Forever Vigilant

I came out on my newly set up front porch with its canvas awnings, plants, table and chairs, rocking chairs,  wreath and other decorations this morning.  As I sipped my coffee, started up my computer and watched the squirrels eat the wild mushrooms in my yard from the wet spring  - it hit me - "gee, a cigarette would be nice right now.!" 

REALLY?  Almost five years and the thoughts are STILL there?  Just thoughts ---- but REALLY?!! Easy to dismiss, but there nonetheless.

Stay vigilant, my friends!  This addiction can be a killer!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
