June 8, 2009

"When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons. In vital matters, however, such as the choice of a mate or a profession, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves. In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed, I think, by the deep inner needs of our nature." Sigmund Freud

I have to do this. I want to do this. I have no idea how to do this successfully, but today is day one and I am going to try. The drive to succeed is strong and that is why I think my thoughts rose from the unconscious with a personal moment where the light goes on in an ahhhh moment. As a doctoral student in Freudian analysis I take unconscious thought seriously and know the time to act is now. I interrupt what I am doing and furiously begin making phone calls for prescriptions, acupuncture and a smoking cessation group, preferably one that's starting NOW. I need help, lots and lots of help. I need help in a group format where we are all in this together. By the end of the day I've set myself up and my cessation group starts in two days. I have the patch,I have a prescription for medication, I have a group. Yeah? Really? Your going slap me? We'll then, I'm gonna punch back.
