The abstinence thread

With you on that James.

I've quit basically everything. But just find new things to develope an addictive relationship with. I even started exercising in an addictive manner.

I remember Mrs Smallfurry being away for a weekend and spend basically a third of my weekend in the gym, a third running, and the rest doing swiss-ball training at home. The reality of the matter first hit me when I automatically lied to her when she got back, and asked why I looked so exhusted.

I think once you're aware of your addictive tendencies you can keep a grip on them. Well works for me at least.

All the best etc.

That's very interesting.

The other thing I find is that you spend ages on doing things to make significant others happy, just so you can justify doing the thing that makes them sad.
