The tip about the car coasting to a stop was really helpful to learn, thanks rick! I’d never thought of it that way

2021-12-02 09:51:57 +0000 UTCI'm late (as usual), so I hope Dan already got good answers and support from his doctor, meds etc. Hopefully, life is flowing easier (if even just a bit). Dan should have no shame about being overcome with emotion as he battles his depression while aiming to quit smoking. It's a safety mechanism. It's a very hard time to quit smoking. There's so much upheaval, disappointment and frustration happening right now (i.e.: COVID isn't gone yet). Big (and small) plans postponed (again) or cancelled outright. Relationships changing (some languishing, some ending). It doesn't particularly feel like a hopeful time, etc. For many of us (Dan included), ALL OF THE ABOVE. I hope Dan wins this battle with nicotine, but even if he falters, it's just one battle. He has quit before and he can do it again. Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe in weeks or months. We can't always wait for "optimum" circumstances to make big changes, but we're not superhuman either. All I can offer is my encouragement, love and support. "Life" happens... that's the war.

I have crazy anxiety from my work and it really calmed me. I had to find other ways to cope. I hope you champion your struggle! Thank-you Rick for being such a good friend to Dan and finally “I don’t know mother fucka make some evp’s!”

2021-08-25 20:30:14 +0000 UTCit’s actually quite a bit more successfull, as far as the dats goes, to quit smoking at the same time as quitting other drugs.

2021-08-25 20:23:20 +0000 UTCDan, when I have bad anxiety or a panic attack, I do two things: firstly, I recognize that the attack cannot possibly last for very long, as we're incapable of being in that state for more than a few minutes. Secondly- and this is NO BULLSHIT!! - I watch your films from the Poconos and Rolling Acres Mall. They really DO help me get back "on center." And, for THAT, I thank you! Be well, Dan...
