I think it is like an allergy, certain people respond differently, just like how some people can drink 3 beers and easily stop for the night and others cannot.

I also think it's strange how some people can take it or leave and others (like me) just go overboard on p and can't stop. For me I think it is a coping mechanism of sorts, before the internet came along I used to be able judge my happiness by how big my stack of mags was.

I've often thought about this too. I think some people have very addictive personalities while others can show great discipline. For example if theres chocolate around, I've very likely to eat the whole lot, and wouldn't be disciplined enough to save some for later. I am hoping my fight against P not only rids me of that evil, but also teaches me some discipline in general.


When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful.... a miracle. Oh it was beautiful, magical.
