If there is one thing I regret in life, it’s smoking.  It was a really terrible addiction that I had for 12 years.  Quitting was the most difficult thing I have ever had to do.  I still struggle with it to this day.  I went two years without one and then one day, right when Cori was trying to quit, I picked it up again.  The pressure of giving up “crutches”, especially when you are going through the stress that we were, is so incredibly hard.  We know that smoking is the worst thing to do when you have children, so I don’t take Cori’s struggle in the episode lightly.  I felt for her and tried to make it better in some way.  She is right though, nothing helps.  If any of you smoke, you should really considering stopping.  I know I sound like a PSA, but it’s important.  Cori and I have both lost people we love from smoking, and I would give up a lot to just have one more day with my Grandmother, Josephine.  She passed away from cancer and was a smoker.  Let’s stop together.  Are you in?  Ok, me too!
