Toxic Overload
Addiction is the predilection for pleasure; sometimes it’s the predilection for pain. But whatever it is it’s always issues on overload. Some...more...most an obviation of balance, an endorphin rush. Think about it if you smoked two cigarettes a day, drank one cup of coffee and a single glass of red wine at dinner, you’d find enjoyment, satisfaction and these habits wouldn’t do you any harm. So why, oh why, must the smoker prefer twenty, the drinker ten and the coffee addict eight, and OMG what if you have a hankering for all three. Well, I’d say you’re pretty much sunk, oblivion will claim you and the worst thing of all is that there’s something you can actually do about it. Stop!
Stop...yes, that’s the answer. Eliminate the temptation of greed. That’s what it comes down to, reject overindulgence.
For me, my vices are cigarettes, wine, soda drinks, crisps and people. My overwhelmingly negative addiction is people-worship, it’s unerringly unhealthy and I have no power over its influence on my life at all. I’ll discover someone’s talent I admire, and that’s, that, I’ll become stupidly over enthusiastic. Oh, well, I suppose there are far worse addictions.
On the positive side, I’m enthusiastic, hard-working and curious; I know, these traits hardly eliminate the BAD, but at least I have a few redeeming traits in my pocket.
Lord, I hear you, throw the cigarettes away, but smoking is the only thing I’ve really ever been good at in my entire life; I don’t do it well, I do it brilliantly, it’s the single shining example of excellence in my existence. Can I give it up? Yes, I can, I gave it up for five gloriously healthy years, and it was easy. Yes, easy…but, I picked it up again, and here I am a poisonous, toxic chimney of self-destruction. It’s not even funny, why would anyone poison themselves for no obvious reason.
Aims and Objectives
Candidly, I’m going to avoid people I admire, I’m going to lose my matches and lighter (that is a fairly good way to give up smoking). I’m going to allow my partner to do all the shopping...win, win...no excess. I am going to live although, I know, you thought it was tickets; no hope at all.
Cheers! Regards from the best smoker that ever lived (I heard you, now, don’t be rude. Haha ❤️🤗💕)
