When I made my New Year’s Resolution, in my heart, I knew that like most everyone else I too would break my resolution. But I really did want to change my ways. I really did want to stop staying up late into the wee hours of the morning playing the Free Cell solitaire game on my computer. I feel lousy the next day with so little sleep even though I am retired and can lie around the next day doing nothing. Plus, afterwards, I always chastise myself for wasting all that time when I could be doing something more productive.
So sure enough, I broke my resolve last night and played game after game after game. I know I should stop. I should just turn off my computer. But I love the game and I am so good at it. In addition, each time I win, which is often the thrill of success is so exhilarating that I am motivated to play another game and another and another. I tell myself just one more. But that doesn’t work. I am truly addicted and can empathize with other people who are addicts and just can’t stop.
The only good thing I can say is that since January this is only the second time I broke my resolution. And I really, really, really hope that maybe I will keep my resolution for the rest of the year.
