After 37+ years of apparently trying to fill a void with chemicals, they stopped working,(as if they ever really did work) decided it was time to try quitting. That was in the Fall of 2005, I knew it was going to be hard, but being as tough and terminally unique as I thought I was, didn't expect it to be quite so horrifying and debilitating. I have decided to look at being clean as a benefit of recovery, rather than the reason for my being in recovery. I've finally managed to work all the steps, didn't think that I'd ever do it. Everything in its own season, right? Still have some amends left to make, which is an ongoing process. One of the many things I've learned is that clean time doesn't equal recovery. That being said, I have decided to stop counting the days. Instead I am going to try and make the days count. Trying once again to quit smoking.
