Happy May everyone!
Another day, another day smokeless.
Life's just too darned busy to smoke anyway.
Lately I'm feeling like the tennis ball in a four person tennis match.
Unfortunately I don't see it letting up anytime soon.
Whenever summer finally gets around it would be nice to be able to enjoy it though.

I guess the big debate now is people "vaping". I wonder if we'll see Vape-Busters in the future?
Websites dedicated to help people quit vaping
I can see it happening. The Nico-Beast is going to get you one way or another.
I'm just glad I got that demon off my shoulders!

I know this have not been busy like it used to be. I always liked coming here because I always got the hope and encouragement from everyone and that's what helped me quit smoking. I have had some bad news. I have been married 46 years to the love of my life and he passed on last month. I have been depressed because it was unexpected and it's lonely without him. I have even thought about smoking again to see if it would make me feel a little better, but haven't done so yet. I could use some more words of wisdom right now.

I am so sorry you have lost hour husband. I still have mine so I don't know what you are going through but the adage is true 'time heals'. It will take time and you will be going through various stages of grief. I often think it would be nice to have one in moments of depression but we have fought so hard for so long that it's truly not worth it. I lost my mom a couple of years ago and I still think of her all the time, I call my sister and we talk about her. Pick on friends, clergy, even a group that focus on the loss of a spouse. Do what ever you have to for your peace of mind and body. Again my condolences on your loss.

Wow Country, I am sorry for your loss.
Unfortunately I have no words of wisdom for this. And even so, everyone handles loss in their own way. About the only advice I can offer is to avoid self-destructive grief. I know you are hurting and all too often we neglect what's good for us while dealing with grief. Withdrawing from the world and ourselves is only helpful in the short term, but long-term it inhibits the ability to find happiness in things.
Just like smoking boards, there are support groups for those dealing with loss. My brother has been gone for 2 years and my sister in law relies on a support group she feels comfortable with.
Bend an ear to those who will listen. Lean on those who offer an arm to hold when the walk is hard.
