My immediate family is full of addictions, and I'm happy to see you admit yours and have a plan to overcome it.

My father was a smoker and an alcoholic. My little sister is a heroin addict and a smoker. My mother gambles.

I've wondered what my addiction will be, or if I will have one. Maybe I'm addicted to exercise? The internet? I don't think I have a tendency toward addiction, because it has always been very easy to take a break from something I become heavily involved in. If I'm not feeling good, I take a few days off from exercising. If I'm busy, I don't touch my computer for a few days.

Maybe self awareness helps me overcome the tendency toward addiction? Hopefully your cycling and other fitness goals will help you overcome your addiction and replace it with a more healthy lifestyle!
