That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Leftover deep-dish pizza (cheese with sausage).

That's what gave me food poisoning 2 weeks ago, and just reading that made my stomach churn. Guess I'll be staying away from deep dish for the foreseeable future.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hope you are feeling better, Sue, that sounds like an awful way to wake up.

but I would think that entitlement is part of the manifestation of the addiction, not the cause.

This is exactly what I'm getting at. He offered, as the reason for his behavior, his feeling of entitlement. I'm saying that if there's nothing else that caused his behavior, then he's not a sexual addict, he's a horse's patootie.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't know if you watched his speech, Sparky, and I am not defending Tiger, but he didn't offer any excuses. He specifically said that one of many problems was a feeling of entitlement - but he indicated it was wrong to feel that way.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I just saw a program the other day about a sex addict, and she talked about doing better with a preplanned daily schedule involving exercise, meditation, lots of focus on meal preparation and such with almost no contact with other people. She didn't mention work though, which made me wonder even if you're well-off enough to not need a job in your late 20s/early 30s, wouldn't the structure and productive use of time help keep you from getting bored and going out cruising for "fun"?

Punishingly Intricate

I had a 1/2 egg salad and salad and utz from the deli downstairs. I should have brought a sandwich from home. I had the makings for one but stayed in bed too long. My sandwich would have been much better and I wouldn't have been tempted to get the chips. bleh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The wikipedia entry for sexual addiction is pretty interesting. Needless to say, there's professional dissent about whether or not it exists, or if it's related to OCD.

They don't say much about rehab.

The anti-nausea meds kicked in enough to make breakfast possible, although not pleasant. I can't think far enough ahead to lunch.

Data issues person has not replied to my email, and has put up "do not disturb" on their IM. Hrrmph. Big sticking point in what I need to take care of today.

I'm having Spaghettios for lunch. Sometimes you just need to hunch over a bowl of spaghettios and forget you're a responsible grown-up.
