The Poison Foundation

As nicotine addicts we all have laid the “poison foundation” upon which we have suffered greatly. We suffered loss; loss of time, money and self-dignity. Our soul was lost to a finely ground toxin of perfect addiction.
We also suffered guilt, and that guilt ran deep in that poison foundation. Guilt for what we were doing to ourselves with every pinch, dip or pouch. Knowing that every lip stuffed was setting that foundation further and entrenching that venom into our psyche.

That foundation paralyzed you..lied and mentally controlled you… isolated and started the inevitable decay of who we really are. And while the toxic base that nicotine has planted in your brain looks as strong as a concrete prison from head on, it really has more in common with the paper thin set of a movie western when you look behind the curtains.

This armory of lies crumbles under the force of QUIT. Like a cockroach it hides when the light is aimed at it and the truth is realized. After the suck and the fog have been lifted from that foundation, you see it for what it truly is, weak, delapid and frail.

And as the QUIT starts to flow like water it erodes and denudes the tendrils of nicotine and washes the poison away. But be forewarned… the scars left behind run as deep as the original footing and serve as scaffolding for that nicotine foundation, if we allow the QUIT to stop. Never let down your guard!
