Posted by Dave/Haunted on September 12, 2005, 3:21 am Hi, This flashing thing is a nightmare. Having lots to lose I have refrained for nigh on 20 years... but it is always in my mind to do. The only reason I don’t is what I have to lose, so I guess I am lucky in that I do have the willpower, though extremely reluctant if a situation arises where actually doing it would be a fantastic fix. I am always against anyone who exhibits in front of kids or any kind of threatening situation. Dunno why I am writing this, guess it’s just something on my mind. _________________________ Hi Dave, I am struggling with the compulsion and my “will power” over it too. You are not alone in that. When the guilt comes crashing in I repeat my mantra and wait it out. Also I have been listening to the Division Bell album by Pink Floyd. I find it gives me some personal inspiration. Here are some of the lyrics from the song “Lost for Words”: I was spending my time in the doldrums While you are wasting your time on your enemies To martyr yourself to caution Can you see your days blighted by darkness? So I open my door to my enemies It’s kind of silly, I know. “Whatever gets me through the day.”

I was caught in a cauldron of hate
I felt persecuted and paralysed
I thought that everything else would just wait
Engulfed in a fever of spite
Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades
Like shadows into the night
Is not going to help at all
Because there'll be no safety in numbers
When the right one walks out of the door
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While the ivy grows over the door
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
but they tell me to please go #### myself
You know you just can't win.
