Some interesting aspects of withdrawal can be noted using cigarette smokers as an example. Most smokers who decide to quit do so with knowledge of the harmful aspects of tobacco and come to a rational decision about quitting. . . . They are filled with confidence, have gained support of friends and loved ones, and often prepare vacation time to coincide with the effort. The point being made is that they make major plans and efforts of rational magnitude to end their addiction.
Now, we meet this addicted person days later and they no longer are rational and possibly not very sane. Gone is the image of dragon breath and cancer, of lungs filled with emphysema and green garbage; in the place of this is now an image of the glory and great taste of (the now missing) cigarettes. No longer is the person confident and firm in their belief of improved personal life and a new ability to concentrate on work and play. Now they believe they will never be able to concentrate again without the aid of nicotine. . .
Later, we see this addict out back, sneaking just one cigarette in order to stay sane and rationalizing this with the most illogical means at hand and not being able to see the insanity. A little later, the addict is out again with a cigarette believing that two hours between cigarettes is a great improvement over two minutes between cigarettes. Not only that, but they no longer believe in the studies showing the danger of cigarettes but now recall the studies showing the lack of danger in cigarettes. It does not matter that those studies are old, out of date, lacking in detail, data, and poorly done, the smoker will be attracted to the memory of them and will selectively recall how much these mean and how important the studies showing little danger from cigarettes are. . . . Now, well, the addiction is speaking and not the rational person.

Cigarette smokers will imagine the joy of smoking and the good feeling it would impart. This joy, taste, and feeling are greatly magnified from even the best that once was. No matter that the lack of taste, joy, or feeling at the end was so bad that it aided in making the decision to stop smoking.

Once a subconscious imprint has been set it is virtually set in stone and will never change. . . You must now create new and stronger imprints, learn to overcome the demands of that imprint, learn to work out of a different brain circuit, do something strong enough to get past the signals that imprint will now cause for the rest of your life.
It is fall time. Birds migrate south. So do butts, traveling under cover of the curb, slowly wiggling behind each other.

Another one of the few artifacts of my childhood darkroom. Taken and printed by yours truly - 15 years old and already a Bokeh Whore.

Luz writes: "Butts" is a photo of my brother, Paz and myself. Being curious children, playtime ventured into the world of pantyhose. We decided to surprise my mother (from whom we inherited our sense of humor) with a dance routine as armless children. We still laugh at this photo, as it seems that Paz is also peeing on the carpet...
