Congratulations on your first 2 weeks. I may be wrong, but I doubt that
you have cigarettes growing out of your forehead or that you're
physically rolled up in a large white wrapped with a yellowish butt for
your ass. What I'm trying to say is, you were not born as a cigarette or
with a cigarette in your mouth and that it's probably detrimental to
think that you won't be yourself without one. I'm not a psychologist but
could use one. Good luck to you and you're family!

I've got a similar story, but it has to do with a birthday gift and
breastcancer.....anyway it saved my mom life... We hope your mom and
your sis are gonna do fine. Keep us posted on their progress ok!

Mark,

I'm so glad your mother decided to start a quit with your
support. I wish you both every success and all good things.

Take care and let us know how you both are doing.

Thanks Nancy! I'm going down there to visit this weekend. I'll post
whether or not she's quit yet. BTW, I love your tag line. Not many
people seem to know what that line is talking about, or ANY of "I Am
the Eggman", for that matter! Poor old addicted Edgar!
