I like the idea of Bio fuel, you can make a low octane fuel from all kinds of agricultural bi-products. We happen to be really good at agriculture

Read the Bible and pray first thing every day.\n\nThe impact varies but at least the habit expresses ones priorities.

It's called addiction. Addiction is a hard habit to break.First, you have to be willing to make a commitment to stop doing things that you know are harmful to you.Second, you need to learn self-discipline(telling yourself no)and Third,you need to pray and ask GOD to give you strength everyday so that you won't do the things that are harmful to you

I am sorry to say you can't. The only one that can make them stop is the person who is addicted. I know this from personal experience, I am addicted to cocaine--I haven't used in over a year, but even though I am clean I am not foolish enough to think that I can ever use again. Once an addict always an addict. I don't know who the person that you are referring too is, whether it be you or someone you love, I just wish you all the best because addiction in any form is very hard to overcome--but remember it CAN be done--I am proof of this. Good luck to you and God bless.

Yes - the oil companies are gouging - look at the record profits\n\nThe best way to deal with it is by switching to other fuels and reducing our use\n\nPrice is all supply and demand - If the demand is reduced the price will drop\n\nI changed my habits to drop half my mileage driven in a week and am still getting everything done - just fewer trips\n\nall of us together would make a major difference

You have a dependency. Dependency is characterized by an increase in your dosage to achieve the same effect-building a tolerance, during times of stress, using to help you cope, and having negative effects when you don't use it-withdrawl.\n\nSeeking professional help is the best advice. By breaking the habit, not only will you stop the damage being done to your body, but it will also increase your self esteem and relieve stress. Talking to a doctor is the best thing you can do. He can direct you to the help you need.\n\nI want you to understand that me, and everyone on Yahoo Answers who cares about their fellow human is behind you 110% percent. Joining a support group is something to increase your chances of success. Things will be tough. Withdrawl can seem worse than just dealing with the damage to your body. Trust, in the long run, things will be better.\n\nYou CAN do this. I believe in you.

YES it is all about oil. It will not change unless there is a revolution or Revelation. Our children will continue to DIE to support the "status quo" failed petroleum policy of GWB and Company.\n\nRead the White House energy policy signed by Dick Cheney. Not much about getting out of the Oil Economy here:\nhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/energy/summaries.pdf

Forget all the so-called special stuff that cost a fortune. Simply rely on the basics. Use something like Johnson's Baby Oil.\n\nAnd be gentle.  All of us know how to handle it.\n\nUse the head on your shoulders to do your thinking.

You can get psychologically addicted to anything that you enjoy.  Ice cream, potatoe chips, celery, sleeping, and yes, cannabis.  It has to do with enjoying something you do, and do, and do, and do, and do.  Try reading a little about dopamine.

There's no remedy for this addiction.  My husband has been drawn in by its siren call and I'm not far behind.  My only suggestion is to do your best to pump up your points level when you're not at work so that you're not constantly focused on it while you're supposed to be a functioning member of the business world.\n\nbut then again... screw it... I have to get to the next level!

Oil prices will never stop going up because we are running out of it. It goes up by about 2.6% each year.

Oh, it isn't easy.  Drink a lot of water, exercise, & get plenty of rest. Talk to your doctor if you need. I was addicted to prescription drugs and it is rough getting off.  Sometimes getting a different prescription for a week or so will help...but just temporary!  Will power and inner strength...you can do it!

The first step is recognizing that you're addicted.\nNow you have to watch your behavior. What provokes you (what pushes your buttons) so that you do whatever it is you're addicted to?  \nAnd what do you get out of your addiction? We don't do anything if we don't get something out of it.\nYou didn't say what your addiction is.  You might want to see a CDAC-a certified Drug and Addiction Counselor.  Even if it's not drugs or alcohol, these people can really help. I went to one for 11 months for eating.  Although I still don't feel like I have an eating addiction, she did show me ways I use food inappropriately.
