Please get it done Gypsy..you know it kills...
I smoked once too and was gripped by its terrible addictive grasp...
I made many half hearted attempts at quitting...many a conversation with self about when and why and how and the shoulds and the evidence and the smell and the yellow teeth and the cough and the never ending needfull obsession and the hoarding and the stops at convenience stores to make sure I didn't run out and of course the ever increasing expense...
Denial kept me smoking...denial of Truth as it stared me in the face. Denial was killing me as quickly as the cigarettes...like a snake,,denial creeps upon Truth with the power of lies and rationalization. It won't happen to me.
But it does,,every day it happens to a me somewhere,,,literally thousands upon thousands of mes....
All those conversations were the foundation...the preparation for the moment when...
I made a decision....
The decision to be a non smoker...
Period...
No more lies to you or me...period.
I made a decision and that was that...
Body rebounded and fought against the decision as all addictions do.
But I had decided.
Never smoked since.
You don't need luck,,,you need a decision.
With Care,
Lenny
