Reversing falls Weskeag River  s. thomaston  Pintrest.jpg

Reversing Falls on the Weskeag River in South Thomaston, Maine the photo was on Pintrest.  The "falls" are caused by the changes in tides, it happens all up and down the coast it's just shows up more in certain places.

You'll need to edit this information as you read, just change AA into Smoking and a few other words too.  Now you know where I get a lot of stuff from.

What a load wasting money puts on your shoulders! They say that members of AA have paid the highest initiation fee of any club members in the world, because we’ve wasted so much money on liquor. We’ll never be able to figure out how much it was. We not only wasted our own money, but also the money we should have spent on our families. When you come into AA, that terrible load of wasted money falls off your shoulders. We alcoholics were getting round-shouldered from carrying all those loads that drinking put on our shoulders. But when we come into AA, we get a wonderful feeling of release and freedom. Can I throw back my shoulders and look the whole world in the face again?

From: Twenty Four Hours a Day.....

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

I quit on October 25, 2013, it was the best decision I ever made (or, one of them). I smoked for over 50 years and quit Cold Turkey. My most useful tool is gratitude, you can borrow some from me.
