after reading a book ike recommended in last month's HSNL thread
Breath by Breath by Larry Rosenberg i've realized that i probably won't continue to use bananas forever. it's a book on buddhism. i then went and bought 6 more books off the same publishing company which i have yet to read.
basically i have been practicing being mindful of every thought that passes through my mind and it's a really pleasurable and insightful experience. i have also noticed that bananas, even moreso than alcohol, make it very hard to watch my own thoughts since it becomes rather difficult to keep watching them and then even more difficult to actually enjoy watching my own thoughts (herp-derp, right?).
not that i've quit or anything, but i've begun using my entire day to remain mindful and then just using at night. i've been very socially engaging towards everybody lately during the day and very very quiet at night even though i'm in a more social arena since my mind is now in a fog. i suppose eventually i'll value a very clear mind for the entire night as well as the day.
also my friend says he's been coughing up black stuff for 5 months now after quitting and he says he confirmed on the interwebs that others do as well, but that it's not common knowledge bc nobody ever quits.
peace to all ya'll from down herr in
