DAY 157 TIME TO SLOW DOWN

I have reached the point of moving my energy in a new direction. These Blog Posts are going to slow way down as my attention is drawn in NEW ways. My mind is evolving and changing in ways I did not OR PERHAPS I DID 🙂 anticipate. Specifically I am resuming my studies of additional languages and such. Unfortunately there is not enough time in a day to pack it all in here. I hope that what I have tried to capture here has helped some folks out there.. In the up coming mornings I will be meditating and then have a set of headphones on with Rosetta Stone getting me going again in my German. Following that will be studies of Old English, Old Norse, Icelandic, and possibly several others.

THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I'M LEAVING THE EX BY ANY MEANS! I WILL BE AROUND TO HELP FOR SURE! IT MEANS THAT I SPEND SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF TIME COMPOSING AND WRITING THESE AND SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE! NO CHANGE OF MY STATUS AS A NON-SMOKER EXCEPT I'M GETTING OLDER BY THE DAY....LOL YOU WILL CONTINUE TO SEE MY DAILY PLEDGES!

From time to time I will probably compose a BLOG or two but for the most part I have already captured here EXACTLY WHAT WORKED FOR ME to help ME PERMANENTLY QUIT SMOKING! The MINDSET, THE ENTHUSIASM, THE RESOLVE THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS! I suggest that if I were to try and impart just one point of the GREATEST BENEFIT TO ME AND LIKELY YOU IT WILL HAVE TO BE THE PERSONAL STUDY OF YOUR EMOTIONAL MATURITY! That has been my experience with ADDICTION and seeking to change the path I walk. There are changes in many other facets of my life that are truly outside of the scope of this group but make no mistakes there either, I find it impossible to JUST STOP SMOKING IN SOME ISOLATED BUBBLE AND NOT MAKE CHANGES ELSEWHERE TOO! I HOPE YOU FIND WHAT WORKS FOR YOU AND KEEP THOSE QUITS STRONG! That is truly what must happen! NO ONE CAN DO IT FOR YOU! YOU MUST LEARN FOR YOURSELF AND ENACT IT!

TODAY AND FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE I WILL CONTINUE TO CHOOSE NOT TO USE EVERY DAY!
TODAY AND FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE I WILL CONTINUE TO BE CLEAN, SOBER, AND SMOKE FREE BY CHOICE!
TODAY I AM MOVING INTO NEW REALMS OF BEING AND UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE OF THE CHOICES I MAKE!
TODAY I HAVE A LITTLE GIRL THAT KNOWS HER DADDY HAS QUIT KILLING HIMSELF AND IT FEELS REALLY GREAT TO "KEEP DOING IT NOT"!
TODAY AND FOREVER I AM FREE BY CHOICE AND I HAVE BANISHED UNDERSTANDING EVER GOING BACK!
SO MOTE IT BE!

I wish to thank all of you that have supported my personal transformation, for that is what this TRULY is. I continue to move forward in the direction of additional light and freedom but the scope has now expanded dramatically. I wish you well and great success by whatever route you choose to take. It really is as simple as choosing not to use. If you are struggling I suggest that you embrace the facts and become comfortable with them. You will find that it is YOU making it difficult on yourself. ONLY YOU CAN DO THAT!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING
I SURE AM THANKFUL

My goodness

It is sort of weird how our emotions parallel during a space in time.
I would have never believed the habit of smoking would control one's mind in so many different ways.
I TOO HAVE BECOME DISENCHANTED with some of the things I did and thought as normal.
I am becoming a little more relaxed, and not AFRAID to make a decision
and do something different.
I know exactly where you are coming from my friend, and let me know if you hear from you know who.
I would say it's just another Turkey, but I guess this year the Turkey is a little special for both of us!

Old Norse and Icelandic, eh? Why not Coptic while you're at it? Looks like there's nothing that can stop you!

More power to ya, darling.
