Am I boxed in?

Or is my voice free?

Am I allowed to speak?

What is a smoking mindset?

It's when all you can think about is when or how I'm going to get that next cigarette fix....

TRIVIA 04-27-2021 

Went to my Sis' great great grandsons 1st birthday.   Had a good time all was well.
Took silly selfies with my sis Dawn on 3/13/21.

On march 17th she passed away.  I cannot get thru this...My BFF my confidant fell to the floor no pulse, 63 yrs old.  They could not bring her back.  Gone! Forever.  My only sis.  I don't care if I smoke myself to death!  I do not know how to move forward with out my BF. No more phone calls at least 4 a day.  No more silly quips it is all gone.

Looking for newbies, old post.
