A Summer Duffism

for 16 år siden 0 +0 / -0 210

Been away for a long time now but happy to be back. Thanks Duffis, we sure do have a lot of stories and tales to tell. I remember when I was a child my Grandfather telling of his journey to the United States from Europe.

It took me 5 tries to quit smoking and you kept telling me that some day I'd quit and you were right. My desire not to smoke overcame the desire to smoke and that was that.

Thank you and lots of love

Pete

Thank you to all of the "oldies" (and I say that in quit day terms!!!) from a new quitter. It has been really surprising to me the number of you who still check in on and support people like me who are barely out of the gate.

I appreciate your time and kind words.

I have never thought about sharing stories and tales in that light before. Thank you for opening our eyes, and for being such a great supporter.

Ever since our ancestors could first communicate, we have gathered to share our stories. We have passed along creation tales and tragic stories of love lost. We have repeated accounts of real heroism and simple stories of family history. When our forebears lived closer to the land and to each other, the practice of storytelling was imbued with ritual and occasion. Members of the tribe would often gather around the fire to hear their genealogy recited aloud by an elder or master storyteller. Listeners could track how their own lives, and the lives of their parents, interwove with the lives of the other tribe members, as everyone’s ancient relatives once played out similar life dramas together.

As a custom, some cultures’ storytellers repeat the same tale over and over because they believe that each time you hear it, you come to the story as a different person and view the plot and characters in a new light. Hearing the story over and over is a way to gauge where you have been and where you are now on your path of personal evolution. It also helps the younger generation learn the stories so that they can pass them to forthcoming generations.

The SSC has been a great gathering place for me to hear many tales about life in general and quitting smoking. Over the past three years I have listened to and responded to the ramifications of the quit process. That is one of the main reasons for “us oldies” to keep hanging around. Hearing the same story over and over, year after year. Quitting is not easy yet it certainly can be done as evidenced by the many old time quitters who pop in from time to time.

So to all you new quitters keep listening and get ready to pass on to the next generation your tale of the quit.

Kindness and love to all

Duffis
