Wednesday, August 3 - DAY 1

Starting today, i will only post once per day, i can all too easily get carried away, and even here i'm not gonna wait till my first day is nearly over before posting this, but for future posts it should be like that.

SW is addictive, and i find things very easy to be addicted to, countless times i've tried to live without SW and the similar sites before it, a medium, middle path may be best, i must not make silly rules for myself, but base and entrench them in solid pure goodness, and this is it, to maximize the time left to nurturing the mind and thoughts by great literature, using the resources the internet offers for learning, and being free enough to spend a little bit of time here, which takes a type of strength that may not seem like strength, it's a strength survivors of traumatic events have, but here it's much less dramatic, and valorous. Still for me quite difficult for the addiction reason combined with just how i am.

This was gonna be a week long exercise, but once a day is better, i could perchance work up to a once in a week post, then up to a month and so on, it's like building something, muscles, a resourcefulness of character, deepening myself into not just an impulsive doo doo head who for example buys things pell mell and never reads them,

DAY 1

In my home when i say this is day 1 there's some chuckling, i've said it so often, that NOW is when there will be a long period of time of not getting any more books.

Had a long sleep and am recharging the kindle it was around 60% last night, so it needs some juice. Benjamin McEvoy was open to having a talk with Cliff Sergeant he's a top bloke in Ben's words, my dream is to have Chris Via, Cliff and Ben all together, my top 3 booktubers together. Talk about hubris to think that i'd have anything to do with bringing them together in a 5 hour discussion video, or maybe a series, or heck a long running series!! They'd become best friends.

In the 2nd last post i said i didn't get all of Elena Ferrente's books but i did, the translated ones, they're all done by the same lady and it looks real good. The Neapolitan novels is her greatest most well known achievement, so i'm reading that first, it flows so well, 1,700 pages will feel ultimately like 300.

The green light on the kindle indicates it's powered up, if i leave it plugged in for a little while more it'll actually be at 100%, now it would be like 95%.

Love you all, have a GREAT day/night, thanks to those kind people you know who you are, and everyone else, love to all, and wishing improvements a plenty to anyone going through a tough time, we should all be there for each other in a personalized, not mass way, for some aren't fitted for some others. My generalized opinions are because i never get too involved, in principle i think it's sound what i say, i'm not here trying to be funny. All in all, talk more tomorrow on DAY 2!!!!!

Well, withdrawal is a bummer but it's only insurmountable when one doesn't actually 100% wish to be done with the addiction. Alcohol took me 5 tries over about 3 years. And when I finally did put it down it was down, no trouble, because I had come to truly not only fear my addiction but to actively despise everything about it, every single behavior I'd accumulated that were attendant to the whole twisted process of boozing it up. I have no things about drinking that I miss. Nothing. Not even the people. Same with tobacco, which was way harder to quit and far more damaging to get to the point where I finally so hated it and everything I did associated with it that I just had to remove it from my life or die. You have to be really done with whatever the addiction is to really be able to walk away and stay away from it.
