The subject has been on my mind a long time. The other day I saw a friend with smokeless tobacco he probably thought was well concealed, and I thought to myself why hurt yourself like that???? It's past time for me to turn over a new leaf. Just because I've skated free this long doesn't mean my lucky streak won't ever run out. Thanks for the nudge I needed to quit whistling past the graveyard.
After all, my life goal is to outlive the last Republican on earth.

It can't be as tough as kicking tobacco, etc. I'd be a wuss if I couldn't do this.

I know very few so uplifting, regardless of the context in which it's received at the moment.
