I had a debate last night with Ol' Nic. He seems to think I am wasting my time quitting the smoking materials.
"Why bother quitting now? Your heart is failing. Your lungs are full of holes and the air sacs are stretched out from smoking so long. You have things growing in and on your lungs. I mean, really!!!! Why bother now?" he threw out to me.
I replied, "I have already given myself the chance to live 72 days longer than I most likely would have. Yes, I do have problems moving air. It is moving though! Yes my heart is damaged and weak. It still pumps my blood though. The longer I am without you in my life, the more days I might extend my life."
He tried several other arguments, and I knocked each of them down with the same ease.
I finally told him the debate was over and walked away. His empty words and threats rolled off my back with no effect at all.
I just kept walking until his voice faded into the silence of nothingness.
Will you win your debate with Nic?
I know you can.
One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.
