I find it outrageous.
These people I find hard to cope with as well...they drink a lot...and complain that "I" impact their drinking when I quit...Oh well...you don't wake up with a hangover in the morning...she probably does.

Bill W died of emphysema. I was once searching car parks for butts. It was that bad. Thank God I overcame that filthy habit. I lost my ex for a while over it. I still get urges but don’t want back the addiction or my smokers cough. Non smokers don’t understand same as non alcoholic. In some ways it is good my ex is dead so he can’t smoke in front of me.Anyway just saying that you have my support.
I'm a smoker...and I hate it...I had quit smoking also in the past...but picked it up again when I picked up the drink.

Its so GREAT you don't smoke...I hope you are doing good with your drinking goals...or not drinking goals....do what works....maybe whatever worked with the smoking.
