Addiction To Swinging Heaven

28 Feb 2004

Why on earth is everybody talking of addiction to this place as a negative thing !!??
{Stands up}
"I'm an SH addict and proud of it !!"
{Sits down}
There, I've said it !
Besides, a place with good friends and much mirth and merriment can't be a bad thing, can it ?

PS Also, of course, you'll never know who you may meet on here if you don't hang around, do you........To think I nearly left a couple of months ago - boy, would I have missed out on what followed..... redface

I'm bothered by the thought of being addiceted-just like I was when I had a pipe stuck in my chops all day, like a bloody dummy, So, I dug out my copy of 'quitting the Easyway' by Alan Carr-brother of Wayne maybe?-and he says addiction is just a 'crutch'. Well , I confess that 'crutch' did have a bearing on my coming here but ....so, I moved on.
I then saw adverts for 'patches' on TV. Mmm, thinks Artificer, being of creative bent, can I apply the same principle to weaning folks off SH? Anyway, I jumped into the Artimobile and zoomed into the big city-well, the village shop actually, after running slap bang into scores of horses and lolloping great hounds-yep, hunt day-and found what I was after at the Newsagent.......

PATCHES FOR SH ADDICTS!! lol

:lol:
Well actually, they are 'Junior Tattoo' transfers for children-you know, the little temporary 'transfers' that children put on their arms to look 'cool'. Guess what, I found a 'Fred Flintstone' one and a 'Red Indian' one (Misschief). I found a 'Tigger' and a mock SAS one (Bilko). I found an 'Incredible Hulk' one-well, you did say that was your alter ego Blue Eyes, and a flying bird thing that, to a blind man on a galloping horse, might resemble Carpy's last one I saw was a heart with the strapline 'The one I love' underneath...yep, Will and Sappho :lol: I really think this could be a winner. If you start feeling 'withdrawal' you could just apply your little 'patch' and you've got a temporary fix!!
ULRIKA !
I'VE GOT IT!!
May I commend the idea to the House.
So, keep your eyes skinned butties, if you see any other tattoos that resemble Forum members let me know

PS If you think I'm using Arti's poetic license here, go down to the shop and look for yourself!!

This was my first ever thread 3 weeks after joining the site which I said to myself I would be on for no more that 2 weeks. On the 8th February this year I will have been here 7 years .......... longer than many relationships last.
I think back to Artificer whose posts were like beautiful food. You ached for more. Missy who just made me roar with laughter ......... I never used the chat rooms back then, I just was a forum nerd. I had never been on a forum before and I fell hook line and sinker.
Somewhere on this website it says why I came to the site - totally in peices from my man moving to Scotland - sad story and all that but its life. My heart was broken and I wanted to just talk bollox and not belong to anyone again. In many ways this site helped me heal but it also brought me to my senses. I was never going to be a swinger - god knows I have talked about it and dabbled with the idea but lets face it 7 years is a long time so I know its not going to happen. I used to feel bad about it and should I be on the site, but not now.
Well as I said on the 8th of February 2004 I joined the site, and on the 8th February this year 2011, my man in Scotland is flying down and we are a couple again. We have tried on and off for the last 3 years but actually this site has had a bearing on our not getting back together sooner as I was honest about being on here. Just didnt go down too well and you will understand that not everyone can see things as you do. I am bursting with joy as I know this time its going to be forever because I am ready to be a couple. Neither of us ever stopped loving each other, it was just circumstances.
I wont come on very often but certainly I wont say I am leaving the site as I would be fibbing.
I am a SH addict lol

:lol: :lol:
Just nice end to a story eh ;)
