Unsolicited but well-intentioned advice:

Neuro-Linguistic Programming

It's how I quit smoking and gave up sleeping pills. Any decent book on NLP can give you the basic techniques, but the original works by Bandler and Grinder are the best.

BTW, I thought I recognized a certain poofy-haired nerdgoddess sashaying up College Street today, as I waited for the traffic light in front of the Center for the Arts. I rolled down the window and yelled "Hey, Brittney!!!" at the top of my lungs from about a block away.

It wasn't you. Ooops.

My money is on smoking. Good luck, Miss Britt! (I'm so in now.)

;)

You should'nt be scared of life without it, but what your life will be like if you continue to do it.

Stay Strong! I LOVE You!

Coffee and Smokes?

Good God.......... you're not going to give up blogging, are you?

"thing thing"?

Seriously, no one who has never had to confront an addiction (either personally or vicariously) can appreciate the tenacity of their grip. Like most people, I've had my share of various minor obsessions/addictions, though for the most part I've accepted--even embraced--my few remaining addictions. But I've also been affected by the serious addictions of others, and despite our cultural affection for addictions there's nothing romantic or noble about them. Over the years I've watched helplessly as numerous friends have ruined their lives with alcohol. I've also tried--with little success--to rescue others from truly hellish addictions: heroin, crack, and various other powders and pills. To see a bright, talented person struggle to speak a few slurred words while nodding and drooling is bad enough. To watch the same scene play out day after day, year after year, is heartbreaking.

So I'm not sure what addiction(s) you're dealing with, but please know that you are not alone. First you must believe in yourself, and then (even harder) you have to be able to ask for help from others, and have faith that things will get better.

Aw, shit. You've been reading my copy for too long.

Have fun, be safe.

What are you not doing?

I decided to stop drinking for while. Not so hard yet, but it's only been two days.

You're talking about frames again, aren't you.

God.

So fucking dramatic.
