Here we all are. Feeling like $hit, but with
the same common goal, which is not to smoke anymore
It is an attainable goal, but will take a huge
amount of determination, dedication and hard
work. It has been, and will continue to be painful as we move forward. 
Our brain tells us that we will feel better,
and things will be normal if we start smoking
again.

We call bull$hit on the brain.
We will not feel better.
We will be broke.
We will smell.
We will be losers by societies standards.
Will will get sick, maybe not right away, but
some day in the future.

So we choose every morning not to smoke. We
choose not to "feel good" again. We have been told that we will feel better for not smoking and are waiting for it to feel good, but that is not today. Maybe tomorrow.
It is going to take a lot of hard work today
to get through. Humans don't like work. We
are lazy by nature.

Now we have to work hard at feeling bad. That
gives the brain more ammunition to tell us how
to "feel good", just go ahead and smoke.

We will not feel better.
We will be broke.
We will smell.
We will be losers by societies standards.
Will will get sick, maybe not right away, but
some day in the future.

We call bull$hit on the brain.

We need to keep the determination to be free
from the weed and what it did to our brain.

We need to embrace the pain.
We will not smoke today and will feel bad for
that choice.
It is a good thing not to be yourself.
For now.....

Think about how you will benefit tomorrow from
your choice today, to feel bad.
Not about how you were, but how you will be.
Work towards being who you want to be, not who you were.
Go forward not back.
Feel good about feeling bad.

Tomorrow may be the day we feel good again.
