Thanks for your understanding. You have been there. I was working part time as a cashier at a grocery store but had to quit recently so I could be home with my husband. He will be wearing his oxygen and then light a cigarette. I caught him doing that numerous times and I always tell him that he needs to stop doing that or he will really hurt himself. Or others. HIs answer was that he forgets but he never had a problem doing that. Plus many times he nods off while holding a lit cigarette. You would not believe the holes he has burnt into our living room furniture, the carpet, his blankets, and his bedroom floor. He has been on oxycodone for years due to spinal stenosis. I am surprised that he hasn't started a fire and burnt the house down. Now with his advanced copd and lung cancer, he gets confused and does not really know what he is doing most days. Everyday it is something new. I am so happy for you that you have taken control over your own body. I know that I need to do that or this will spiral out of control. Right now it is not too bad, but I keep on, the pounds will grow. I have some depression and don't feel like doing anything to change yet. I, too , am a believer and I pray also. But I need to get closer to God. My faith has been wavering and my trust. Still, I believe with all my heart that he is my savior. I need to spend more time with his word and praying more. I need to not only improve my relationship with God and get closer to helping get control of my own body. I hope you and your husband have a wonderful day and great New Year.
