ADDICTION IS UGLY

This is a thread to be brave and face the ugly truth of our addiction. Truth is reality, is it not? No sugar-coating, no making excuses, just straight out telling on the evil junkie that we all have as a part of us. We can't be afraid of that part of us, we have to get to know the junkie within us and face it head on and let it know that we are on to it and will not let it beat us up anymore. Be courageous and put the truth in writing b/c it will take the power out of the junkie.

For me addiction is nothing to toy with. I have to put it out there like it realistically is b/c if I'm not real about it, I can't stay on top of it. Addiction is ugly and I'm not afraid to face it & can't be if I truly want to be smoke-free. If I didn't remember how nasty those poison's really tasted and how badly they smelled consuming all of my body and my surroundings or how they made me feel so bad about myself and ashamed of not quitting or starting to begin with, and my terrible cough and the bad breath and having a hard time breathing and a hard time catching my breath, and the fact that I knew I was taking time off my life with each drag I sucked into my precious body,,,,,then I wouldn't have a reason to quit. Seeing someone smoke is an ugly, sad site to see. If I don't face what I'm afraid of, how can I win against it? I have to see it all for what it really is if I want to stay smoke-free. Death from smoking is not pretty.
