Horses, and if I hurt myself one more time in a fall it will be bicycles next.
Oh & sport fucking. Too old for that shite.

caring and empathy.]

I gave up playing basketball years ago, and looking back I wasted way too much time playing in High School and beyond. I could have used that time so much better.

I used to be addicted to the Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around.

Isn't that what its all about?

Smoking, and I’m so glad I quit. I can’t stand the smell of cigarettes and wonder how I ever thought it was cool. Now everybody vapes.

I just stopped worrying as it did no good.

I stopped stalking Sofia Vergara after the restraining order.

A couple:

-When younger, I was much more of a "thing" person. House, car, all the stuff. No longer, long, long past. I became a minimalist before minimalism became a thing. I've grown......

-Alcohol. I never had a drinking problem, though I do like to drink. I still like to, however, I do so rarely. Fitness and health and more important to me, and the benefits I get as a healthy, medicine-free 63 year old are worth it. Since mid-June, I've had alcohol one time, and that was a "special exception" with my best cigar buddy.

I used to play minesweeper for hours. What a waste of time.

I used to ski all the time. Then I moved away from any decent mountains. I miss it so much. I want to arrange a trip this winter.

Collecting
Smoking cigarettes ( for my 30th birthday)

Gambling was something I ditched not before time.
I used to play chess for a club and county but was very time consuming and would involve me driving. There was always a drink either after or during the game and though I would limit myself to just 2.that rule got bent too often, In the end it it was the winning that I craved more than the game itself. Winning is a drug and as such is addictive. Though I recommend those most people try it at least once.

Not I..all my life, if I found I was becoming addicted to anything in the least way, I stopped immediately..even drinking Haitian coffee.

Saturation seems to be an effective way for me to deal with obsessions. Video Games, Work, Gambling, Smoking, when I've had enough, I'm ready to really let go. I don't know if it works that way for anyone else. It doesn't seem to. A lot of people I know seem to have to wreck their lives before they reach that saturation point. So, maybe it is just me??
