Hello lost in t.,

I heard a saying once that I find useful. It goes, "it's normal for an addict to use, it is a miricle when they don't." As far as narcotics go, stopping is in everones best interest, hopefully before tragedy or incarceration. When I smoked cigs, though, I allowed myself to use them, but when I quit, I gave it full effort. I smoked cigs to releive stress, I thought that obsessing about whether to smoke or not smoke, while smoking, defeated the purpose of smoking, which was to releive stress.

I went for a walk in the strangly warm weather in the northeast USA today. I am glad to be clean. I've been cig free for about 7-8 months. My mind isn't that burdened by nonsense. I feel good about the future. I hope to get some housework done today and have a good work shift tonight.

Thanks, A.
