Today makes 28 days. Last night was pure hell, I want to Thank Evil_won, and Wade, for keeping me off the ledge.
So I started my afternoon with a golf game, friend I played with is a smoker, no big deal never been in cigs, so did not bother me.
After golf, I decide to hit the gym, while at the gym, I rolled my ankle. I knew it was going to swell so I high tailed it home for some ice treatment.
Now let me say this, I am a mans man, in a non homo way. I fight, used to anyway, I like to volunteer at friends bars on occasion to be a bouncer. I have been stabbed, and shot at. I have had my ass kicked and kicked a lot of ass. Every bit of pain I have gone through in my life, I have gone through with a big fat lip.
So, as I sit last night, with my ankle swelling like I am packing a grapefruit, she whispers.......You know, that I could take the edge off this. I push her back, I have this under control. She whispers again, every time in your life you have been in pain, I have been here for you, I am here now, let me help.
At this point in time, I am hit with a crave that I cant even tell you the magnitude. This is the point where I am glad I was not a ninja dipper, and it made me actually think, if I had any hiding places. I know I don't so I was covered and I could not drive with my foot anyway so my quit was never in Jeopardy.
So the relentless bitch, makes one last attempt, at me, and she cracks me mentally. A tear rolls down my face, I wipe that shit off, and think what the fuck, I don't cry. Then another tear, and pretty soon my ass is crying like a baby. While the nic whore, is watching and laughing at me and my resolve. Or lack there of it that ,my only option was to cry. I reached out to my fellow quitters, I was able to get back on the track.
I still cant believe she got me to cry, but she did not win. I won, as I said yesterday in a tear and rage fueled post, I have beat bigger foes than you, you will not win.
Here is to you you ruthless bitch, I am still quit 'Finger'
