Re: [BardonPraxis] VOM attacks!!!!!

[Paul Condran <paulcondran@...>]

Hello Justin,

I hear what you're saying. I don't smoke, but I LOVE coffee and
appreciate it, and at one time I was addicted and needed to have one
(or more). Overcome the need so you can really enjoy it!

I still drink coffee, to ejnoy and appreciate it, but I don't have more
than one a day if I have one at all. If i ever feel I need one, I don't
have it no matter how tired. Perhaps you can do the same thing, smoke
only once a day, or on special occasions? Or change from cigarettes to
a pipe or papers, and make it more ritual like?

I suggest you persist at VOM, emotional distractions can be the loudest
and most challenging to overcome. I suggest you find a solution to your
addiction/enjoyment that you feel happy with and that works, then VOM
will be much easier.
