This community is really being enjoyed. Friendly straightforward people willing to help and reassure whenever necessary. A lot of spiritual growth appears to be going on and I've chosen to begin adapting a similar mentality. On a recent trip I saw my cigarette smoking to be a metaphorical pacifier. It represented a clinging to a lack of self-acceptance via the reassurance that I would not always be me. I'm now officially on the path to being tobacco free. I hope to continue learning from this chemical and exploring realities outside of my own. Thanks for reading.
