Hey, quitting cigarettes is no small feat. There are enough things holding us back in life without adding to it. Quitting cigarettes is one choice I guarantee you won’t regret.
Also, don’t sell yourself short. You say “little league clean”, but the process is the same. Be proud of your wins. There will be enough problems in life. Take those wins where you can.
I'm very proud, and part of the belittlement in my comment is not that I'm not proud of it, but I think I may have used it that way to show my respect for your archievement.
So that's what I'm actually saying, I'm a bit more proud of you kicking your bad habits than my own, so well done on that.
I hope the bleak aspect on life and other people may change a bit to the positive this year. In fact, that is my Christmas wish for you (even though I detest Christmas in all it's commercial shallowness)
Oh I knew all that. I just wanted to let you know that I also respect your struggle, and that all struggles are worth it in the end.
Thank you for the kind words though. As a grown man praise doesn’t come very often.
