The Naked Truth!

As I celebrate Day 80 Smoke FREE I'm thinking about the fact that we are Nicotine Junkies and that means that we don't have the option to smoke even one puff EVER! It's not O.K. to say "Well, I'll TRY to quit and with LUCK I might quit! I have to make an unwavering commitment - a decision that SMOKING IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME! I have to defend my quit as if my life depends on it because IT DOES! I'm not able to say "Oh everybody slips! If I slip it will be O.K. I'll just try again(....and again and again) NO! I QUIT! Today I will NOT Smoke because I HONOR MY WORD and RESPECT MYSELF! If that sounds harsh - well, what can I say?  I'm NOT mean I've just been down that road too many times and it's a dead end!  If you keep doing the same thing then you keep getting the same results and I CHOOSE to have different results in my life! I choose to QUIT FOR LIFE and FREEDOM! Freedom from addiction, freedom to live and breathe healthily and abundantly -  not as a junkie!  No matter how you pretty it up - THAT'S THE TRUTH! N.O.P.E. Not One Puff Ever NO MATTER WHAT each and every day!
