Hi all,
When I look back at the past of my many years as a smoker I wonder how could I have wasted so many good years. I lived in a constant state of denial and a behind a thick smoke screen. As taken from my buddy's blog a quote from AA is what I have been relying on.
"We are not cured of addiction. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition."
Many a night when I thought I could not make it I prayed, I relied on my spiritual faith. As quoted from the book, "Out of the Ashes,"
"When all else fails, rely on faith."
Even if some one does not believe in a higher power, there can still be faith and a spiritual condition.
Now is the time to move on with my life and focus on the now. The bad nights are decreasing in frequency now and the good ones are starting to mutiply. I'm still scared as the devil of the future but I will face that fear head on. If I can face a powerful addiction as nicotine I can face anything. Then at the same time I am all excited about my future. Hey, life can be like that some time. My grandma use to say, "if life was fun all the time it would be mighty boring."
