Yes that would be much better
I probably shouldn't be talking about cakes, I've been cake-free for 2 months now. But my sponsor thinks the more I talk about it the better. Cravings have reduced quite a bit, though I find I'm smoking more to compensate. Small price to pay I suppose.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

Thanks for the new avatar Marco, this pic was for your eyes only, and a few select friends. Now you've made it public, how will I ever be able to show my face at the Masonic lodge? I'm not even a full member yet.

The twelfth step is the hardest, where you have to go round and apologise to everyone for eating their cakes.Originally Posted by Pigmy Pony

Myself I was on the wagon for two years until I had some bad news one day and I ate an entire Cadbury's Flake cake. I was halfway through it before I even realised what I was doing. It's that fresh dairy cream. You never really lose the craving for it.
The vet gave me a scrip so I'm back down to two chocolate eclairs a day. Feeling strong enough now that I think I can cut down it to one by the end of the month.

Thank you for sharing. A truly inspirational story.
Apart from a few small consequences, like ridicule, obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, teeth falling out, ours is a relatively benign addiction unlike the big four (alcohol, gambling, hard drugs, hi fi collecting) - these are the ones that wreck lives, so we should count ourselves lucky.

I love it! The “Big Four”! Thankfully I’ve never done any gambling.

I don’t quite know what to say about this, so I’m just leaving it here. The caption did say it was fully functional. So where does one buy the tiny records?

Amazon(ian Shrunken Heads). The catalogue is quite small, but they've just added "Giant" by Rag 'n' Bone Man/Calvin Harris. Gonna be huge.
