^Indeed. I admit that I've got things in order but I also recognize that the opportunities I've had and taken advantage of are by no means available to everyone, and it is an occasional source of consternation in my life and why I try and approach my dealings with all other people in an understanding and patient manner. Furthermore when it comes to addiction I am just lucky that it really hasn't ever hit me. Maybe it's because I try and appreciate bad feelings as part of the human experience and when I feel really upset I embrace the feeling and analyze it as opposed to attempt to escape it? Who the hell really knows though haha. Maybe I'm just a psychopath who happens to be able to feel just the good emotions 
I find addiction such an interesting subject as it is such illogical behaviour. Not that humans are inherently logical beings of course, but you think they would be able to break the viscous circle if they just managed to look at it from an objective point of view. Yet clearly it's not that easy, and I try and understand why and know that it has to do with reward systems in the brain and such but having not experienced it I can't comprehend it which makes it so fascinating. I mean people get just as addicted to eating too much food as powerful drugs. Even fucking children who should be as happy as clams for gods sake.
I'm reminded of a show I saw on TV a few years ago of a guy who weighed 500 lbs, worked hard for 2 years and got down to his goal weight of 200, celebrated that night by having a cheeseburger, and a year later weighed 600lbs. I honestly don't understand :S
Anyways it seems to me gavtron@oz, that you have a pretty good understanding of where you are in life, where you want to be, and what it will take to get there. That's a lot more than most people can say and that's a good thing
. The Dark Side is a great place for support on dealing with monkeys and HL is always nice if you want to talk about the joys of eating Bananas.
Haha see you round!
