its day 199.  i shouldn’t be counting the days but i am.  i’m going to find a way to celebrate tomorrow (we should all find ways to celebrate even the little things).   i try to imagine my life back then as an addict and its pretty scary.  was i really sucha slave to the cig back then?  i was, wasn’t i?  waking up, the first thing on my mind was to light up…after meals, it was my dessert only i didn’t have to leave room for it.  my philosophy was always the 3 states of matter matter:  every man deserves to endulge in good food, good drink and good smoke.  what a rotten way of thinking that was.

 


 

but am i fully recovered?  have i fully healed from the scars?  am i ready to go back home now?  i sound like i checked myself into the betty ford clinic.  even though its only been 6 months (vs 15 years), i really can’t imagine going back to the way i was.  it boggles me how i even got this far in korea, a country where most of the men here still smoke. its in my face  everyday, every hour.  knowing what i know now, i couldn’t. because it is through my newfound faith in God that empowers me now.  He has answered my prayers and that is what rejuvenates me.  through Him all things are possible.  i don’t know why i neglected You before.  i know You’re listnin’

  4. Congrats on the big 200.  Thanks for your comment on my tokkis page.  Yeah maybe I should have but you know they’re so typical out here.  They don’t really get like that out in Korea — why does it have to be such a kyopo phenomenon?
