omg Sukarno, I really feel for you, but I also admire you for trying so hard to quit. I smoke, and I also have a few risks for heart disease already, and it occurred to me that each time I light up it's like I'm lighting up a little bomb. So I'm trying to cut back; I wish I could quit but I just don't think I could do it right now b/c my depression is kinda bad at this point. So like I said, I really admire you, and I wish you so much luck with it. And here's a fact I found really interesting, apparently almost half of the people who have severe depression smoke. And it's actually recommended that they not try to stop until their depression stabilizes b/c it makes the depression worse and harder to deal with. I kinda wish I had a physical reason that I had to quit like you do. Not that I don't feel for you for suffering your gastric pain like you do, but because I think that's the only way I could get myself to stop.
Hang in there...I've just met you but already I am proud of you.
KatIve got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
