stress far better and a lot more calmer smoke free.....!

Every cloud too, now you will get fit cycling

Bobb...Sorry for the car but well done on the positive action there after...Just to confirm my statement that cigarettes gives us a false piece of mind......We can do things on our own like handling stress...!! Keep up the cycling and is dual benneficery....... you keep fit and get to point B...!!!!

Wow!!!!! That's one hell of an acid test!!! So sorry to hear about your car!!! Hope insurance can help maybe..?

Brilliant news though that you got through without a cigarette!!! They are NOT the cure all we may have once believed eh!!

All the best, and well, your bike sounds like a great choice... divine intervention perhaps...? 😊
