Quote from: ChristopherJI just spent a couple of days visiting my elderly father in the hospital (heÃ,’s going to be ok). But for KTC and the people that help me here, I never would have been able to sit patiently for hours on end the way you need to do in this situation. IÃ,’m very grateful.
"Just need to take the edge off", or give myself "something to do" while I waited. Those would have been my favorite excuses; the latter is the most ridiculous. Like spitting dip spit into a cup is "doing" something. I'm with you brother. Grateful for being quit, grateful for brotherhood, and grateful that you're dad is ok.
Nicotine is such a lie.

The brotherhood isnÃ,’t a lie.

Honored to quit with you guys.
The freedom just gets better and better doesnÃ,’t it!?!

Proud of you, man. ItÃ,’s my pleasure to quit with you...
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Just one and you will be back where you started.
And where you started was desperately wishing
you were where you are right now.

Every New Years Day, a good friend would send me the poem below. He died earlier this year (cancer) so I am feeling his loss today.



"Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy."

Max Ehrmann, Desiderata
Don't be afraid.  You are not alone.
