[0:00]Hi there.
[0:02]So, I got to thinking, you probably
[0:04]don't know that a week ago, I quit
[0:07]vaping.
[0:08]I had been a smoker for most of my life
[0:10]since the age of 16.
[0:12]I quit that by switching to vaping a
[0:15]year and a half ago.
[0:17]And a week ago, I quit that
[0:20]cold turkey.
[0:24]And
[0:26]so this past week has been
[0:29]a journey to say the least. I documented
[0:32]the whole thing. It's under my sanctum
[0:35]subscription service.
[0:37]For anyone who's interested, you'll find
[0:39]it on my website. Just look at the
[0:41]description of my video.
[0:45]It's gone easier than I thought to be
[0:47]honest with you. I haven't really had a
[0:48]lot of cravings.
[0:51]um
[0:53]just been really cautious like
[0:56]cuz it's working, you know, and I can't
[0:58]really say why like what what factors
[1:01]are making it work, right? Cuz I mean 32
[1:03]years, okay? Like we're talking a long
[1:05]time. My entire adult life
[1:09]since I was 16 years old,
[1:12]I had been
[1:17]moderating my life, modulating it
[1:19]through through this chemical nicotine,
[1:23]and then I just stopped.
[1:26]I've been trying
[1:29]all of those years and you know like
[1:30]it's just
[1:33]so anyways that's where I've been this
[1:35]week and
[1:38]um because of that I've really just kind
[1:41]of been focused on on
[1:44]seeing this through. So it's been a lot
[1:47]of time on the ocean like I am now.
[1:50]Um, I walked so much. Like yesterday, I
[1:53]must have hiked I did hike over 10
[1:55]miles, probably like 15,
[1:58]same the day before that.
[2:01]And I mean, just a lot.
[2:04]Um,
[2:06]one day I'll be able to see that because
[2:09]well, I didn't GPS track all of it.
[2:12]First couple of days I didn't, and I
[2:14]don't know why. I did think about it,
[2:15]but I just didn't do it.
[2:18]Um,
[2:21]but the days that I did, they're going
[2:22]to end up on Atlas on my website when I
[2:25]create that feature.
[2:27]And I'm going to enjoy that. I've been
[2:30]taking pictures,
[2:32]you know, every once in a while when I
[2:33]just think this is a good thing to
[2:35]document this right here.
[2:39]I'm going to put that under the gallery
[2:41]when I create that. And that's what got
[2:42]me on this camera just as I started
[2:44]thinking about gallery
[2:46]in my life. So, first of all, my domain
[2:50]name is due
[2:52]in less than a week. And if I can't pay
[2:54]it, I lose a domain that I have had
[2:56]since since for 23 years.
[3:01]That's how long I've owned rwfire.com.
[3:06]and
[3:08]don't know how I'm paying it.
[3:11]I'll figure it out. It's too important
[3:12]for me not to.
[3:15]Also, my hosting fees are due. I owe 70
[3:17]bucks on that and I don't have that on.
[3:19]So, my website could actually go down
[3:21]for a while. If it does, it does. I'm
[3:24]not
[3:26]not begging
[3:28]for help from anybody. Like, I just
[3:32]my life is what it is and I'll figure it
[3:34]out somehow.
[3:37]I have asked I've provided ways for
[3:40]people to help and
[3:44]so uncommon now that
[3:48]I mean it's shockingly uncommon now.
[3:52]So anyways,
[3:55]I just wanted to say that I don't know
[3:57]exactly what I'm going to do with
[3:59]autonomy next. I think I might want to
[4:01]work on um the gallery feature next cuz
[4:04]I want to get my photos online.
[4:07]But when I created the open- source
[4:10]repository for it, I started a new
[4:13]project, you know, cuz I'm migrating
[4:17]my code from other projects into
[4:20]consolidating it all into a common code
[4:22]base.
[4:24]Um
[4:27]and I switched to the front end to
[4:28]React. So, I'll have to rewrite all of
[4:31]that.
[4:33]And I think I want to use this as the
[4:35]base for my homepage, even though my
[4:36]homepage is got a lot of work built into
[4:39]it already.
[4:41]Um,
[4:46]I quit vaping. That's so [ __ ]
[4:48]important.
[4:50]Saves me money. It saves me stress cuz I
[4:52]don't have to [ __ ]
[4:54]worry about that anymore.
[4:57]Still got to feed myself. Still got a
[4:59]few bills to pay. Still got to pay for
[5:01]my Jeep. Don't know how I'm going to
[5:03][ __ ] do it.
[5:08]I won't [ __ ] beg. Just won't
[5:13]need a line support in my life. And
[5:14]there are ways to do that
[5:17]for those will
