Drinking and Quitting - A Haiku

No alcohol with your quit

You might lose it, then

You can only say "Oh, d@mn!"

This site is littered with tales of folks who drank alcohol and thought just one would be fine.  It NEVER is going to be just one when you are an addict.  It will always, maybe not right away but always, lead to another and another until you are a full-blown smoker again.  It's the nature of this addiction.

Please don't chance it this weekend as you unwind.  A quit is a terrible thing to lose.

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.
