Winding The House

Someday you'll learn how to live life for you, 
You'll set your values and know what to do
Then you can live life as never before  
Here is the key that can open the door...

In the upper room where your memories bloom and the moments turn to years
Where all your past experience lies, the pleasure and the fear
Where fantasies are your release, where your sub-conscious plays
Now is the time to climb the stairs, time to go all the way

Wind your house,
find your heart,
look deep inside you and tear it apart
Wind your house,
'till you see, the core of your being with no mystery

Throw back the lid of the old leather trunk,
brush all the cobwebs away
Until you do you can never be true to a person that you never met
Take all the pain that would drive you insane,
the bad memories festering there,
Tie it all up with the strength of your will, carry it all down the stairs

Wind your house,
find your heart,
look deep inside you and tear it apart
Wind your house,
'till you see,
the core of your being without mystery

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
