. It's been a long year for sure. I'm hopeful #2 is more downhill for all of us. At a year I felt the same as I did 6 months before, but it's just been in the last 2 weeks or so that I've noticed I haven't been measuring my satisfaction level with that of a smoke. Time will tell if the worst is behind me, but I used to worry that I'd be like TB and spend all my waking hours pursuing whatever would quench my nic cravings...like a big ol' anteater spending its days rooting out logs for tiny little bugs to fill a big appetite. Not only is it not like that currently, but I go long periods without any cravings. I definitely haven't felt ruled by nicotine lately, so I think if we hang in there it does indeed get better. I doubt we can ever live crave-free, but as a recovering alcoholic I can say on the rare occasion that a shot of Wild Turkey sounds like the only thing to keep the world in balance, it's not 30 seconds later my mind is on to other things. Although I admit, I still have that year old stale pack of smokes in my truck to ward off a panic attack. Voodoo...maybe So what you're saying TV is that there might actually be a tiny light at the end of the tunnel? Now if I could just find the entrance.
Truly I say Grasshopper, walk towards the light. Or you might try being strapped in a chair with your eyes mechanically held open (saw that in Clockwork Orange while I was stoned....wow...) and forced to watch movies on Lifetime every time you have a smoke urge for a month.
On the subject of the demise of self-responsibility:
Judge: McDonald's must pay obese employee $17.5K - Health - msnbc.com
The 32-year-old man said he felt forced to sample the food each day to ensure quality standards remained high, because McDonald's hired "mystery clients" to randomly visit restaurants and report on the food, service and cleanliness.
The man also said the company offered free lunches to employees, adding to his caloric intake while on the job. His identity was not released.
Will these judges ever go away? But I guess our future nanny state would depend on 'em, though. Does anyone know if we have a emoticon representing my head banging on the desk??
TV, Sorry, I retired 7 years 11 months and 1 week ago today. I vowed to never work again, but I do do volunteer work. Now if you need someone to make sure that the environmental conditions are met in the "interrogation room" for the biggest ASH in the organization something could be worked out. I could insure that the SHS tubes running into the room were operating properly and that the constant supply of Big Macs were pushed through the food door to the Big man at feeding time.
I'll also insure that the sound system is operational and the sound bites gathered of his tirates about said SHS and McDonalds were constantly blasted into the room. I figure we're talking a week, maybe two at the tops until he goes totally insane since he appears to be more than 90% of the way there already.
.Ok guys. I'm done with my workout and ready for that chair. I better get my refreshments ready for the lifetime movies.
