Getting Passionette

Bear, I have certainly replaced my "passion" for cigarettes with a "passion" for something else since I quit! And I'm liking this "passion" a whole lot better! Penitent d1270 :)

Hi bear! I'm ting to re-discover passion. I used to be a professional dancer- and I was addicted and passionate about that. I had to give it up 5age, rent to pa etc.). I was a smoker. Never passionate, but just as addicted. Gave it up. Will have to find something else. There are so many interesting things in this world. But to be passionate- not just interested- that is as difficult to discover s a "true love".

I will have to think on this one. My first response was I am passionate about NOT smoking and at this moment, self-pity and feeling left out. (Isnt that a shame to admit?)

Bear, Great post! If smokers spent as many hours say training training for a sport as they did smoking, they would be Olympic athletes. What have you gotten passionate about in all your free time? Brenna, Bilingual Support Specialist
