Reality check on day 57

Just realizing how much nicotine had clouded my thinking.  No it did not make me fall down drunk like an alcoholic. Nor did it make me nod out like a herion addict  But it did make me act like an addict. lose my train of thought, thinking about when and where I would get my next fix. Not really caring about the cost...burning my money. I really can't think of anything good about smoking cigarettes. 

As organized as I thought I was, I realize today how much more organized I can be.  As much of a clean freak as I am, i realize how cigarettes made my life dirtier .(ashes, butts, burns, odor and on and on and on)

The major life goals that I had previously set and never met are now on the horizon.  I can sing!!! I can see clearer the smoke is gone.  All of the smoke clouds have drift away.  It's gonna be a bright, bright sun shiny day.  look all around nothing but blue skys.  Look straight ahead nothing but blue skys. Yeah! My focus is in a more productive.  Yes I know I still have a long way to go.  But there is light at the end of this tunnel.  The scales have been removed from my eyes.  I can shout for joy and really mean it from the bottom of my soul.

Hallejah and stomping my feet.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lay aside every weight that may be slowing you down. Make up your mind not to allow doubt cause you to stumble. You can do this! Do not allow fear , False Expectations Appearing Real to hold you down. You can do this! Break the chains of addiction, forgive yourself for ever smoking. move forward and start loving yourself more each day by staying smokefree. Put aside worry, anxiety, depression, any EXcuse that you would use to not get in or stay in the race of freedom. Take one day at a time, one step if necessary. Run the race diligently, steady and sure with endurance. Believe that you can. Keep your eye on the prize. Hang tough, stay close, be mindful, never give in, never give up.
