That is amazing. I think you should be more than proud of your accomplishments. It's hard to break gambling habits. I know I have been there but not everyone is actually capable of comeing through it like you have, so that is something to smile about.

I know it was hard for you to not do it. Just to know that you were in the area of where watches were being sold, had to been a doozy. But you should be proud of yourself inmore ways than one. You have the self will.

I think it all started with me wanting to break my addiction. I really didn't have any one to support me but I felt that it all started with myself you know. If I didn't want it then it wouldn't matter who else wanted it for me.

Smoking is a very hard habit to break but when you do break it, it feels really good. It took me hundreds of dollars wasted to realize that I needed to stop playing and quit. I would buy a pack of cigerattes, smoke one and throw the rest away. I mean I actually have lost count in how much money has gone down the drain.

Well all I can say is take him to prom but after that drop him. The one thing you have to understand is that you an't want something for someone else. They have to want it for themselves. He may not be the college type of person. School is not for everyone. I mean he did drop out of highschool so for him to go to college, would be like hmmm. So let him find his way and if its not meant, you guys will part ways mutually, I promise.

That is so true you have to know that you have a problem. You have to tell yourself this to ever get and or find progress in your challenge of changing. First step is admittance.

I don't see anything wrong with good addictions. Addictions that can't harm you. Thats better than having other addictions that can hurt you. I have many of those types of addictions.

This is a way for her to express her anger, frustration because she obviously don't know how to do it any other way so how can you stop it though? You probably can't do it.

Not only that you want to show them as well. You dont want to talk about how bad it is to drink or smoke but you do it every day. You have to be an example.

I'm addicted to buying shoes. I have to buy shoes once a week, its just something that I have to do when it comes to me. I don't have to have an outfit to go with it but if its a shoe I like I will buy it even if I'm broke.

I can agree with that to some extent. For some though, its a real sickness something that can't be controlled because their chemicals just won't balance themselves. We have to understand that once you get used to a certain state of mind thats where you get comfortable being. Our thoughts control our health wether you believe it or not.

I'm detoxing my body at this time and it is very hard to stop doing things that you used to do everyday. It makes my day go by so slow because all I think about is what I used to do. I want to become alot more healthier so I have to force myself to break my body down and break my habits.

I wouldn't waste my time trying to raise a man. This is something he has to deal with and do on his own if he isn't willing to except guidance. I be darn if someone holds me back and doesn't help "us" prevail together. Not worth it to me.

You know Im not the best person with money either but I mean I will pay my bills on time and make sure that everything is in order but after that I will happily go out and buy things just because I can and not feel bad about it at all.

Wow I guess I'm not alone at all. I feel out of place if I am sitting at home and my home isn't clean. I wake up and do the same ritual. I make the beds, clean the bathrooms and vacuum. I can't leave a dish in the sick over night because if I do It will drive me crazy. I wash cloths everyday because I hate for cloths to pile up in the basket. It doesn't bother me because I would rather be clean than nasty.

hmmmmm, girl family is family. Not everyone has a picture perfect family. You love your family and there is nothing wrong with that at all. There is no need for you to stay away from them if being around them is what you want to do.

This is a true addiction that I have, I have to take three showers a day.One in the morning, one in the afternoon and one at night before I go to bed. I'm trying to break this habit but its so hard because I just won't feel clean if I dont take a shower this many times throughout the day.

Well I use to smoke marijuana every single day. It was something that I use to do with no problem but I realized that smoking did nothing but alter my chemical balance and after a couple of days I would become dpressed and mean. So I figured out what it was and it was marijuana.

I use to be addicted to tylenol pm's once upon a time. My mother use to hide them uner her matress all the time and I use to watch her pop them every single day. Thats where my addiction came from but those use to make me crabby and mean and plus I didn't want my liver to be destroyed from taking them so I stopped.

That is true it doesn't people mistake addiction to depression but for most it is the case. SOrry to say. People try to numb themselves with drugs which is never good because thats how you end up trying harder drugs as your problems get worse.

That is something to think about. You may also want to talk to them about how you are feeling. If you continue to bottle this up inside you may blow up and thats not what you want. You should consider talking about it.

Nope doesn't make my skin dry because I always oil my skin with baby oil right out the shower. Without drying off. So that way I never get dry.
