I stopped smoking… Not really. Every year during holy week I always stop smoking. This is my sacrifice. It might not be something really big to consider but for a smoker like me, it really is.
I have been doing this for years and somehow it helped me overcome my need (really?) and craving for nicotine. It helped me eat more healthily thus gain weight (as needed) and to breathe fresh air yet again. This year, I went with a friend to their home province so I can experience another traditional way of celebrating Holy week. It wasn’t really that different at all, but decorating St. Martha definitely helped me take my mind off of smoking. I took pictures of almost everything, from the preparation, procession, places, food, people and Church. I saw how wonderful and beautiful it was to be out of the city yet again. I considered that every time I think about cigarettes, I should think of the lessening air pollution instead. It was really helpful thinking that I actually have other activities other than burning my lungs out. It was fun and yes, healthier indeed.
Then holy week’s over. ‘No Smoking’ sign has been switched off and I can go back to my vice. I did. Though I know this time, I can lessen it further and eventually get it out of my system. It will happen and I believe it will be really soon.
No Smoking sign will then be lit forever and I will live longer. Healthier. More earth-friendly. Then I guess I have to think of a different sacrifice before the next holy week. 🙂
