Got it. Thanks for taking the time to explain your thoughts to me. I noticed we have quite a few views on this thread, and so I know I'm probably not the only one out there dealing with this.
I'm so glad I embarked upon this journey. Last Dec., I thought to myself, I gotta quit, I know that by quitting I'll be doing my health a favor. I don't want to die. But little did I know, that I'd find some real happiness.
