Merry Christmas

Mid 70's

I was smoking and going to church in Hollywood.

A Filmmaker in church had started a religious themed movie and he asks me to write a song I could sing at a small church setting on Christmas Eve.

Here is my song. I recorded it right where I sit 6 Christmas Eves ago.

Sorry, no video of me singing it.

Tonight is the night

of the birth of the light

of the whole world

The light of the world

This baby boy

the essence of joy...

The song was filmed in a small church with a live congregation but the film was never released, so I never got to see it..

Merry Christmas

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.
