As far as drugs and drink, humans can become slaves to inanimate objects. Sad but very true statement. Think about smokers. I quit in march, so I don't want to hear any "you've never been there" comments. Withdrawl is an absolute bitch, but for 7 years I enjoyed hurting my body and defended my actions violently. After a while I admitted that I was doing something not too good for my body, but still wouldn't stop, because I just plain didn't want to. I tried quitting 5 other times with varying degrees of success. Only when my wife, who smoked as well, decided to quit and told me that if I didn't that it would make her feel like I was not supporting her if I didn't did I decide to try again, this time with the help of Zyban (which is actually Wellbutrin, an antidepressant... a side effect is the reduced affect of nicotine on the brain). As far as waking up at a prescribed time or holding a good work ethic, in my opinion that's a result of the way we were raised. I was always taught to work hard and work often. I guess with different ways of raising kids and different examples being set, not all kids (and adults) get the same values as I had growing up. It was amazing when I worked in retail to see how few people today have what can be considered a good work ethic. Happy Sunday, folks, and Happy Holidays to all!
