I just wanted to pat myself on the back, since I have made three months smoke free.
Ironically, it was not as difficult since I prepared myself by reading many of these online resources, and wrapped my mind around my addiction. Realizing
how silly and stupid were my fears, doubt was overcome and true freedom began.
Now, I look at those others - people who smoke. Some of them I used to go downstairs with ready to feed my addiction and wanted to continue this lifestyle
no matter how much I hurt, no matter how many people resented it, no matter what the consequences.
This is the depth of an addiction.
I am SO glad to be on the way to recovery. Each day becomes so much better because I no longer put solvents in my body, chemicals which are designed to
cause cancer, I no longer inhale smoke which will decrease oxygen in my blood, and I no longer cut off my circulation which increase other levels of pain
throughout my body.
Yes, as Mel Gibson once said in Braveheart:
"FREEDOM!"
