    I’ve said for years, the one thing I envy of people quitting alcohol or other drugs, is the simplicity of the rules.

    In their case the rule is just “No”. At every time, place, or circumstance, no matter what, it’s just “No”.

    It would be so nice if food was that simple.

    My sister bought me a bunch of pastries for my birthday, and just left them in my refrigerator. Like seriously a problematic amount of pastries, that I had to schedule my days around. I work from home, and after a while, I just got used to deking into the fridge for a quick pastry. It was ridiculous, but also a lot of fun.

    Anyway, when those pastries finally ended, man… the jonesing I felt when I realised I couldn’t just reach for a pastry all of a sudden…

    Vegans tend to argue cheese addiction via casomorphins. I don’t believe its scientific consensus at all this point but I personally believe it’s addictive. It was easily the most difficult to rid out my diet.
