Have you tried to quit smoking while undergoing treatment?

Yes mindfulness is powerful and I am living proof. I never smoked, and I got lung cancer. However it was the unfair stigma, blame and lack of others education that has driven me to help and try to change the face of lung cancer and help save lungs and lives.
Our honest if not raw patient stories about our disease needs to be told so we can shake others into reality about living with the ugly side of cancer. It is the platform of Connect that affords us to share our real unsexey stories (the stories that many can’t address) that truly help everyone begin, to heal!
Keep up your hard work. You can beat this addiction!
Best

The goal of being in the pit is to continue being a caring and giving person. No matter how bad it seems to be I know someone else needs my smile.

@llwortman How profound! Direct to the point and oh so true. It echoes a philosophy that one doesn't know who they truly are until they hit rock bottom. Many people have no clue what rock bottom is in the general world. In Mayo Cnnnect I would venture to say most people get it - we understand rock bottom & because of that our eyes have been open.
