Good job on being smart and realizing that the cig would not help the situation!

I'm so sorry to hear the rough start of your year.

I do hope it all gets better from here.

Cheers,

Coco

Hello,

I just need to say that I am very proud of you for not giving in.

I cannot think of a situation that can be more stressful then a death in the family and still be capable of resisting.

Your courage will definetly help others when dealing with temptation.

Blessing for all your family and may your Mother-in-Law rest in peace 💜
