imageWelcome Rob to your 9th day of healing!   After 28 years it's due.   Amazing how once we jump in knowledge's pool that those next few minutes become do-able.  What's still hard for me to accept is that I fought so long and so hard to break free yet never once sought understanding as to why each attempt ended in failure.   I keep thinking I should have been smarter than that but I guess not.  Like a billion others, the want for that next fix, fueled by conditioning and years of old replenishment memories, was my primary decision making force and focus. 

We often hear that knowledge is power, Rob, but this is the most vivid example I've ever known.  We hope it benefits and comforts you during this temporary journey of readjustment as much as it has us.  Be proud of what you've done as you've come far.  Still just one rule that determines on which side of dependency's bars we'll spend the balance of life,  no nicotine just one hour, challenge and day at a time!

Breathe deep, hug hard, live long,

John (Gold x11)
