addiction

Also, I wanted to formally announce that I have quit two addictions - er, one addiction and one gross habit. The addiction being soda. It sounds rediculous, but it's true - ask wilde_moon, she'll vouch for me. Drank at least one or two liters every day from the time I was about 3. S'probly why I have so much extra heft to begin with. Anyway, I'm now going on two weeks with no soda at all - not even diet (but that's gross and I'd never drink it anyway).

Bad habit - nail biting. Stopped cold turkey (okay, there was a LOT of chewing gum and smelly oils), but my nails are finally starting to grow normally, and I now have skin on my fingers! Yay! Two weeks for that, too.

I now only have one (known) addiction to tackle, and I'm askeered to do it. Stupid cigarettes - I hate 'em. They're expensive, they make my clothes smell and I hate the evol looks I get when I smoke. But on the other hand, I *love* 'em because of that feeling you get - that first drag in the morning that feels like sex and chocolate sliding down your throat. *sigh* I'm soooo gonna die young. *rolls eyes*

I finally stopped chewing my nails around age 25, when my now spouse nagged me to the point that I'd take my hand down from my mouth even when he wasn't there to see it. He also took over keeping them trimmed, so there weren't any rough edges to start chewing on.

I'm all for you quitting smoking too. I have never smoked, but as a child of a heavy smoker, I do tend to blame my tendancy to get upper resp. infections on all the second hand smoke that was in my house growing up. As a non-smoker, I don't beleive I give anyone dirty looks for smoking either though, but it may well depend on my state of mind and ability to get away from the smoke.

Heee...i know exactly what you mean. I used to smoke, and even though I don't anymore, I still think smoking is so fucking cool. I mean, it kills you, yes. But it feels so good, and looks so purty. The only reason I was able to stop is that I can't physically handle it. I get bronchitis and pneumonia and shit if I smoke.
