I had to count my DOF's today, but not because of why you think

Yes, I had to look at a calendar and count my days of freedom (DOF) today. It's only been August 27th - September 28 but I had to do the count. Why? Because I sooooooooooooooooooo wanted a cancer stick for just a flash.

N.O.P.E  Screw you, not gonna get me, have me, go *f* yourself. Count...

All good. Phew.

It came as quick as it went.

I know it's different for everyone but it's really not... we are all addicts. My desire for a smoke isn't any less a desire than yours. I acknowledge I'll be doing this for years to come if that's what it takes, I'm OK with it:

Rob me of my breath

Rob me of my life

Make me smell

Take away my muscle tone

Wrinkle my mouth

Dry out my hair and nails

Stink up my car

Rob me of kisses and hugs

Make me suicidal

N.O.P.E

I'll take what I can get now that the veil is lifted.

Thank you, God, for allowing me to see what my blessings truly are.

Cigarette, Go *F* Yourself.

I live in beautiful upstate NY. In the country. We have a huge 2 acre perrenial garden. I work in the healthcare field, specifically organ donation. I know an aweful lot about what causes death and how one comes to the end of their life - often unexpectedly. I believe in miracles and that there is good in the world. I see it every day. I've been addicted to cigarettes for over 45 years and I want to prove to myself that I can beat this addiction. I want to breathe again, I don't want to wheeze when I go to bed and I want to be able to excersize again. I miss the feeling of vitality and energy!
