Have you ever...
Smoked until one hour before giving birth, having your husband walk you from maternity to emergency (smoking area in the bad old days) and stopping to lean against the wall if a contraction hit in between places?
I have. I'm an addict....
Made your final choice when purchasing a home on the basis that the house you chose was located two doors away from a 24 hour gas station that sells cigarettes?
I have. I'm an addict...
Thrown a butt out the open car window on a highway, gone into a store five minutes later and had a sales clerk point out that your purse was on fire?
I have. I'm an addict...
And I've done many, many more things which embarass, shame or astound me when I think about it from the saner perspective of a recovering addict.
