All in all, I think we're in pretty good shape, here. Not one, single person with an addition to sniffing farts or stuffing canned salmon down his pants. Good job, guys. (Of course, Mr. Iowanian has yet to chime in on this deal.)

Oh, and Mr. MadMax ... I hope you do post here again. A lot more, frankly. ChiefsPlanet can use all the substantive, authentic peeps we can get.

This is me.

I don't get addicted to things. But I have a revolving door of escapes I use to avoid everyday reality. Video games, TV/movies, the internet, porn, even reading. None of them, individually, are anything I can't give up, but collectively they've kept me from moving forward in a variety of ways for years. A lot of the time, I just feel...wrong if I'm not escaping somewhere.

For me, it's sort of a melange of laziness, resistance to change, anxiety and fear. I've made some progress this year, but I have a long way to go and I have to be careful not to backstep.

I can relate to that one. It's no secret I used to be a 450lb fat shit. While I've gone a long ways to go, I'm not lazy anymore and looking back on it I can clearly see how the laziness morphed into many other unpleasant afflictions.

Good luck to all of you, and I truely hope you beat your demons until the candy comes out.

I knew this dude where i worked several years back. If someone ripped one, he would run over and smell it, and would tell you what you had been eating the day before.

It was more then strange. Last i knew he went to be a car salesmen.

I wish I was addicted to something productive. Exercise maybe.

Instead I escape with my good friends, internetz, television, and books.

There's nothing wrong with being addicted to books, Mr. Delano.

I was not making fun. Bring your livestock over. I have a real problem.

Twinkies.

OH GOD!! When will it stop????

And at times, those canned pickled garlic cloves.

After a lot of struggling I was finally able to get past the Bryers chocolate ice cream but still have many other struggles to overcome.

Those cajun trail mixes are another....Oh....I have to go eat something now.

I appreciate that very much. I also appreciate all the kind words and encouragement a lot of you have given me. I get a little emotional at times and it is good to get things off my chest ( not many people to talk to around here ). I wish you the best 58 in conquering your addiction, I know it's not easy. I do have a problem with living in the past and feeling sorry sometimes, but that is such a waste of time. Anyways, thanks a lot Floppy :) very kind words in deed my friend.

hope all is well

Looks like Chiefbowe is back.

just the guy that needs to be in this thread

Energy drinks, last May was my last one. I quit bc I downed two XXL Monsters before work. It was about 106 degrees that day and I went through some rough shit. I quit because I know luck was on my side that day and it wouldn't be pretty if it wasn't. That summer went pretty good after I quit, never thought about going back. Working in the Oilfields you have to be somewhat cautious of what you eat and drink.

That is some of the worst shit you can put in your body...

It literally can kill you if you have underlying medical conditions you aren't aware of.

You'd be better off railing an 8ball.
