Thanks Rita. You're post kinda made me stop stressing out about this. I play softball and tennis sometimes (just for fun) and just knowin someone else did this helped me make up my mind about things. I love sports and I like smoking (which I still find weird-if u knew me this would make sense lol)so for now i still plan on doing both.
