Whew! What a relief. There aren’t any more Q-tips in the house, I’ve been clean for 5 days now and my ears feel a whole lot better. One big pointer I have is: out of sight, out of mind. Get your addiction-inducing substance out of the house. Once you’ve lost your easy access, the cravings fade fairly quickly. I’m think I’m now poised to attack some of my other dependancies.
This isn’t something I really ever aspired to. But go figure, I checked the other day, and there I was. Not just number one, but number two as well! My name is quite common, and I haven’t launched my own site, so I’m partly impressed (a simple function of vanity), but mostly I’m uncomfortable with it. I didn’t authorize the text or the photos that appear. And this just makes it easier for old boyfriends or creepy stalkers to check up on me.
So there’s only the one box of Q-tips left. I swear that I will not buy another. Honestly, this whole business is a nightmare – I’m a total hypochondriac and I’ve become so preoccupied with my ears that I’m convinced my hearing’s worsened, that they hurt all the time…but I’m on the road to ear health.
