So, after posting my opinion in the Pre-HOF April 16 group about nicotine and trying to find the right words to explain the way I feel about it, I may have found it.
Overcoming nicotine, to me, is not an uphill climb that eventually peaks and begins to go down hill to "easier" ground. I feel like everyday, we are faced with another hill to climb. I feel relieved when I go to bed at night knowing that I was successful quitting that day. When I wake up the next day, its a new set of challenges, it brings its own triggers, it is its own hill. Throughout the day, Ill come to a steep face in that hill that seems insurmountable but with persistence, it can be climbed. Then do it again the next day.
Thats what posting roll is all about, its like stopping at the bottom of the hill and putting your accountability tag on the board, then going on your journey up that days hill. 100 days from now, the hills may be smaller. 5 years from now, something may happen to put a larger hill in our path.
But if you wake up not prepared to climb the hill and face the days challenges, you could make a decision that youll regret.
