Okay all you 12 step folks out there, maybe it's time to get a program going here at allnurses.

I'll do a little homework on which step is which number and get back to you on this. There is something about making things right with those who were harmed by your addiction in there somewhere....

I plan on starting making restitution with DH tomorrow by taking him out for dinner and a cold one.

:cheers:

There might be a twelve step program for this.....if not, maybe a rehab in Malibu....

(move over Brittaney) Ha!

Well there's a patch, or gum, or po meds, or IM meds, or believe it or not, a cigarette for smoking cessation.

What would be available for AllNurses cessation? Actually I cannot condone cessation, how 'bout just cutting down? You know the rubber band trick for quitting smoking? You know, just give yourself a stinging SNAP whenever the desire becomes strong! In our case, we could put on our sleeping "eye masks" and whenever we are pulled toward the computer at odd hours of the night, give ourselves a big SNAP on the eye mask!

What do you think? Maybe I'll give it a try tonight. My luck, I'll give myself the SNAP and wabble in pain across the floor till I fall heavily onto my computer chair, peek out of the mask, and figure; well, since I'm here....
