on my own first diary post i put some of these up, not knowing such a string existed because i had to own up to my own shame at these behaviors. i'll add a couple more here i hadn't thought about until reading...
Have you ever told someone who never smoked you only smoke 9 a day (lied...more like 12), received a horrified facial response from them, and rationalized that they just don't know that is not so bad because they don't smoke?
Have you ever purchased organic shampoo, conditioner, soap, cleaning products, food, and looked into how safe your local tap water was all in an effort to get rid of excess chemicals, and yet continued to pollute the number one detoxifying sytem in your body with 3000+ chemicals on a daily basis?
Have you ever watched yourself smoke an entire cigarette in the mirror in an effort to "see" what you were doing to yourself unconsciously all the time?
Have you ever understood to some extent why/how someone could turn into an alcoholic, self-cutter, bulimic, over-eater, sex addict or drug addict, because you understand what it is like to chase a serotonin high, and you recognize that your path of choice was nicotine?
I have because I'm was an irrational, self-deceiving addict. Now I'm a see the truth addict.
Alex
