Here today, gone tomorrow
As I walk pass the smoking area outside the building where I work, I now walk as an observer not a participator. I use to do that, smoke that is. I say, I use to do that. I was one of the puffers. The puffers don�t really seem like they are enjoying those sickarettes, as PrincessC referred to them, much at all. I wonder how often they think about quitting. I�ve seen some of the same faces out there over the past several years.
Time flies and the smoking continues and continues and continues. When is the stopping point? For some or many, it is illness or the threat of becoming ill that�s the stopping point. And we put our lives on the line for what? To be granted the opportunity to squander our hard earned money on a killer, my killer. Here, let me give you some money so that you can ruin or destroy my health. Here, please go ahead take it and help me.
Makes sense doesn�t it? It is an addiction after all and addictions do rule the roost.
You say rule the roost? I don�t believe it. You have the power and control over your actions. Maybe you just need a little practice; you have gotten rusty, out of sorts, out of touch or given up. Recognize the addition and develop your plan to counter it. Think �I know I can� and think �yes I can�. Grow your confidence by the hour, by the day.
I�m here today and who knows by tomorrow, I may not be thinking about quitting again for perhaps several years. Grab it while you are thinking about it. Make it your time, make it stick, make it work. Envision the future, you without a cigarette, dream it, think it, feel it, watch it come true, watch it be you!
Enjoy your weekend
