I am at a loss at the moment on how to make progress. It is embarrassing, frustrating, and angering. I hate myself for not doing what I said I would do.

Bust
My pipe is still in my hand. I am angry and disgusted with myself for my failure. Unfortunately, I am, sadly, also relieved as well to still be smoking my pipe.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
No point in hating yourself for it.
ReplyDeleteWhat BBC said.
ReplyDeletePerhaps if your pipe were in your mouth instead of your hand you would be less stressed :)
ReplyDeleteJokes aside I strongly relate to your dilemma. I smoke cigars and not pipes but the cycle of strong desire to quit > self deprecation on failure > resigned back into typical usage patterns is extremely familiar to me. Do you also inhale into your lungs? Makes it much more difficult to quit. I wish you the best of luck.
So it goes. I would imagine that god has bigger fish to fry than punishing you for lowering his Lent statistics.
