An apology in advance

[KichigaiNeko]

I apologize in advance if I am uncharacteristically snarky or irritable over the next few weeks.

I quit smoking tobacco on January 30th - it's been 5 days since my last fix of nicotine. Some may remember that I had quit back at the end of 2012, but it didn't take - I made the mistake of thinking I could have a cigarette or two occasionally. Yeah, right.

I came down with a nasty case of bronchitis while on vacation, and after two very serious respiratory illnesses over the last 2 1/2 years, I finally got it through my thick skull that if I wanted to live for more than a handful more years, I had to do something before it was too late - if indeed is not already so.

Good for you mate. Smoking is a very slow and painful way to commit suicide.

I quit with the help of prayer. Do let us know if you can achieve the same results without, .

One could say the same of just breathing. Prayer never helped anyone ... Unless you of course mean self delusion
