Have you ever
"asked for the short" from someone you hardly know (the short being the part that he doesn't smoke)? I did this about 3 or 4 years ago when I was in a situation when I was homeless for several weeks
because I am an addict!
Have you ever
found yourself in a strange city with 6 cigarettes and $10 to your name with no food and no money for 2 days and spent a goodly portion of your remaining money on a pack of smokes?
I have because I am an addict!
Have you ever
picked up unsmoked cigarettes from the ground/parking lot/street, brushed them off and smoked them?
I have because I am an addict!
Have you ever
walked up to perfect strangers on the street and bummed a cigarette?
I have because I am an addict!
And there are many other examples of my addictive behavior I could name but all I can say tonight is
THANK YOU GOD for showing me a BETTER WAY!!!!
Thanks for bringing this thread back to the top. While I am not proud of any othe examples I gave or did not give, today I know that I have a recovery plan that says that I will not smoke today.
yqb, David Four weeks, 11 hours, 26 minutes and 3 seconds. 512 cigarettes not smoked, saving $38.44. Life saved: 1 day, 18 hours, 40 minutes.
