Brief Moment of Clarity
So as I've said before, I have a family friend staying with us for the next few days. She, of course, is a smoker. Me, well, I'm 19 days into my quit.This morning...she's blocking my car so I can't get into work without getting her to move her truck. So I wake her up & prod her out the door to move her vehicle.Now, I'm in Manitoba, and its Winter here now. This morning...-39C (about -38F). So here I am,smoking cessation, in my garage, waiting for her to move her truck so I can go to work...When she lights up a smoke. Outside of her truck. Waiting for the thing to warm up slightly as I'm waiting for her to get the @#$% out of my way. And all the time I'm sitting there thinking what a bloody moron she is for standing there in PJ's in the freezing cold to get her nic fix,Herbal cigarettes, while not even remotely thinking of or caring about anyone or anything else but the nic fix.Then I realized that I used to be that person. I used to not give a crap about anyone else's needs when I was needing a nic fix. And I realized that I've been a bloody idiot for 19 years of smoking, and how incredibly wonderful it is to now be free of the nicodemon's chains.What a great day for me, and I had to share SammyI have been free of intentionally inhaling dangerous chemicals and addictive poisons for 2 Weeks, 5 Days, 18 hours and 33 minutes (19 days). I have avoided using 296 nicotine delivery devices, giving me an extra $124.56 to enjoy 1 Day and 40 minutes of life I would not have had.
