Here is what I posted when I read the report:
Boy am I relieved that I quit before that second hand smoke report came out. It still made me feel very quilty for putting my kids through all that but at least I can say, "I'm not doing that anymore". It brought up a lot of feelings for me. One of which is extream gratefullness that we all are ok. I am so gratefull and I know that it is by the grace of god that none of us have any horrible consequences and we can quit now and in a few short years, be healthy like we never smoked. I have my teeth problems, but that seems to be about it. I know that is the protection of God.
Also, both my parents smoked and I had a brother that died of crib death before I was born. I can't imagine how my mother feels about the report, but we havnt' talked about it. I am having to really avoid spending much time with her because she is still smoking. It's hard for me to be in her house. I'm not sure we would talk about it anyways, avoidance is one of the ways my family deals with things. Maybe even if she heard the reports (i don't know how she could not hear it, it's all over the television) she will pretend she didn't.
anyways, I thank God that I am quit, and that my daughter is quit. i thank god that all my kids are ok and I am ok. I ask god to help me and be with me while I am getting used to my smoke free life.
Thank you guys too for all your friendship and for reading my ramblings!
Love,
Mama
Whenever I have trouble thinking of something to pray for, I just thank God that we are all ok.
