November 2, 201510 yr Nobody owes me anything - I got myself into this mess and it's my job to get myself out. There's "truth", and then there's TRUTH. I think this is going on my fridge.
May 3, 20215 yr Lie: I am a homebody. I hate leaving the house. I would be perfectly fine never having to leave my house. Truth: I didn’t want to be the only one smoking. I didn’t want to have to sneak off and try to grab a few puffs off a cigarette. I didn’t want to have to fight and suppress the withdrawal symptoms of not being able to have a cigarette if I had to be somewhere that smoking was not allowed. Everyone probably knew the real reason why I would never go anywhere and I would lie to myself about that too. Of course they knew. 😞

I didn't want to go to concerts anymore. I didn't want to go to movie theatres anymore. As smoking bans became more ubiquitous, the list of places I lost interest in going grew longer. I knew I was ruled by my addiction. Finally figured out that I either needed to quit or risk becoming some kind of chain-smoking hermit.
