im not a true addict....however i know certain 'rituals' seem to carry mental expectations for me. like vacations, traditions, special times that roll around once a year. i can almost break a daily routined 'bad habit' quicker cause im on top of it all the time; more aware or concious....either that or im 'pricked' by it more often when i screw up. but vacation times i get in an 'entitled' mode. "after all its vacation".......etc. it can be a deceiving, for me.
