Nicotine dependency recovery can be our greatest personal awakening ever. Imagine destroying needless quitting fears by understanding them, and thus being able to better notice and savor the beauty about to unfold before you.
No longer afraid, imagine noticing your breathing improve and the richness sensed by rapidly healing taste-buds. Imagine discovering that white flour and rain drops have smell, while moving into a clean ash-free world where the oil on your skin isn't tar's but yours. Imagine the return of self respect, of being home and residing here on Easy Street with hundreds of millions of comfortable ex-users, of knowing it's a keeper, and never having to quit again.
