Necessary Forthright Confession: i am a nicotine Addict, so just about
everything that's 'Hard' in my previous post [quoted below], applies
directly to myself.
i've discussed all of this, repeatedly, in the past.
there's never been a 'good'-'time' to withdraw from my Addiction.
but, if it's the case that enough of NDT's stuff has been communicated,
perhaps, i should go-ahead, now.
i've 'quit' for up to 14 months in the past, but, when i do, the 'emptiness'
of my 'Life' rises-to-the-surface of my Being, mainly in the form of Needing
to be 'in-Love',, you know, 'romantically'.
but, then, it 'hurts' so much to witness Love being subjected to the
ramifications of all the 'Hard' stuff i must do, that i do the Loving thing,
and spare Love the 'Hardness'.
which leaves me 'alone', and i throw nicotine's 'blanket' on the 'fire'.
which, of course, leaves me in the same 'swimming-hole' with respect to
which i expressed "Disgust" in my prior post.
the folks who are raising taxes on tobacco are Correct.
explain all of this to your Children - what smoking does to nervous systems.
and, if i do withdraw, please don't leave me hanging-in-the-nothingness.
please let me do what needs to be done.
let me Secure the Existence of the understanding.
after that, i'll be just about used-up, so what follows doesn't matter,
anyway.
hello?
