13 Days NO Smoking and No Drinking. I feel so sad, I don't know if I'm grieving the lack of smoking or my sister's situation. I never got along with her bu5 she's going thru divorce and her daughter is now doing mariguana, not arriving home until next day..etc. I have talked to my niece anyway and I'm keeping an eye on her. With all this and me not smoking, it's been a little bit harder. I don't know if I miss my smoking or if I'm truly sad for my sister (and I can't stand her). I hope I can resolve what's keeping me this way :(

@Yourpretty Thanks :slight_smile: I try to be, since my sister’s mother skills are not the best ones…

I have to give you a lot of credit. I can't stand my sister and it would be hard for me to do anything for her. Glad you are putting your niece first.

@Checkers You know, she’s my only sister, and it hurts because I have made all kind of efforts to have a relationship with her, but she is mean, a bully and careless, even with her daughter. Sometimes I ask God why did my only sister had to be that way. How do you handle your sister?
