Enough is Enough
Greetings Steemian's,
About a month ago my oldest son walked up to me with his tablet and said:
"I want to show you something dad."
It was an advertisement for smoking cessation.
I replied:
"Why are you showing me this?"
He responded:
"Because I don't want you to die, and I want to help you quit smoking."
If anyone has experienced their child saying this, or something similar to them, regarding their smoking habit, then you understand what this does to a parent.
Every time I have lit up a smoke in the past month, I think about the impact my smoking has had on him, and it is not easy for me to digest. I've grown to hate this habit over the years, and this was enough, for me to say "enough is enough."
I quit smoking pot a month ago, not so much for the health implications, but because it's expensive, but of course, smoking a pack a day , and adding a few grams of pot to the mix, is certainly not healthy, and I was feeling the effects quite substantially.
I've also made some diet changes, and kept at it with support from friends like 
I was chatting with another friend on discord, (who's name I won't mention out of respect) and he really helped me with some perspective. So a huge thanks to him as well. futuremind is quite a stubborn bull sometimes, but the Aries cusp in me does help with recognizing sound logic.
Can't argue with that logic!
So..
I quit!
I want to be here for my children.
I don't want to be another statistic.
I've quit before, and I can do it again!
Today marks the start of another new life choice, which has a positive impact on me, and my children!
Much love,
Get some good karma into your life, vote good-karma for witness!
Please consider voting helpie for witness
