PLEASE READ!!! THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD- 1 full week!

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 2838

Golly---I am sitting at my desk crying my eyes out! That is the saddest story, Maria. I am going to print it out and put it in my wallet. The next time I decide on a whim that I would rather smoke than go through all of this torture, I'll make myself read it. Give Michael some extra loving---that little boy needs it!

Maria, wow, this is the reality that we have all denied as smokers. what a horrid way to go...so very sad. the only good that comes of this is that by hearing about it others may stay quit....I hope that little boy has a lot of support.

Maria, please let me also say that this is very sad, but it a true reminder of what smoking does to people after years of abusing our bodies by contiuing to smoke. It's so sad.

Wow, what a reality check. This is such a reminder of how smoking effects the people that are left behind. Yes that would be a horrible way to die, however just think of the impact that your final days would have on your family. I love my son to much to ever make him witness his mother like that. Thanks for the inspriation...and yet another reason to stay SMOKE FREE. Congrats on your day 8....that is awesome.

Thanks maria, This kind of story is not new to me here but it never fails to put life and "troubles" into perspective. As I put in another post earlier today, it's a choice to smoke and it's a choice to be happy; make the right choice on both counts because life is too short. Thanks & Best Wishes Penitent d848

Maria, Thank you for sharing :) That poor child having to deal with the picture in his mind. These can be wake-up calls for all. Our thoughts and prayers go out to this little individual, who didn't need to see that side of life. I always encourage members to share their wake-up moments, because it will help educate and support others in the time of need. Please share, as Maria did and let's learn from one another :) Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
