5 step program.....

to quit the hobby.....please advise terbites

what I do sometimes:

- keep track of your expenses, this way you can see how much your actually spending (you may not realize how much you spend in a month/year)

- don't visit websites that encourage you (the Lounge @ terb is fine)

- get re-aquainted with your right hand (or your left)

if you can survive the 3-day hump, then you should be fine

I found what worked best for me was getting a sex crazed girlfriend (helpful that she's hot and sexy). At 40 I can barely keep up with her. Now I only call SPs when we're apart (like traveling).

Thanks good program! Now I just gotta commit and execute! <gulp> lordy lordy lordy

1. Try to quit cold turkey, don't do it gradually.

2. If you fall off the wagon once, negatively reinforce that behavior. Perhaps tie a rubber band around Mr. Johnson, pull and -snap- three times. Of course, if that's your thing, it isn't negative reinforcement, try something else equally punitive. However, you must not mentally allow yourself the freedom to fall off the wagon even once.

3. Direct your salary or other cashflow automatically into long-term-deposit RRSPs or similar instruments where it is difficult to get hold of your money.

4. Find a different, time-consuming physical hobby like weight-training, football, boxing, or a really expensive one like fine cars, antiques, art.

5. Stop reading TERB and other similar boards. Ask Fred to ban your IP. Make it hard for yourself to re-join. Find a different board that deals with your new hobby (see above) that will take up your online time, and be a really active participant there.

Good luck.



If all the above fail, don't worry... there'll always be a place for you here.

Step 6: Find yourself a girl. She'll make it harder to hobby.

1. Look like Brad Pitt
2. Talk like James Bond
3. Have money like Donald Trump
4. Have smarts like Einstein
5. Volunteer like Mother Theresa

You will no longer need to see SPs.

Of course, none of this is possible.

How much would a three day hump cost? Don't think I could afford that.
