My mother smoked heavily for 50 years but when she had to have a new valve put in her heart and the docs advised her to give up,she did it straight up with no help,just pure will power.

I don't always see eye to eye with my mother but things like that make me so proud of her. She is a tough old boot when she puts her mind to it. She just doesn't put her mind to it often enough, but that's a different matter entirely.....
