I loved smoking cigs more than life itself š¬
Got up to 2 packs a day during my 20 year adventure with ni****ne and dopamine hits!
Lit up š„ 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 oneā¦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! š¦
Funny thing about it allā¦
The hardest part was deciding.
If youāre sitting on the edge and wondering about how, who, when, what and whereā¦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.
Itās noisy out there.
Go deep within for all of your answers.
