It seems like there's a fight going on inside, Words going stark raving mad to take flight. I hesitate, but they want a deluge To hide is something they absolutely refuse. I ponder, wait and consider all angles They run unchecked, unhinged, untangled. Do I open the gates, I wonder Would the flood tear my life asunder? They just want to be free, not like freedom today In the true sense, totally uninhibited No judging, no boundaries, no questions Free to choose their destiny, their directions. So I let them flow, crimson like the Nile millenia ago They gush out, jump, and rush head on into the world. They clash against stoic wills and egos, against logic and emotions, Some get smashed to pieces, some hit hard, some get ignored, and some unleash the demons. I feel empty inside, like suddenly the colors are gone the world is bathed in pristine white. The silence is deafening, maybe I'm not used to peace For I know that like everything, peace comes at a price.

What a coincidence, was listening to this song and thought of this forum too, just yesterday

13 The sun here is strong enough to melt us...but everything being white, doesn't that make it feel like Christmas?

Just remember we love you

13 Lol Reci, it's 4 PM where I'm at, but used the greeting more out of habit.

13 Morning all

My dearest friend Jo, One year is phenomenal in itself for anyone who has quit smoking, but in your case, it is gargantuan, stunning, stupefying, astounding and many more words which escape me at the moment. This 1 year you've not only worked towards keeping yourself quit but have uplifted so many here, and I'm so so proud to be one of those people. You reached out like a shining star my friend, guiding us, never letting us run astray and the most important thing is you did this consistently, day after day, month after month. That shows a generosity of spirit and love for others to an extent that is beautiful to behold. And you faced so many personal challenges, and yet stayed strong like the kickass superhero you are my friend. Donning so many hats with finesse and panache is not everybody's cup of tea. Hence on this day, your 1 year anniversary, I would like to say "Thank you for being you Jo", never change. So happy and grateful to be able to call you my friend...you're an exemplary human being and I feel fortunate to know you. I really hope you are celebrating today Jo, because I know I will raise a toast to you (once I'm back home, that is...strangely, drinking is frowned upon at work, dunno why that is).

You're my Christmas present - Jimmy Beaumont & the Skyliners Sunset or Sunrise?

As wobbly as I was initially, my attitude was to be free of this disgusting habit, not let it control me, which helped to begin my journey. But my attitude was also moulded by people on this forum, who taught me the value of patience, of celebrating the small milestones, taking part in other's journey, which makes your own a little less cumbersome.
