My son Zane Alexander Rose turned 3 years old on December 20th 2017. I decided on his birthday that its time to quit smoking once and for all. I've only been smoking for 6 months since the last time I had quit, which was 6 moths before he was born. So I was able to stop for the last three years more or less. It's just time to stop wasting my money and time on cigarettes.
I want to grow old and be able to keep up with my son as long as I can. As it is by the time he's eighteen I'll be fifty. So i'm going to need every bit of energy I can muster to keep up. I love my son more than anything and I've seen my own dad struggle with addiction like cigarettes and alcohol my entire life. It's not pretty later in life when you've abused your body to the point of no return. I don't want to be that when I get older. I want to age like Patrick Stewart.
So I vow from now on, to no longer make excuses for myself and my addictions. I'm going to do not only what is best for me, but what is best for my son. He deserves to see me live a long life. I want to be the mentor he needs to be successful and healthy throughout his lifetime. I want to be able to celebrate many birthdays with him as long as I can.
Much love everyone. Thanks for reading. Feel free to check out my artwork on my blog. I look forward to living a long life and Steeming it up for a very long time.
