Addiction: theory # 1141,63

I loved that feeling and didn't want it to end...on my own i would challenge my friends on who could spin the longest...i usually won 😊

jemac

ahh, didn't we all, my friend. it's the start of it I tell ya. ...I bet you like to take a sup now n then  ammiright? spinning should be banned

cheers, for dropping by and leaving your thoughts,  Lady. nice thoughts you got there

Yes, i must admit occasionally i fall into it😊

Oh damn I was thinking how can I spin again! Then I got sick and decided I wanted off the ride. But this isn't about me it's about your writing ! As always I think it's flawless xoxo

tsk tsk, Gigi was mad for the spinning  ...raging alcoholic she is now, livin' rough in a dumpster off 57th  


thanks for the words, Miss

what a lovely metaphor

very kind of you to say, good fellow,  thanks

So insightful, Eamonn, as we chase that elusive first great spin . Thankfully you can still spin a good tale !!!

cheers, Tony. I’ll not be submitting my theory to the w.h.o just yet.

thanks for dropping by and leaving yo brain print, much appreciated

in the midst of a million theories and arguments, getting that first taste of bliss and having it followed by a grounded, down, sense of nothingness, always deserves a good, hard look.

If we can't learn very young how to soothe our souls during silence and sit through pain, we are doomed no matter how we spend the up-time.

well written piece with great depth and truth
shine on, bro

that's very true, Miki. the title kinda refers to the fact that in addiction there is nothing concrete anyway, it's all theory

I  don't think it's necessarily bad to want more or want something again. drugs have a bad rep cos they destroy lives, most drugs ( natural drugs) aren't physically addictive though

thanks for dropping by, Mikki. and for leaving your thought print  

this is a perfect picture of an addictive personality. perfect.

people usually apply addiction to a substance, but people can be addicted to so much more. people, places, smells. the list goes one. i adore this one.

(and i might just be stalking you now! in the most non-creepy way possible.)

I dunno about perfect, I have a minor degree in drug and alcohol addiction, there's nothing concrete in the why's. it's all theory. my theory is that children might develop an addictive personality from many things in childhood that they do again and again  

...it's a rough theory, but then it's no worse than some of the others :)'


thanks much, for checkin' out my scribblings and leaving your thoughts. much appreciated    

it is a valid theory, i think. you spin and spin and spin to get dizzy/get an adrenaline rush. then when that's not enough, you start doing other things. quite possibly healthy at first. then that's not enough so you turn to something else that causes a similar release. and it goes on and on because it's never enough.

The title alone is an absolute win.  Then you take us all back to that ride, and so simply - fantastic.  And finally, the theory, which I'll not argue with, haha.  There's always an undercurrent of (what is it?) softness, acceptance, I don't know.  But anyway it leaves it easy for me to smile and say nice write, man.

terrible sorry I missed your comment, Kaatho

it seemed the only way to go for a title, I thought of it about half way through the body, and like you, liked it in an instance. the theory itself, well, I had a feeling of a vision, set the scenes to words so the feeling could swim among them  ..and you dipped your toes  ..and you know what you felt *takes bow *


cheers for dropping in , Lady

I'm trawling through people's back catalogs of a whole chunk of time I have missed out on, so expect me to pull a couple of pieces out of the ark over the coming weeks.

Where the sweet Lord has this one been hiding. Highly, highly relevant, as you well know why.

What I like about this is the deep rooted comfort you've got placed in here. Like addiction is some sort of blanket you can curl up in, and feel safe. There just aren't enough adjectives I can use for this.

Reading listed.

Hullo there, missus

I'm particularly fond of this one myself. each time I revisit there's a nice feeling of accomplishment waiting to jump up and wear me

deep rooted comfort.

Thanks most kind for the visit, welcome back, and thanks for your thoughts

cheers, Gabe

good point about the end. I've re read this plenty since i posted it and never realized the question at the end served as a tool of engagment.

thank you for that, good fellow. and for dropping by
