Don't Let Your Quit Go Soft On You (not about v**gra)

So, I woke up and was thinking about some breakfast as i was making coffee.

well, i was looking around and i spied an avocado and i saw a lemon right next to it.

the lights were flashing "avocado toast, avocado toast"

well my avocado looked absolutely fine but it was superficial.

i had not been attentive to my "cado" and it had gone past ripe.

(girls, don't tell me to throw my avocado until i've told my story)

there is a time after you've quit that you think you've got it made but it can be an illusion

your quit can appear to be protected by that knobby dark skin but can be going bad

from the inside without your even knowing it.

guard your quit like you would your avocado or you won't be quit or having avocado toast for

breakfast.

fortunately for me, after over 4 years, all i have to worry about is my cado.*

 

 

*if your cado is unruly for 4 hours or more, seek medical help immediately or squeeze some lemon juice on it.

My poor avocado trees took a hit during the ice storm, I hope they make it as I love pico de gallo with avocado!

I thought you were getting ready to talk about how you almost burned your house down again.  Good story though!  : )  Oh, by the way, the pink pad is not washed up in this town.  It does have more power to clean those unruly messes you make with your pots and pans, Carp Man!!!  Get you a box at the store when you run out of those SOS's (which, I might mention will be fast)..  : )

About the Author
Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
