Desperate Addicts Parade: Have You Ever...

This isn't something I did but something I saw yesterday morning. I have to be at work at 6:00am. I stopped at a 24 hour store on my way. The sun was just barely up at that time. I noticed a woman in the parking lot bending over and picking something up. Then I saw her put it to her mouth and light it. She was scavaging for cigarette butts! How sad! When I came out of the store she was still out there picking up butts and lighting them.
If that doesn't illustrate just how addictive nicotine is I don't know what will. I am so grateful that I am finally free from the horrible need to feed my body nicotine. I never was desperate enough to do something like this woman did but I remember looking in ashtrays (my own) and in my car, and under my furniture, etc, etc.
Kathy - I have been quit for 1 Year, 3 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days, 13 hours, 9 minutes and 20 seconds (479 days). I have saved $2,253.87 by not smoking 19,181 cigarettes. I have saved 2 Months, 5 Days, 14 hours and 25 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 03/28/2006 6:00 AM
