Still learning

0 6 12

In my quiet time my mind tells me things that I did not recognize when I was a smoker. For years my brain told me that I was hungry or thirsty and I would smoke a cigarette. After the meal I smoked. For years my brain said I was tired ....I smoked. Relaxed...smoked. Bored...smoked. Lonely....smoked. Worried Angry ....smoked. Frustrated...smoked. Excited ...Happy smoked.

How in the world could a cigarette satisfied so many different emotions?

Answer: an illusion, a lie, a addiction.

I am learning to deal with all of these emotions without a cigarette. Yay! 138 days of FREEDOM'
