I loved smoking cigs more than life itself 🚬
Got up to 2 packs a day during my 20 year adventure with ni****ne and dopamine hits!
Lit up 🔥 every time I would close a deal, order a meal, finish a meal, hear a song I loved, start the car, park the car, before yoga class, after yoga class, with a drink, without one…you name it!
No shame.
Every thought and action revolved around when I could get my next hit.
12 years ago yesterday, 8-17-14, I did the thing.
I gave it up. Cold turkey baby! 🦃
Funny thing about it all…
The hardest part was deciding.
If you’re sitting on the edge and wondering about how, who, when, what and where…stop with all that nonsense.
Just decide. Or not.
Damn I feel good about my decision.
Bought myself a sistrum (sacred instrument from ancient Egypt) to celebrate my anniversary and the ability to listen from within.
It’s noisy out there.
Go deep within for all of your answers.
