As they say
Something will kill a man
But I dread painful that comes with some kind sickness.
About smoking (i mean cigarette because the the other one is non negotiable). It comes in phases from phases for me too. I have been in phases I thought I will die if I missed a day without it, right now I am in phase I can't stand the smell. It's like that with me just need need a trigger I guess.
One thing about addiction that always work for me is when I am having too much thought about my current one, I replaced it with a new one or an old one I have abandoned.
Currently my top addiction like most steemian is steemit, still have another one or two but they don't have much hold on me right now because of steemit.
I wanted to say replace your food addiction with gym but fuck it...live however you want. After all said and done, we all live to die.
Oh yeah, about the other one, it is a delicate subject and there will always be opinions in favor and some against...
I get the phases part, it is the same for me, sometimes it is very easy and sometimes it is too hard for me to nost smoke that I have to get out of a room if someone is smoking there.
Yeah, replacing an addiction for another one "less harmless" is a good idea, especially if you are trying to quit once and for all.
i want to go to the gym but for my it is kind of pointless, I enjoy playing sports but going to the gym to run in a machine and push some weights... meh, its not for me man.
I was close to writing a similar post to this recently.
I know how you feel man, and 'addictive personality' they call it.
Check out the lovely @abigail-dantes's recent blog regarding addiction (where I commented with a similar list to you!)
