For the "Oldbies"

It’s so easy for me to sit here behind my 10 year quit & see the insanity of smoking. I watch newbies & not so newbies making the excuses that will lead to a slip or full blown relapse. The knowing of things to come if one continues to poison their body. Knowing they’ll do it anyway even at the funeral of a friend or loved one who died from smoking. Knowing that most don’t know they have a choice. Knowing they don’t understand how it affects others or what a selfish act it is. These are all things that I didn’t understand when I began what I hope is my forever quit.

Think about it…all they really know is that they want to quit for whatever reason. They’re struggling as we once did. We can only give them the tools, the push & hopefully be that inspiration they need or say that one thing that keeps them for just one more day, hour or minute.

Keep on keepin on,

I began this quit journey on October 1, 2004. I'm not doing it for my wife or children nor in memory of the many family members or friends I have lost due to this addiction. I'm doing it for Mike.
