Here's what kills guys like me and Todd.... We are control freaks. Once you understand that about yourself...it's okay. It's just what it is. BUT.... that's where I use that "control" to turn things around for myself.
My big battle with cigs was --- "are you really going to let them control your life"? Like when you're down to just a few --- you'll go out of your way - do anything - modify your whole day - just to make sure you get some more cigs... That is when THEY are in control.... and that's just not the way we work.
Just like drinking - or any other addiction.... when that is in control is when we have a problem regardless of what "it" is. Gambling - cheating - smoking - drugs - cars - whatever... Gotta ask yourself -- who is in control here? Me or "it". I choose ME.
