Addiction

It's a good thing I bought into all those standards I learned in Young Women, because I have a pretty addictive personality. I'm pretty sure I'd be addicted to coffee and alcohol if I ever had had the chance to develop a taste for them.

Constant addictions for me include chocolate and more chocolate. Doing "useful" things on the computer before much more useful things like housework. Nail-biting.

Then there's the sporadic addictions that come in waves, like Facebook, which I'm currently not all that interested in. That one was displaced by my latest addiction to the new FamilySearch. And right now I'm trying to supplant my chocolate addiction with clementine oranges, but my mouth is starting to hurt from that one, so I'll probably go back to chocolate soon. Sometimes I'm addicted to gardening, then I move on to reading, sometimes it's my calling, sometimes it's cooking.

Will I ever get to a point where I can let go of an addiction, instead of just replacing it with another? Will I ever find moderation and consistency with all the good things in life?
