I wrote a while back that Marcel was planning to stop smoking once he was finished with school, and once Samatha’s visit had come and gone. As you know, both have transpired, and this morning he had an appointment with the doctor about his plans to stop.
The doctor was supportive and enthusiastic, and gave him some medication that hopefully will help him stop once and for all. I have a feeling that I’m going to need alot of patience during this endevour, because already Marcel is prickly and grumpy and his stop date isn’t for two weeks from now.
I know he can do it, I just hope he’ll believe in himself and make the changes. I know his body will be grateful, and so will I, even though he doesn’t smoke near me, because I’m allergic.
Say a prayer for me that I can keep my big mouth shut when he gets grumpy, and just accept that it’s all part of the process. Say a prayer for us both, pretty please- I have a feeling we’ll both need it.
Just a little encouragement, Greg used to smoke, many moons ago, and he was able to stop cold turkey with medication, so it can work. That was probably 20 years ago. But he hasn’t looked back, and, boy, am I glad!!
I’ll say a little prayer for you guys!

Thank you so much Beth. I’m so happy that Marcel is taking this step, and I know he’ll be happy he did once he gets to that ‘i’m stopped’ point. I know he can do it. I appreciate the prayers.
Maggieeeee… How are you? Thank you for the prayers. 🙂 I’ll need them too
