My daughter Mandy didn't go to work last night, so she could go to a funeral today without being exhausted from working all. Mason will be here around noon and spend the night, I'll take him home around three or so tommorrow, then set the alarm clock for the rest of the week. I slept in until almost 8: 30 this morning, I guess I needed the extra sleep. I can't think of much to say other than chin up take each day as it comes and let's be thankful for everything that we have, there's so much in our lives that we have no control over but we do have complete control over whether we smoke or relapse and in my opinion at least in my life right from the night before I actually quit to right now over two years later, I said to myself, right out loud that I would never pick up another cigarette as long as I live and I never have and Lord willing never will, this my friends works or at least it does for me, I struggled just like anyone else in the first few months but I am really stubborn when I set my mind to something and I wanted to be done with the cancer sticks and I finally wised up and realized that I wasn't invincible and I know that everyone dies at some point but I had and have complete control over whether I smoke or not and I choose not and hopefully now I have a chance of not dying a slow painful death that's most likely smoking related hooked up to an oxygen machine, breathing is essential to living ,there's life after cigarettes and it's super fantastic so keep stacking up your precious smoke free days because believe it or not it's definitely worth it and life does get better and better without the crutch but it takes time.
