Stories & experiences

I like this.....so very true!
Not giving in makes me feel great, gives me back my control which makes me happy.

Let’s think about it in a different way.

If someone put a gun at you head and told you if you smoke right now they would shoot you in the head. I bet not one of us out there would spark up.
But that’s exactly what we are doing every time we give into a craving
only differences is a gun is nice enough to kill you straight away, a cigarette robs you of your cash, sucks the joy from your life, then finally kills you very very slowly and painfully. So why would we ever want to go back to that

When you put it that way, makes you wonder why anyone does it at all! A terrible thing to be doing to ourselves. We are surely worth a lot more than that. Makes me also wonder what possessed me this afternoon to be thinking how much I use to enjoy it. I was trying to sort out my shed & I just kept imagining myself having a break, sitting back feeling so relieved to be puffing away, how relaxing it would be I thought, but I quickly came to my senses. I can't get over the mind bending insanity of it all!!
