Good luck Vee70. Luckily smoking never had a hold on me. Could pack up easily. Just smoked socially at 1st. Completly gave up Dec 21 1990. When my Mom died of Smoking related disease at 62. Within 2 days of feeling ill she was gone. Bad old Woodbines. Tip i used to do. If i had a craving for a fag. I used to chew gum. Found it helped. Good luck BRIAN

Was sad. My Mom knew she was ill. But kept it to herself. Not wanting to worry us. Xmas has never been the same since. But good opportunity to have holidays every year since

Xmas is so difficult for many, i guess a holiday makes it slightly more bearable.

I see you are in hosp, from another post. Wishing you a speedy recovery 😊
