Chucking it into the void

Ok Todash - I'm really digging this thread.  But I need to think about this before I give a good response, or a meaningful response for me.  So I'm gonna step back and thunk on it some.
 
I feel like I'm at a crossroads in my life (so very cliche I know).  I'm not sure how much of that is attributable to the smoking cessation.  In truth, I'm realizing that smoking has just been part of my escape.  Part of my attempt to put real issues in the back of my brain and not deal with them.  I think that was part of the reason for my slip a few months ago, resulting in the resetting of the quit-meter.  My brain was balking at the things I was facing so boom...it was way, way too easy to become a smoker again.  It was the easy way out of the mess.  Just not giving a crap.
 
It sounds crazy I know.  But I think my patterns may have been different from a lot of others.  Anyway, I really like this thread and want to think about the right response for me.

Popping off with anger at other people's rudeness is my new nemesis.  I cannot stand rudeness, but instead of letting it eat me up this year, I'm going to remember that rude people will always wake up rude but I will always wake up ME.  And that's a good thing.  So I'm chucking 'commuter rage' into the void!
