I feel like I am going through withdrawal.  Sheila will be happy when she reads this because I am announcing that I am trying to overcome my habit of watching wrestling.  It is usually a Monday night staple and often on Fridays too.  But tonight I just made the decision to quit cold turkey.  It wasn't easy.  I really had become (should I say accustomed or should I say addicted?) used to watching it.  It wasn't all bad because I often did my hour of exercise at the same time.  Tonight I made it through, but I felt the pangs or desires to just turn to it for a moment.  But I did not do it.  Sheila, I did not do it! I can't really say what it was that changed me.  There was no epiphany or anything like that.  It was simply that I made a choice and stuck to it even though I had thoughts to the contrary.  Do you have some habit that you hold on to that really isn't that bad?  Are you settling for something that is less then your privileges (as Pres. Uchtdorf would say)? If so, can I be your inspiration because is I can go cold turkey on this silly little pleasure you can too.  Besides, it isn't only o good thing to try and use my time in a better way, I believe that my wife will be pleased with my decision.  (That is, if I can stick to it and actually change this long standing behavior.)  (I did it now for one night and counting!)
