Hello odaat, Sorry for your loss, Iam sure your cuz was a good person. You loss was surly a bad one no doubt and my thoughts are with you. You must remember, she was an addict like all of us on this site. We to know what she went through. Perhaps not the alcohol, but certainly the nicotine addiction. It is just that, an addiction, like any other iddiction. The only difference is that she lost her fight with her iddiction and we all can learn a very important lesson form this tragedy. There is certainly meaning to her death. Perhaps we can take control of our addictions and we can all fight a little harder next time we feel like reaching for a cig or over induling on alcohol. Her death was certainly a tragedy, but it made us all stop and think about what we are doing and what direction we want our quits to go in. So, yes, there is "meaning". She made me think and I dont even know her. If we all take control of our situations and our lives in general, we will all succeed. But we have to continue to realize that it is an iddiction that we created and that we allowed it to control us. Now we have to turn the tables and we can do that by taking back our lives so this tragedy does not happen to us and our loved ones. So how do we do this? We learn about our iddictions weather it be nicotine or alcohol. We slowly learn how to curve our cravings until they are gone or until we can control them. We learn how to except our challengs and we learn that these iddiction can be contained or distroyed. We have to use all the tool that we can get our hands on and we MUST KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE!!! We cant whine or become babys, we have to stay strong and alert. That means we have to change our life styles and even the people we keep company with if need be. This/these addictions that we created are lodged in our brains and only we can get rid of them. But we have to never stop trying and we have to fight it like no other fight we have ever been in. Along the way, it will get easier and eaiser unti one day, you will look back and say, " dam, I did it" So get to work people! Keep God in your hearts and in your thoughts also!

This week I lost my cousin, 48 years old, to complications from smoking and alcoholism. I have been very upset by this and it has really hit home with me as I am 46 and am not prepared to die. I was very angry with God for taking this person out of my life. I know I can't bring her back but some people in my support group have suggested I bring "meaning" to her death somehow. I was thinking about quitting in a few days and lo and behold, the day I was planning to quit turned out to be her funeral. In memory of her, I am vowing to take charge of my own life and put these cigarettes away forever, just one day at a time. Her death can not be in vain.
