Well, I would love to be a part of getting your stories published if you're interested. No strings attached. No pay expected. You give what you want or don't want. I publish to YOUR own Kindle Direct Publishing and CreateSpace accounts (can create for you if need be). You get all your royalties, etc.
If you don't want to do it though, that's fine as well. You're the boss! :-) I can get you on iBooks, Barnes & Noble, and a few others as well. It just depends on how far you want to take it.
Ugh, I hear you on the lifestyle changes. I quit smoking in Jan. of 2015...picked it back up a few months last summer, and now that the warm weather is back around in my neck of the woods, I'm craving like crazy. I should have long since been over stupid cigarettes, but I just enjoy them so much. It's the break, it's the buzz, it's the throat hit.....I miss it!
Even so, I don't want to be where you are in 20 years with the oxygen and the doctors, and the crappy prognosis. It's a catch 22.
