Yeah Penquin! Gas only! You are awesome! Scream at the nicodemon. Tell him to go away and leave you alone because your life doesn't belong to him anymore. I know you feel good making it to the gas station and leaving with more gas. Reward time! How about ice cream? Bubble bath? Treat yourself. You deserve it.

Hang in there Penquin. It will get better. Take some deep breaths and scream if it helps! You CAN do it.

Awesome, Penquin! :) :) :) Just remember, the junkie is a bald-faced liar. In fact, whenever he tries to tell you something, you should just call him that to his face! Don't let him think he can fool you in any way, shape, or form.

Lost this battle, again. Nicodemon won. Will be awhile before I'm back again, I think. Somehow I will find the way to say NO, NO, NO. Will not be back until then.

It has been one long crave this morning and feeling like I can't hold on much longer. I know this is the crux of beating this addiction...this obsessive part in the first few days, but man the Junkie is talking loud. "You've tried this how many times in the past couple months. Come on wait till next week and then try. Today is not the day. Come up with some excuse. You need some gas. It's not far to the store...only a couple of minutes and then it's done. What's one more day. You're on vacation.....and on, and on, and on. I can't even get a second to step in and say BUT. Having a real rough time.

Still holding on. Nothing like having your words thrown back at you to make you think about fighting a little harder. I needed that.

Penguin -- I HEAR YA! I have played that head game with myself a hundred times, and given in to that a hundred times. Finally the cycle of saying "that's it, I'm done" and then talking myself out of it 2 day later or 6 days later has gotten so old that I just want to see what it will be like if I DON'T cave. I know what it feels like to give up. Now I'd like to know what it feels like to NOT give up. Come with me. I don't want to go explore this alone. It's like going into the attic during a horror movie. Usually fine if you go with someone. If you're in the house alone....you're probably toast! :p

I will not say good-bye penguin. Take care of yourself and find your way back here. Until then....
