For The Addicted From The Addicted: The No-No Song - Ringo Starr
Astrology in real life
Saturn is in Virgo and I learned recently I have to avoid sugar. I am off it a few weeks now and want to stay that way.
This song came to mind this morning and amused me so here it is for all you people out there who are trying to quit… anything.
What are you trying to quit?

I tried to give up coffee and white sugar this week and failed. In my experience when I want to give something up I just do (done it with drugs and alcohol) so I take it to mean that I don’t really want to yet - timing is everything I think.
I do admire you though Elsa and I know how good it feels to stay in the light. When I think about not drinking I just can’t get the grin off my face!
PS, My god, Ringo is gorgeous in this video! I really never knew…
I think a good deal of how you respond to Saturn probably depends on how well integrated and aspected it is in your natal chart. Yes, it can be a tough planet, but it’s probably being tough in your best interests most of the time.
Thanks for coming over to my blog earlier today, Elsa - and thanks for the intro to Astro Dispatch. It looks interesting - I’ll definitely be back here!
Trying to quit being afraid. Guess who has a root canal tomorrow?
But really, I am always paralyzed with fear and unable to do anything. This needs to stop.
I admit I’ve spent far too much time paying attention to warnings about my personal habits being bad for me. I’m learning to give up that worrying, and the results are pretty good so far…
Sugar and procrastination.
I was a Ringo girl.
no more coffee-3 days. the pain, the pain—but eating donuts helps lol-that’s for next month.
I always loved Ringo’s songs - thanks for this little ditty, I had forgotten all about it. Okay, I am trying to give up obsessive/negative thinking. I have been having out-loud conversations with myself in order to quit it, and it is just a matter of time before someone calls the proper authorities to see if I need help 
beena week since i last smoked. only had about seven out of the last pack i bought but i hate the roller coaster. need to be out of the woods.
it’s one of the first things i reach for when i get hit by anxiety. that’s the real problem, i guess…
sugar and caffeine here. results have been so-so :X
wyrdling– I just read David Sedaris’ When You Are Engulfed In Flames and the last chapter chronicled the end of his smoking. I thought it was pretty insightful if you’re interested; I got it from the library.
he said someone suggested that he carry around a baby food jar of water and ciggie butts to sniff whenever you had an overwhelming craving.
Jennifer, I’m right with you lately. And also I have to quit being lazy.
What aspects make you paralyzed with fear?
yehh, thanks for the ringo reminder. i’m also trying to give up sugar. and dairy and grains. i managed all through january but went off the track in mid february and now i’ve made myself feel pretty bad. any thoughts…astrologically speaking?
Overeating
Buying meals outside the house.
My NY resolution was to stop buying coffees from cafes and so far I’ve only broken that resolution about 5 times.
Doing something 5 times in 3 months instead of 5 times a week is essentially quitting for me. Hence I have 2 cigarettes a week and feel very much like a non-smoker.
I get bored with feeling addicted. Is that a Neptune/Mars thing???
My doctor told me last week that I had to stop drinking so much coffee. Aye yai yai… I’m putting it off until next Friday when my finals are complete. I bought some excedrine, and a pill splitter and I’m going to try to use that to wean myself down.
I don’t wanna!!!!
But, love the Ringo!
donederin– whenever I cut out coffee I wean off, just using less coffee each day to the same amount of water. then I just drink hot water.
satori - I have this all or nothing complex that makes anything gradual, like weaning, absolutely the hardest thing for me to do or understand. I’m just terribly terrified of the withdrawal pain and headaches. I’m also afraid of missing my little black buddy… My Dr. said “switch to decaf, it tastes just the same and will satisfy your need for the ‘coffee.’” I had to restrain myself from saying “are you f*ing CRAZY? nuh-uh!!!!”
It’s like I have to give up everything I cling to. Coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, bad relationships, recreational drugs, exercising myself into the ground. Coffee is that last vice to go.
yeah, I actually get that, but for some reason coffee is the only thing that doesn’t work that way for me. I think it’s a kwantity over kwality thing. I don’t get decaff. bleeeeeAH.
(keyboARD IS buggered)

Being an obnoxious asshole!
I was on top of it for a while, but the last two weeks or so I’ve been so reflexively ME-ME-ME-ME and post action realising what an asshole I’m being and its kind of driving me nuts. ‘Cause you can only apologize so many times.
