I would clean the car..but.

I will mop the floor.. but.

I will work on my addiction...but.

I will learn something new..but.

I will not put off til tomorrow..but.

I would show my love..but

I make it a practice to not add any buts to what I work on. Adding buts puts conditions to a situation. There cannot be any buts. Not adding buts makes me stronger to accomplish things. It helps me to make a decision and stick to it. NO BUTS!

Yesterday I gave into my addiction. The urge was too strong. I felt weak. Even though I gave in, I managed to go longer without it. That gives me hope.

When I quit smoking I quit many times and failed. I kept at it and the last time I smoked was at least 16 years ago.. I quit eating food when I got up. At first was hard. Now I eat at a certain time.

Life is good. Things are changing. My attitude towards how I deal with life is getting a "shake up."

I let too much time pass by with nothing done. "the hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when to stop."

Its difficult for me to end to what I write. I don't wanna put all my eggs in one basket. I wanna end on a positive note.

Have a good day all!

Keep your feet on the ground, the sun on your face and the wind at your back. Live, love, laugh, learn, listen, David

Hey Dave,

I try not to say but that much either because it negates what I say before it. It's good to hear that you are getting better with your addiction. I'm sure you're strong willed - you quit smoking and drinking among other things. I almost gave into my addiction this weekend but I was able to hold off, I came real close though.

Hi Dave,

Sorry I did not get a chance to write any sooner. I was at an all-day event yesterday pitching my memoir to two literary agents.

Remember one of the four agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz: "Always do your best." Your best will change from day to day. However, as long as you do your best that is all you can do. I am sure you are doing your best at this moment in time to work on your addiction. Your courage to confront what's going on head-on is inspiring.

It will take time. These things take time. I support you in what you're going through and I hope you are easy on yourself as you begin to make these changes.

Have a good day.

Regards,

Christina
