October 22, 201510 yr This morning as I was driving to work I thought about that stupid excuse I used about some BS about needing something to do with my hands.....what the heck kind of BS is that? What to do with the hands?? Well...if your driving..how about just driving? Why do you need something else to do with your hands? They are plenty busy. It truly amazes me...the lies we told over and over and were totally convinced they were true! Tell me more lies......and expose why they are lies...GO!
October 22, 201510 yr LIE: "I'm not me without my cigarettes...they are a part of my identity." NOT! TRUTH: I am MORE ME, I am FINALLY ME, without cigarettes. LIE: "I don't have enough crutches. After all, I quit drinking! I deserve this one." NOT! TRUTH: How about sweets, exercise, sex, coffee and delicious foods?? That's more than enough. LIE: "I can't function in my daily life with all this crying, moaning and yelling." NOT! TRUTH: I can function. Those around me will just have to accept me for who I am at this moment. This too shall pass.
October 22, 201510 yr I work hard enough....it's my only pleasure.... LIE.... Yes I worked hard......but my only pleasure ? I don't think so.....my life now is much more pleasurable.... I spent all of my adult life under a black cloud....of lies and deceit....
October 22, 201510 yr I could never drink alcohol without smoking or eat dinner..... Why not? The wine tastes soooo much better these days and food!!
October 22, 201510 yr 'I don't smoke that many', 'I don't spend that much on smoking' were 2 of mine... I tell you what, even so, it still bloody adds up quick - I just need to look at my ticker to see how many 'not many' would have been in the last 2 years. 1 cigarette is too many! :good:
October 22, 201510 yr Only thing I'm left wirh without cigs is a mint in my mouth on regular basis, no smoking, 2 meds you crave food fromi just suckle on mints.
