Thanks all for the words of encouragement. I had a moment yesterday and it was after stuffing a quesadilla from a Mexican food truck into my gaping maw. I sure was tempted, but made the right choice. I shot some heroin instead.
Well, I strongly believe that I can ride a bike based on evidence gained from experience and consistent results. I don't really know I can until I'm actually doing it.
One of these days, I'm going to wake up and go to set my foot on the ground to stand....and my whole world will be turned upside down.
I think that believing in something is different from having a set of beliefs.
I believe that I can ride a bike.
I believe that if I pray to a kelly-green umbrella while simultaneously wrapped in the skin of a Siberian hippopotamus and standing on my head, that I can go skydiving with a coffee filter.
Kal, I don't see it as being that complicated, at least in my personal situation, where I need to 'teach' myself not to smoke. I could be wrong though.
Maybe if I punch myself in the face every time I have a craving it could be considered a form of 'teaching', and the lesson being that thoughts of smoking result in a bloody nose?
I feel I just need to keep saying no to the juvenile in me that sometimes screams for instant gratification.
I agree about the Bible and the blatant hypocrisies therein. I don't necessarily see the birth of all that is presently known as the universe being brought into existence by a 'who'.
I suppose it's hard to imagine that the 'creator' could be anything but a omnipotent supreme being, but much of what we now know to be true was once unimaginable.
As beliefs go, I really don't have much use for them.
Xquseme, I get it. I was building to a crescendo of sorts. One that left me with diabetes and dentures.
Blue, that wouldn't work for me. Having them within reach makes it worse. When a smoker is around, I'll often ask to buy a smoke for a dollar. Most times people will offer one but I insist on paying as part of my punishment for smoking. I always regret it since there's really no enjoyment in it anymore but there's a part of my subconscious that's not quite convinced.
I didn't smoke today and with a little bit of will power, I won't smoke tomorrow. It's the cravings that start with a coffee in the morning that I could do without. Eh, the cravings, NOT the coffee! There's no way I'm giving that up!
The Kombucha mushroom people Sitting around all day Who can believe you Who can believe you Let your mother pray (sugar) I'm not there all the time you know Some people, some people, some people Call it insane, yeah they call it insane (sugar) I play Russian roulette everyday, a man's sport With a bullet called life, yeah, mama, called life(sugar) You know that every time I try to go Where I really want to be It's already where I am 'Cause I'm already there The Kombucha mushroom people Sitting around all day Who can believe you Who can believe you ........
Sorry Kal, I misunderstood. Also, you may use it but thanks for asking.
Ok, so the eye drawings we're both done while I was sober. I was attempting to make a joke.
These are what I use
Perfectly legal here to anyone over 21 and with a valid ID. I like them because I can eat two on a mostly empty stomach and know just what to expect and for how long. I used to prefer smoking but edibles are much easier on my lungs.
I don't but it enhances focus and creativity. It's sorta like eating chocolate chip cookies....and then having chocolate chip cookies with milk. It makes the experience better. Also it's like I get switched to autopilot. I'd have to conciously fight the desire to draw.
