But Icarus was not dead. He was scared. He had been free for a moment, but brought back to Earth as fast as he was freed. Icarus was a proud boy, and scared of what Daedalus may think. "You silly boy!" "Why did you not heed my warnings?" Eventually, Icarus found his way back to Crete Once there, he discovered many new faces That were flying and free like he once was. Icarus was in awe, and told them that it could not be done. It was against nature, and they would fail as he had as well. Why were they here in this jail? "Man is not meant to fly like a bird. That is for Gods. The sun will melt your wings and you will fail." A strong man with large wings named Loot approached the young Icarus with rage. "It can be done, my son. You were not smart. You forgot you were man, and knew yourself as a god. You did not fly. You were falling the Moment you ignored your father. He warned you. I will offer the same words of your father. 'I warn you, Icarus, fly a middle course: Don't go too low, or water will weigh the wings down; Don't go too high, or the sun's fire will burn them. 25 Keep to the middle way. And one more thing, No fancy steering by star or constellation, Follow my lead!' That IS the flying lesson. You flew alone before, but alone you'll never be. We return here before every flight It reminds us that we will always be men. Have a friend in shouting distance. To get and give advice. This flight is your own. If you need help, ask for it. We are men." So Icarus grew to be a man. He flew and never forgot. Each day he returned to Crete. He found other men. He entered his flight with a voice on his wing. If he flew too high, he was given support. If his support flew too low, he gave what he learned. Icarus flew again, but never forgot that he was man. I'd like to thank the core supporters of my quit: Eafman, Team, Moe, the Colonal, and the rest of you October Basterds. You guys rock. Let's keep posting and never forget. St. Nic O Frees (December 2006)--I'm sorry. I should be at 1900 like you guys, but I forgot. Thanks for allowing me to return. Post roll. Stay quit. Repeat. |

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11 I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11 To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12 Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12 Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13 Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15 I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18 Try walkin' your talk or get the fuck out of my way-A Perfect Circle (TalkTalk) | |
