Addiction

November 28, 2003

Fay, I also am a popcorn addict. I have been able to get it out of the house.

When I go to the supermarket, sometimes I have stood in front of the popcorn

talking to myself for 5 minutes, sometimes I walk away, sometimes I come back.

Every rationalization I ever used when I was MO I use now. Sometimes I give in.

Usually when that happens, the stuff is on sale, and I get the small one-serving

bags. So that's how I rationalize it. But sometimes I am able to simply not buy

it. I can't tell you exactly what I'm saying to myself that gets me past that

moment... and I would never even have had a second thought if I were still MO.

So I feel that I have some kind of strength now that I didn't have before, and I

have to believe in it. I wish it would grow in me.

Re: need to vent this sad, helpless feeling

I just read this wonderful thread. You ladies are so wise. I just woke up

from a short sleep determine to detox from my popcorn habit. Last night I made

popcorn after being so full from dinner, such an addict, half way through the

bag I threw up and then proceeded to finish the bag. Now this perfect thread

to reinforce me. I am doing this one minute at a time, one hour at a time.

I know everyone is there with me and I appreciate it. My plan, pickles and

gum.
