Feeling the Pull and fighting back

[Ricki M]

Good job Jackie...I was reading every bit to learn from you and how you dealt with it out of the blue like that.  Awesome!!

You know what Jackie ?  I kinda reckon it like a bad relationship.  And you decided to end it.  You love what you wanted the relationship to be, how you fantasized it could be...... but it never was. 

 

And then you see him out with another girl.  And you wonder..... is he for her what I wanted him to be for me ?  And the darndest thing is all you have to do is wait.  Cause then the next time you see him.... he's with a different girl.  Another victim.

 

Then you realize..... nothings changed.  Same game just different players. 

 

You don't want to smoke.  You want what you THINK smoking offers.  But truth be told, it never really was there in the first place.  It was just something you wanted so bad that you started to believe it was.

 

Just like in a bad relationship.... it brings you no peace.  No joy.  All it really does is suck the life out of you.  And all those other people that you see with your "buddy' hanging of their mouths.... well it's the same game.  Just different victims. 

 

You're no longer a victim.
