All this absolutism is evangelical AA type "you have a disease" nonsense. Just focus on the 99.95% uptime you've had so far ;) You've shaken the evil chemical addiction after three or so days (I've read somewhere so it must be true), now it's the cognitive addiction. As you've noticed, removing yourself from your desk has removed an anchor, now work at removing the other triggers from your life. Used to smoke in the car? Exchange yours for one with a white interior that's never been smoked in! And so on. Well done so far though, we're all rooting for you :) Ron,
