Bravo! I quit smoking over 42 years ago and it remains the single hardest thing I've ever had to do. Of course I was smoking three packs a day when I quit cold turkey on Christmas eve 1972.
I will be honest and state I still have dreams sometimes where I am smoking....
As far as the other health issues, congrats on your progress and hopefully it will continue!

We ordered our house from the builder based on a display model and had to pick out everything from flooring, to fixtures, hardware, paint colors, ceramic tile in the bathrooms etc. That was in April 1975. Ground was broken in early June and we moved in after closing on September 15, 1975. It will be forty years ago this September. It seems ridiculous that it could be so long ago....
Good luck and I hope you love your new house as much as we love ours. DDK
I have to agree with what Private Tim wrote: (Chapter 35 Review)
Just my two cents, but I would never reveal personal information to someone who could later use that information to hurt me. I wouldn't have told Wally and Clara dick.
JJ seems to be in a good place and his confidence has returned which is a prerequisite for him to compete at that level. So hurrah for him.
Zach's dad is a problem and Clara is going to stand by her man as she has done in the past. I was surprised to hear the counselor say Wally and Clara were upset with Peebles as somehow I think it was really just Clara who was upset. Wally is a fault-finder and has never learned to balance that with praise----at least as far as his treatment of Zach. Even with counselling, I doubt that behavior ever changes. Taking a chance on telling Wally and Clara that he is gay may be something the counselor recommends if any relationship is to ever be re-established, but it could result in ruining his chances at a career if Wally gets all holier than thou and decides to go public so it is a terrible risk in my opinion. However, I am sure, Mr. Arbour will have something to say about all that.......
More Please!
Hugs Wayne!
I'll take my next installment of Jonas when you get to it, so no worries there. It does seem that when it rains, it pours and like you, I too am hoping for a better New Year. However, I too have an aged parent who is going to be 92 and in slumping health from diabetes complications and I am trying to take it just one day at a time. DDK
And I think it's important to realize and expect kids to make some major mistakes. It is part of growing up and some lessons just are not really learned except from ones own mistakes.....No matter how much parents preach.
It was perfect! I loved every aspect of their mutual exploration and lovemaking.
As far as the wait, I can cast no stones as my own project haunts my dreams until I get some time to write.....
