Slightly less topical than religion Okay, this has to be the biggest whitey to ever hit me...and probably many others on the board aswell. So, I finished work @ me new job tonight around 8, I got dropped off @ the regent centre to catch me bus. I didn't know what time the bus was so I rang traveline.....closed never mind I rang me sista. She hit me with the news that me 33 year old brother has had a muthafukin heart attack....fukin 33 ya na. My stomach instantly creased and wretched and I was praying she didn't say those words.....he's gone. Luckily he's in a stable state in. Doctor told him straight off. You nearly died today because you smoke. You could have been away there son. O I, he told him straight arite. Just wonderin how many smoke on the board and if they na that they are killing themselves. It hit home alright today I tell you. Just wonder who will be kicking themselves after they've got cancer. I know I wanna live til @ least 70...cheap insurance crazy fast cars retirment. I'm only 19 now like? Well.................?
awwwww hun, thats really bad news, at least hes ok tho, well, as good as can be expected anyway!! i dont smoke and think its an awful habit but alot, infact all of my mates (except dr HH and maybe a select few others) smoke and its nasty and bad for them!! give my love to ure bro and ure family tho and i hope everything is ok, and even tho i dont know u, if u wana talk feel free, im here most the time anyway
I smoke..................and wish to fuck i had never started! when my dad was diagnosed with cancer my mate said to me that it would be enough to make him stop. i agreed it should but i can't remember a time when i didn't smoke. plus the fact i really do enjoy it! a friend of mine died a few weeks ago from cancer. she'd been diagnosed last year and was ridled with it. she was 29 yrs old and we'd started smokin at the same time, i was 9 and she was 12. this made me think about it even more than my dad's death. guess coz its a bit more "in ya face" when its someone so young and a friend. sorry to hear bout your bro and give him our best. btw, is he gonna stop now?
yeah but even if you dont smoke, theres still the passive smoking side of things!!! seems like it doesnt matter whether we smoke or not, we still gonna get cancer in our old age somewhere!!!!
smoking is a horrible horrible thing, look at the effects... my gran died not long ago through cancer, she had cancer-of-the-everything. ive never smoked and never will, and i actively encourage ppl to quit as i never want to see or hear of anyone that ill, or see the effects it had on my dad ever again. it's all well and good thinking it'll never happen, but it does, and it will. hope ur brother picks up mate.
thanks alot ppl it means alot to me. Yep he's stopped so has my mother and so has my father. I have been havin a right go @ my mother and father in the last few weeks. You see my nanna died from smoking and it hurt my family alot since we are soooooo close. but however my mother still carried on smoking. i have literally stopped speaking to her since it killed her mother and as my mam is 54 years old....me being only 19.....I dont wanna lose my mum at such as young age. My mam had 7 miscarriges b4 she had me which meant alot of time was between me and my bro. then she had my sis who is partially disabled. Ask fitzy what happened when my gran died, i was at his house when I found out. it hurt like nothing had ever hurt me b4. it literally killed my family for months. now everything is sweet but then this has happened. my own flesh and blood....i dont wanna lose him hes great. i love him to bits. It's true what they say....you dont realise what you've got til its gone. i nearly lost my bro...imagine if twas ur bro. It hurt so much when i found out. The message is this. 'ITS TRUE WHAT IS SAYS ON THE TIN. SMOKING KILLS. I WANNA SEE 60,70 WHATEVER HAPPENS. FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER. YOU LOSE YOUR FAMILY THATS IT YOUR ON YOUR OWN. SOMETHING I DONT WANNA HAPPEN TO ME. BUT TO SOME PPL IT WONT EVEN BOTHER THEM READIN THIS. THEN IT HAPPENS ON YA OWN DOORSTEP IT HURTS. IT HURTS LIKE NOTHIN EVER HAS HURT YOU B4. PLEASE FOR GODS SAKE, FOR YOUR FAMILY'S SAKE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY YOUR SAKE. STOP SMOKING. ?
if it's any consolation mate, reading this makes me even more determined to stay off the tabs properly this time, like i've sed elsewhere its been over 4 weeks now and I'm still finding it hard to keep off them properly, but hearing stuff like this really hardens my resolve. I've got young kids and don't wanna be dying on them or turning into a physical wreck if I dont have to. Everyone who smokes knows whata mugs game it is but it is really hard to stop..... I've tried dozens of times and this is only about the 3rd or 4th time I've managed more than even a week or so. Hope ya brother's gonna be ok.
Cheeeeeeeers ppl. U too Glitter:angel:Angel. Al pm ya when I need a shoulder to on!!! I have smoked in the past and gave up recently.....twas well hard...but I dont comprehend why ppl wanna literally kill demselves. Yeh, there is something bout smokin that is quite theraputic however in the long run ya gonna hurt the ppl around ya whether it be m8s or family. That coulda been it for me bro. and that has to be the biggest whitey ever. Luckily God gave him a yellow card to make him realise. Am not trying to tell yaz what to do but when its ya own family...it makes you realise how special ppl are to ya.
