TO FIND THE PLACES OF BEAUTY WE MAY NOT IMMEDIATELY KNOW ARE AHEAD! DON'T GIVE UP BEFORE YOU FIND A DREAM LIKE THIS!

I Pledge Not To Smoke Today or Tonight and I Extend My Smoke Free Hand of Support to The Next In Line

I Pledge No Excuses to Smoke For Me Today
I know that NO EXCUSE TO SMOKE IS EVER VALID!
I know that any memories I may have about smoking being MY FRIEND, MY COMFORT, MY STRESS RELIEF, MY RELAXATION, MY ESCAPE, OR ANYTHING POSITIVE ARE NOTHING BUT LIES!
WHEN MY MIND TELLS ME THAT I AM SUFFERING BECAUSE I QUIT SMOKING I WILL KNOW THAT IS A LIE FROM A JUNKIE TRYING TO KEEP USING!
THE TRUTH IS THAT I AM NOT SUFFERING!
IN FACT I AM HEALING FROM THE TRUE SUFFERING THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WHILE ACTIVELY ADDICTED TO NICOTINE!
I ONLY THOUGHT I WAS ENJOYING MYSELF BECAUSE OF CHEMISTRY NOT REALITY!
I know that if I take ONE PUFF IT WILL BE FOLLOWED WITH ONE PACK, WILL BE ONE CARTON, AND FROM THAT POINT ON I WILL BE RIGHT WHERE I STARTED FROM, AN ADDICT THAT USES!
I Pledge, if I do think about cigarettes today, I will think of the most horrific effects of smoking because there is no pleasure in killing myself.
So the picture I will think of will be of CANCER, PAIN, RADIATION TREATMENTS, HAVING A LUNG REMOVED, A SLOW HORRIBLE DEATH, HORRIBLE SUFFERING AND MOMENTS OF TERROR, MY LOVED ONES CRYING AT MY FUNERAL, THE COLD GROUND AND DEATH.

I pledge that I will remain committed to myself and this QUIT so that I will allow myself enough time to find out how GREAT LIFE ACTUALLY CAN BE AS AN EX-SMOKER.

Since I am planning on a smoke free day I extend my great smelling hands of support and strength to the next person in line...........

When I tell you all that my soul flies, that my spirit is lifted up, look at the DEEP meaning in the photo's above. I make it a point to travel to these places and though I am not the photographer of the above shots I have countless visions within my memories and dreams that rival these and beyond. That is how it FEELS to me when I say, TODAY, I WILL NOT SMOKE, I SWEAR IT, BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE AS MANY MORE OF THESE AS I CAN, BECAUSE I WANT TO SHOW MY LITTLE GIRL THE SUPREME BEAUTY THERE IS TO BEHOLD AND EXPERIENCE. And I EXtend my hands and strength to the nEXt two to start a chain in both directions. Jump in here and join me please. Pledge your own FREEDOM and walk the path.......there is a beautiful vision just up ahead......over that next rise.......I PROMISE!
