Bad Habits

[indolikaa]

Mine is sunflower seeds. I can plow through a 16-ounce bag of shells in about 4 hours. I've decided that I've probably consumed 5,000 bags of seeds in my lifetime, and that's a conservative estimate.

And seeds just can't be enjoyed without an ice-cold six-pack of Coke.
Double-Whammy.

How about you?

Cigarettes. 'Nuff said. Twenty years worth. Still though, I get closer to quitting every day. Pepsi. About 4 a day. Finally, golf! I've played as many as 120 rounds a year. Still suck though. I'd rather play golf than do most anything else. Except maybe spend time with my family, although my wife plays too, so I get to go pretty often, and still spend time with her (if we can find a sitter!).

Tekkieman... me too... until about 15 weeks ago.... when driving to work smoking one of my 3 smokes during my 1 hr drive to the office I thought to myself that I wanted to see my one year old daughter grow up... Yea.. I know... BS reformed smokers.... go find a hypnotist...find the internal motivation (got kids.. that'll do it) and pick a day...

My bad habit C2C fun

DVD_Ripper - Yeah, my girl is 19 months, and I'd love to see her grow up! Since my wife got pregnant, I quit smoking in the house. That cut me down from 2 packs a day to one. I have (most) of the motivation, and there is a hypnotist in the area that does it for $90.00. Worth the money if it works. Pays for itself in the first month! If it works.

Of course, spending time at VideoHelp.com keeps me from going out for a smoke too! Think of all the money I could donate to Baldrick once I quit for good!

[DVD_Ripper]

Yea... I paid $140.00 and guy kinda sucked... it helped, but he was not great... I was an ******* (more so than normally) for about 10 days.

Habits are made and broken in 28 days and the drug will be out of your system in 72 hours...

Do, your wife will appreciate it too

I'm hopelessly addicted to OT Post Whoredom on Videohelp.com & Sprite. I have a mini fridge next to my computer stocked with 8 six packs of Sprite. And about 10 or 12 stacked at the side. I estimate about a six pack a day. I have a watercooler that sits on top of the minifridge and the only time I leave my computer is to go to work and to pee. My wife is glad we have other computers because she can barely get me off this one. Her best way currently is to say she's going shopping, and then leaves our son home alone with a poopie diaper. Somethings you have to break yourself away from to change a dirty diaper. The worst part is if I don't change him quickly, he pulls the diaper off and streaks the house. Not good when he's messed himself. We threw out a ton of his toys once because of an incident like that.

hate to burst your bubble tekkieman but no one can help you quit but you.

My friend has been trying to quit smoking for years...spent $1000's on this that or the other, even hypnotism...nothing worked. He also drank quite a bit and ate like cholesterol didn't exist.

He had a heart attack this past winter. One artery was 90% blocked, and 2 others were 50% blocked. He was actually dead for a little bit before the EMT's revived him...anyway, long story short...here's a man, 6'0" 300+ lbs been over weight his entire life, smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish and eats whatever the "experts" say is unhealthy. Had a heart attack. Here we are 6 months later, he and his wife quit smoking, he no longer drinks, he eats so healthy that I can't eat at his house, he exercises regularly and now weighs 240 lbs. and said he is going down to 225 which he hasn't seen since 7th grade. My friend is 44 years old.

Point being, until you make it a top priority...it won't happen. And once you make it your top priority you won't need any help...so save your money.

Not trying to be negative...just keeping it real.

That could always be your metric for when you spend too much time here - when your son is fingerpainting the walls with it and it isn't as important as reading the last OT post about the Olsen Twins

Well said northcat, and sound advice!

The worst was when I put my son on my lap and try to check my email this morning. He had an explosive diarreah that leaked out onto my leg. That'll get you going faster than a cup of coffee.

That's even worse than when your own explosive diarrhea leaks out all over while reading e-mail. I hate it when that happens

Or worse yet, when you're watching a movie at a friends house on his couch.

shit northcat, your friend is fat!! over 21 stone?! no wonder he had a heart attack, that's -more- than double my weight....
Even 225 pounds makes him a bit of a porker. damn.....

I meant to ask, has your friend had you back since then?

He lives in UT, so I don't visit too often. 8 hours is too long to drive more than 1 or 2 times a year. It'd be easier if gas prices were down around what they were when I first learned to drive. They were about $.20 less than half the price of today's gas. My father used to have a 64' Caddy convertible. He sold it when gas prices went above $.90 while stating he couldn't understand how anyone could afford gas costs that high. It was a nice car. BIG!, but very nice. It's now a major classic, but that thing sucked gas like a Sears wet/dry shop vac. It had a 35 gal. (factory option) tank on it and you could still watch the needle move quickly just from getting milk at the corner store. That think was longer than my dad's 3/4 ton Ram van. I miss the classic guzzlers.

His 35 gallon tank would cost $192 to fill in the UK.

Why do you guys put up with that shit? If gas were $5.50 a gallon here there would be riots and politicians would be lynched....

they're going to screw us out of the money somehow or other
There were blockades and protests about two years ago. what happened? prices have risen. this country is just fucked, i'm sure we're only a few years away from anarchy or a revolution.

Almost any type of carbonated drink. I can plow through a 24 pack of coke in no time. I prefer to have coke or pepsi w/ my meals instead of water. I used to be a big milk drinker but that's been cut down in the past few years.

[Doramius]

I'm waiting for the first person to admit they have an adiction to Rosey Palm. Who in OT spends more time with Lefty or righty than they do on the computer?

Who here has ever had an adiction to PBJ sandwiches when they were really little?
