I'm really taking about a moment when you realised you couldn't continue any longer. Perhaps you had a sudden realisation or it was something building for a long time, but you just broke with the past right then and there...

Twice - once is something too personal to talk about, the other time was when I stopped believing there was any God or higher intellignce looking down on us, shortly after reading Psalm 14:1.

Yes... I was written off as an incorrigible alcoholic, told that I had about a year to live, was diagnosed as suicidal and homicidal.
The next morning,I didn't want to be crazy any more.
Still alive and sober after 29 years, one month, and 20 days, by the grace of God and the help of the AA program.
Spent more than 20 of those years as an RN.
Am still crazy, but without alcohol, I can control the craziness.

Yes, I was in a dead end job with a company that was down-sizing in Atlanta, I hadn't dated anyone for 2 years or more, and my parents were still making me feel guilty about my brother's suicide from 10 years before.
I had a huge yard sale, quit my job, told my parents to get a grip, packed everything in my car and moved to San Francisco. Within 3 months I had a great job at Stanford Univ. I met a loving, giving man and got married a year later. I reconciled with my parents and 10 years later, life is good and I feel like we have put our demons to rest. Still married and very happy in Hilton Head now.

Yes just recently. Walked away from a career in Medicine because I realised I need to be happy first and am tired of sorting everyone elses life out while I'm made miserable.
Life is too short to devote it to people who don't even care about themselves.
We have no cures,its just pushing drugs to keep you all alive and hooked to the medicine. Industrial drug dealers.
And I'm so relieved now.

When i realised what i had to do to nurture my relationship with God.. I looked at the ten commandments again, after years not realising but claiming christianity.
I left the church, family, ambitions, the desires of the world.
I felt the call to commit to God, let God be the centre and foget my career aspirations, i'm starting again, but with God.
I dropped my design course, sold my hi hi, sold my CDs, gave away an exspensive portable t.v to my neighbour i don't know., gave my neighbour my £600 computer to another neighbour i don't know, gave away half my wardrobe, changed the way i dressed.... gave away some exspensive art equipment to another neighbour, and commnced trying to b still and more prayerful with God.
I'm stil going and i'm seriously happy, believe it or not, inside. Learning to be on the outside.

These things seem to happen gradually and I don't think that anything is ever completely left behind. Even things we may no longer do- we may still be reminded of them.
