I admit I'm addicted to cigarettes - and I'm having a hella time trying to quit permanently.

I relapse.

It's hard to quit.

I can't imagine the struggle of a drug addiction.

So I googled..... "What makes drugs addictive."

The following is from ...

What Is drug addiction?

Addiction is a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking and use that is compulsive, or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences. The initial decision to take drugs is voluntary for most people, but repeated drug use can lead to brain changes that challenge an addicted person’s self-control and interfere with their ability to resist intense urges to take drugs. These brain changes can be persistent, which is why drug addiction is considered a "relapsing" disease—people in recovery from drug use disorders are at increased risk for returning to drug use even after years of not taking the drug.

Until we understand the obstacle, we can't figure out how to move it.

I have family that struggles with addiction. 

Sometimes we've lost 

- this time we want to win

... So we pray.

Here Kitty Kitty

 Meet "The Tuxedo Kid"... one of the two newest members of the family to be coming home soon. A sibling, "Lil Sylvester" will be coming home too. 

I'm worse than a kid when it comes to babies..

My Miss Sophia is going on 14 years old, she  was in the truck accident with me and has had some complications since. 

I know her time is coming soon, we've come close a couple times. 

Sophia never got to have puppies. When ever I bring home a kitten, she treats it like her own. 

All 3 of my cats and Sophia are 'family', it's pretty cute. 

So, when the stray showed up at my daughters and delivered 5 kittens. The decision to give Sophia a couple more kittens was made. 

This way she has babies one more time, and hopefully they will help me with the loss when it's her time.

We are truly a cat family... Just ask MoJo, Gizmo and Miss Cleo.{top to bottom}

Animals make the world go around. Love unconditional and always there.

Blessed by God
