101 Reasons and Ways To Quit

I use to quit the pain and hurting To be normal and belong to feel as though i understand myself to escape and yet its a cycle of more problems feeding the beast of addiction no one ever writes about the reasons to quit or how just the pain never the great feeling of the accomplishment of the satisfaction of stopping always hurry up to wait but what about the feeling of not lighting that cigarette sure you cried for a fix but you didnt cave in and everyone patted you on the back and you did it yourself something no one else could and its a mountain of achievement thats why they call hard rock climbing no safe footsteps when you feel you have no real friends and your cheating your own life for death 101 ways to quit 101 reasons to live 101 ways to start again it doesnt take 100 it takes 1 just one even if you are a hippocrit to yourself at first build on that and never give in i may never know the pain of losing my only child i may never know the heartache of many apples and oranges and the pity parties masquerading as celebratory doctarates we all throw in addiction but the pain of needing and wanting of being an addict the treasure of overcoming is something to notice when we just say no Just for today for tomorrow to get back to how it was yesterday the person i was before everything changed and i made that mistake eventually i will find my strength 101 reasons to save myself 101 reasons to quit this drug or addiction when 1 is all it takes and so what if everyday that reason changes or stays the same so what if its selfless or selfish its for me i choose to be sober and no go down the road of temptation where i know many have been led astray and the doors ive knocked already
