Reciprocity

^^^ I've actually heard of ling I thought the looked like a big catfish? Maybe not!

My lawn actually looks better than that Pig's lawn ?

So, now that I have your attention (maybe); I just wanted to tell you that today I had to mow my lawn now that the snow has stopped and the rains have started. So, what's the big deal? Last year when this happened, I felt really uncomfortable after I had finished this chore. Looking back 2 years, I would have finished mowing then gone into the house to grab a cold one, head out to the back deck and wet my whistle while lighting up a cigarette and admiring the great job I had done. Rewards!! Season has changed and now I'm doing different chores. No one is paying me to do this stuff so what's the reward? Well, it's a cold beer and a cigarette. Or, at least it was 2 years ago and before then too Last year - my first year not smoking; this was a bit uncomfortable. I had my cold beer on the deck but I didn't have my trusty cigarette. I remember I couldn't even sit there on my deck last year. I had to walk around and distract myself in what ever manner I could. It felt pretty unsettling I must admit but I had to make myself get through it. So here's the good news! This year, NO PROBLEM!! Not even a thought about smoking a cigarette after mowing the lawn. So you see, if you just keep true to your self commitment of never taking another puff and get past that full year smoke-free, then you will end up where I am. Comfortable with not smoking with those seasonal changes The rewards are there waiting for you. All you have to do is take smoking off the table and kick it the hell out of you life for good!!

I love fishing with a fly rod!!!! Everything you catch feels like a real fight to land it. Ha, ha, I never heard of that fish either. Sounds odd from your description. A shark looking fish with long whiskers ?

I'm calling the cops .... we need an audit!

I guess he didn't have anything left in him after all ? Too bad because he was rock solid for a few years in Toronto. He didn't gain any friends in Texas after the "bat-flip" incident tho The fall from glory is pretty fast in pro sports though ....... man oh man!!

You pretty much nailed it lml Hopefully others starting out will read this too because as you point out, realizing you are an addict and NOT in control is important to gaining that control back. And it is possible to get the control back. Takes time, patience and rewiring your brain is all. Everyone who adheres to the NOPE principal will get there in time.
