My grandfather is awesome in that way. He decided one day to stop smoking. He didn’t quit, he would always say “I can have a cigarette any time I want to, I just don’t want to.”
Because he didn’t quit, he wasn’t “denying himself,” and has been able to not smoke for decades.
I couldn’t walk away either… until I became lactose intolerant. After six months to a year of colon attacks every freakin’ week, it suddenly becomes very easy to walk away from ice cream…
…of course, now that I’ve found soy and rice ice cream, I’m back in business. 😉
Kevin may not be a doctor, and the general understanding of the dangers of fat may have advanced a lot since 2005, but really anyone should be able to figure out if your lower arms are wider than your waist an ice cream cone is not going to cause you problems.
I’m not an addict. I can walk away anytime I want.
Only thing is, I never seem to want to…

`Sounds like one of those rare people who are actually IMMUNE to nicotine addiction.

It’s like how I’ve said NO to alcohol so many times over the years… the only problem is, the alcohol didn’t listen.
