Keith, could you not cut back at least on the fags? There is so much help these days to give up, and your doctor should be able to help, meanwhile stop and think about all the people who want you to give up and put the next fag back in the pack for an hour, then think again at that time and so on. Or don't have the first one till after a certain time of day and move that forward every couple of days till you aren't having one in the mornings, and so on. I know you are stressed so it's difficult but you will be more stressed if you end up like my o.h.'s friend, incapable of looking after himself through several strokes, and finally died aged 60. No dignity left when you have to have help to use the loo, dress yourself, feed yourself etc etc and you can't drive about at will or even walk down the street. |

As much as I would never wish anyone to be ill I'm afraid I have no sympathy for anyone who has had strokes, cancer or heart problems and continues to smoke against the advice of doctors. It is irresponsible and suicidal. You can say it's your life but what about your family - are they not deserving of more consideration? If you continue to smoke you increase your chances of a massive stroke that will leave you incapacitated or dead. Make your choice - because you do have one. |
