Time to say goodbye

Reason #572 that I believe Talkbass to be an addiction for some. OP quits almost 36 hours ago, yet is still here reading, liking, and responding to lots of posts :).

I'm grateful that I'm not a Facebook guy, as I do think Talkbass has (for me anyhow) a lot more going for it. It's mostly focused around my life's calling. Facebook is random BS, cat and dog videos, politics, and, "Hey, look at me!" stuff.

I like Talkbass. I don't think I'll ever quit here again, but I would like very much to curb my habit. And I probably will take a complete break over the summer months.

I have another non-music related forum that I belonged to where I was constantly getting into arguments with people. It was a forum of a serious nature, health related. Got into a lot of crap with the main moderator, and still carry a resentment as I truly believe that he's ruining people's lives with his support (enabling) and recommendations. Anyhow, I HAD to cut myself free from that last summer, and committed to doing so for 2 months. Since September I've posted only around 2 times there, and I feel free of a ton of BS. Don't need that kind of darkness in my life.

Not looking to derail here, just looking to write. I like writing. Should be going over songs for tonight's show. I've got a pretty cool show happening tonight that I've really wanted to talk about here, but have been told I can't. Tomorrow I can :).
 
I posted this in your "New Bed Day!" thread:

"From the threads you've started recently, it sounds like you're making a concerted effort to improve your overall health and well-being. Good for you!"

I meant every word.

I pray that you have the strength to emerge from whatever you're going through stronger and happier than before. All the best to you, and come back anytime!
