I don't think I have the courage. I've tried quitting a couple of
times as well, but I just couldn't bear it. And, it's my only vice. I
don't drink and I've never done any drugs in my life — not even pot.
My brother has officially quit smoking, but he'll still smoke every once
in a while, when nobody's looking. He just doesn't want his wife to
know that he does it. ;)

Thank you! It's not fun having to go through this. I'm not afraid of
dying, but this was not the way I would have wanted to go.
A stroke is one of the scariest things to go through, because you know
deep down inside that there's a chance you'll end up a vegetable,
having to rely on medical caregivers for everything. I wouldn't want
to lose my autonomy, or for that matter, my dignity.

I'm still keeping Claws Mail open until the end of the week, just in
case someone still wants to say goodbye — you never know who of the
long-time regulars might still be lurking but hasn't been posting
anymore in ages. ;-)
