"The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken." -- Samuel Johnson

I have been reviewing my blog posts and found these quotes. I copied them into the blog, intending to come back and write about what got triggered. However, this rarely happened. Life just supercedes or, better yet, Life Just Happens.

I was a rehabiliholic from late 1992 through 2002.
I was addicted to carbohydrates off and on, all my life until 2003.

I am an on again/off again shopoholic.

I am addicted to buying computer software.
I am addicted to my Internet activities.

I am getting addicted to Diet sodas.
I am getting addicted to blogging and journaling.
