BF - There is nothing wrong with having needs/desires. The problem comes when you let desire have its way with you.

EXACTLY.

I've written this to Cemar so many times. It is true for ANY desire. When a desire begins to control you, that is when you know you have a problem.

For me, I love coffee but a couple of times a year I will give it up when I see I am relying on it too much and I start feeling like I NEED to have a cup of coffee in the morning rather than WANT a cup of coffee in the morning. My XMIL used to ask when we were down for breakfast "Are you drinking coffee this week?"
