I didn't condemn you......I criticised the fact you brought the Lord into your reasoning (which you seem to have deleted)..so it's a moot point.
I really don't care if you smoke or don't take meds....but remember the meds are still an option. Rectal meds....you never were on them from what I read...
I strongly suspect my mom had UC (her urgency, frequency, bleeding).....maybe hers never got so bad because she smoked. Lung cancer doesn't run in my family..she's the only one who's had it from who/what I know of her side of the family.
As I said, we all risk something in order to feel good...I don't see that as condemning.
be well,

I did not see anything deleted. The Lord as I said put everything (my belief) here for a purpose. Snakes, rats and tobacco. We may not understand why or for what purpose and many things may be misused. Tobacco (smoking) does bring relief to some (including me) and its use may not be for smoking but for the chemical that provides relief to UC. Hopefully that ingredient will be discovered so it is no longer necessary to smoke to get it. The Lord was NEVER used as an excuse but if you follow the time line and reasoning you will no doubt see that I made the decision to smoke first then the relief came then the trying to understand that the ingredient in tobacco just might be what we that have UC needs and the Lord put it here. Just an opinion, it probably was not for smoking since that in itself can be destructive.
