Chucking it into the void

I remember reading many of your threads in 2007 - you are very eloquent. I'll remember this ceremony.

Great thread Todash! You always have such wonderful insights! But yes, I too would need to spend some more time in contemplation to determine what I would like to release. A great idea!

Thanks nonic and stickin. Best two years of my life! Pupikat, I envy your progress and wish you a successful sharing of your soul.

I've got another thing for the void today. The massive head cold everyone is bringing on the public transportation the past month. Take your germs and stick 'em where the sun don't shine I say!

Lurgy, meet void.

Todash:

I missed this, so sorry, you know I always enjoy your posts. As you will know from my pre-Christmas posts, I have just returned from one of my adventures on the dark side...This was a rather frightening one and I am very happy to report that although I went dancing with the moon, I never once considered lighting up again. Ain't that a kick in the head? Back in the day I would have blown through a carton or two. But now I take a more gentile approach to dealing with that slippery slope.

What you say is true. Once you quit and know deep down in that little truth vault that we all have, that you really mean it this time, the realizaton can be almost to real. But I think that there is also a phase in quitting when you kind of sit on a little perch above yourself and begin to understand that that person you are watching really can do this. Oh at that point it is still difficult, but there is a quite sense that you have somehow moved a bit further down the road.

By the way big time congratulations on two years...I find it difficult to believe that we have really been here for that length of time, but that is clearly what Grandfather clock says. So glad to have made the trip with you.

Stay Well

Any other thoughts?

I can honestly say that I am a few years down the road with the family views thing. It actually worked. First my younger brother came around, (the one that died in Feb from alcohol poisoning.) Then my mom and sister. My other brother does not live here and we do not see him much. It is a feeling of a kind of freedom to be who you really are that is so wonderful, it is hard to explain. Good luck with that Todash and Penitent. It has given me some peace. Hhmm. Maybe I am further along than I realized? Need to learn to give myself more credit where due.

But I do still have something for the void: Into the void I throw my reluctance to share my true inner being with friends, along with my shy self so I can be more comfortable with myself.

Huggles to all,

Pupikat

I think for many of us the smokes were a shield, a forcefield. When you get to a certain point, it seems that facing the quit is only drawing back the curtain - it's when you actually have to speak to the wizard when the panic sets in. (Holy crap! I quit smoking! I have to live now! How in the world can I DO this?!?)

So I'm totally with you there. Thunk away, I'll keep coming back to this one. Two years on I'm discovering just how many things I have to slingshot into the abyss!
