In the movie “Raiders of the lost ark” The character played by Harrison Ford is tied to a stake as the Nazi’s open the arc. This wisp of smoke blows up to Ford and as he is looking at it, it turns from this beautiful woman to a hideous death mask.

That is how I see addictions of all stripes. Beautiful right up to the moment you tell it No!

On your other point desirae, yes, small changes, changing a phone number, taking another way home from work, etc. are all good ideas.

But I need to remember that I suffer from is a spiritual disease, and what removed that dame obsession was a spiritual remedy. Along with changing my old play mates, and play pens.
