Good morning EXers.....
I know that it has been a long time since I have consistently blogged about this journey in life that we ex smokers commonly refer to as a quit. Truth be know....I'm actually clueless, and for the most part very immature and extremely self serving when it comes to putting up any level of truth about myself, or my lack of resolve to do anything that is remotely considered to be difficult. I mean after all....I am human, and I am inclined to take the path of least resistance as a rule....
In years past, that path of least resistance was muddled. While I was thinking that it was easier to just continue on smoking and ruining my body (since that is what I had been doing all along anyway.....), then I would not spend much time contemplating on the upsides to smoking cessation. All one needs to to is take a look at my original profile, and the first time that I started coming around here...then you can easily see how the demonic traits of denial have plagued me for years.....
I'll prbably do a pretty crappy job of explaining myself, but I will make an attempt nonetheless.....Firstly, I make no claim to having "any" degreee of common sense. I am an idiot when it comes to self preservation....Secondly, even though I just recently underwent open-heart surgery, and travelled some pretty wild astral plains while I was under....I am NOT divinely inspired....lol. (If anything, I am scared that if I don't take heed to some real life common sense approaches to good and practical healthy living....well friends...."I'm screwed"....
So on that note....I think that this is a pretty good opportunity to take a pause and to reflect on just how miraculous it is to have acquired 15 days of continual, no slips, no desires, and no "doubts" as to why that I am venturing out into this new horizon of "smobriety"....My heart goes out to any and all that have not found that comfortable God knows, that I have been up and down this quit journey....and hopefully, with Gods grace....I will be able to continue to stay on point here.
Enjoy your smokefree day.....
