JUDY ABOUT SMOKING,ITS HARD TO STOP, I BEEN THERE 100 TIMES. BUT IM GOIG TO TRY AGAIN,,,,,,I GOT THE NICOTINE PATCHES IN THE HOUSE
SINCE NEW YEAR.....TOMMOROW I START AGAIN. !!!!!

PEEK IN LATER

3RD....MY 2 CENTS ON SMOKING.....
PART 1
.....NOBODY ENJOYED SMOKING "MARLBORO" MORE THAN ME...I COULDN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE UNLESS I HAD 3 PACKS OF CIGS WITH ME.....EVERYTIME I ATE SOMETHING OR HAD COFFEE, OR WAS DRIVING IN THE CAR OR (THE BEST) , EVERYTIME TIME I WAS ON THE PHONE--I HAD TO HAVE A SMOKE.
I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS REAL SMALL, I HAD SEEN MY FATHER , JUST A FEW TIMES, SMOKING. WHEN HE WAS STILL ALIVE, I ASKED HIM ONCE,"HOW DID YOU STOP?" HIS ANSWER WAS , "WHEN YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR, AND HE TELLS YOU SOMETHING THAT SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF YOU, YOU WILL THROW THE CIGARETTES AWAY BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE OFFICE" WELL, I WENT FOR A CHECK-UP IN LATE APRIL,2003.
I WAS STILL DEPRESSED OVER 9/11, AND I DECIDED TO GO GET A FULL EXAM----I FELT SO BAD LOOSING MY DAD, I WAS 49 YEARS OLD AND MY SON MICHAEL WAS ALMOST 5 YEARS OLD. I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW BAD I FELT AT 47 WHEN MY DAD DIED, I KNEW IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPENED TO ME, MY SON AND ALL MY KIDS WOULD FEEL WORST. SO I WAS DETERMINED TO MAKE SURE I WAS HEALTHY AND HOPED TO BE AROUND A LONG TIME FOR MY CHILDREN..

PT 2.....
SO, I HAD MY CHECK-UP.....EVERYTHING WAS LOOKED AT..TOP TO BOTTOM, INSIDE AND OUT.....AFTER EVERYTHING WAS DONE, I WENT BACK A FEW DAYS LATER TO DISCUSS THE RESULTS.....
WELL, THAT MOMENT HAD ARRIVED FOR ME, THE ONE MY DAD HAD TOLD ME ABOUT.....THE DOCTOR SAID.."I HAD THE BEGINNING SIGNS OF EMPHYSEMA"......YEP, THAT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. HE PUT ME ON MEDICINE AND TOLD ME TO STOP SMOKING NOW....BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE....
I SET A DATE( 4 DAYS AWAY), AND DECIDED I WOULD STOP ON MAR. 3RD,2003--3/03/03......IT WAS ALSO ASH WEDNESDAY, I SAID A PRAY, ASKED GOD FOR HELP, AND NEVER HAD ANOTHER CIGARETTE EVER AGAIN.....
.....YOU ALL CAN QUIT IF YOU WANT TO....NO, ITS NOT EASY, BUT IT CAN BE DONE

AND NOW ...THE PHOTOS OF THE DAY

...SOME BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS OVER GREAT KILLS

JOE, SUZIE WISH ME LUCK, TOMMOROW I START GIVING UP SMOKING.
