New Addictions?
Greetings All,
I have a question for all of you. I know that the risk of gaining new (and often times unhealthy) addicitons is part of the deal here for many. I am curious if you have any.
I seem to have been glued to the computer (here and elsewhere) a little too much for my liking and that is why i all but disappeared for a while.
Have any of you got any new addictions you wish to discuss? I need a healthier option and although excersize is ok I will probably never get that addiction bug. *SMILES*
I am just curious if anyone else is experienceing something new that they did not used to do??

I think some of it has to do with winter but I find myself on the computer more than before. Years ago when I had the computer bug it was for online dating. I am also watching more TV than ever before, that's never been my thing and now that I got hooked on a few programs I tend to watch more. These are not habits I wish to cultivate long term!
I am working on my exercise addiction. And once it warms up my garden will be calling for me.
Wellll, spending can be a problem for me $80 at Walmart, $100 at Ross, it all adds up. I am trying to be very aware of this and just trying to stay out of the stores. I attended a funeral of a really special lady, someone I had known since I was a teen. I cried through the funeral, had to leave the reception and cried all the way home and to sleep. I noticed everyone including close family memebers with huge plates of food, seeking comfort of course. I didn't have the option (one month out). I really had to just feel my feelings!!! I was aware of how strong my feelings were that day and I just let myself feel them. I know that that is a healthy good thing and was even grateful that I was able to feel and deal without food. God bless your journey. J.Marie
