2 Second thought

[gramX2]

 I was emptying the wastebaskets in my office today and someone had thrown out a couple of cigarettes. As I was getting ready to dump it, I actually thought about taking those cigarettes out of the trash. Two seconds, my brain was yelling take em', take em', fortunately the other side of my brain, said that's disgusting , why would you even think of taking something out of the garbage and put it in your mouth-GROSS! That is the power of addiction and I am learning that everyday. And everyday, I continue to say NOPE, one day at a time.

Congrats on a good decision.  That fleeting second is all it takes.  Those successes make us stronger and prepare us future challenges.

I call what you experienced a few seconds of grace.  The addiction is all powerful.  We always have a choice.  It will always be a choice.  Continue to Choose Correctly.  Wow, that is a blog title.  lol  inside joke.  Good job.

Isn't it amazing how strong that pull is?  Addiction is relentless!  But I'm so glad you are, too.
