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 have wondered about that. Also recently, I've wondered if the nicoteen is a self medication for anxiety for my mom. I definately inherated her tendancy for anxiety along with my dad's depression. Although if she's mellow on cigerettes, I'd hate to think what she'd be like with out them. Which is why I take Xanex occasionally -- especially next week when I'll be visiting mom, and MIL and way more blood kin then I really want to deal with. :-)
