Addict thinking as applied to pints of ice cream
From a recent email conversation:
"and i got like 3/4 of the way through it and thought, "i'm full, i should put the rest away", but then i thought that what was left wasn't enough for a full helping next time, and i didn't want my future self to be disappointed in how little ice cream was left, so i ate it."
You tell that story to an alkie/addict, and they will know exactly what you're talking about.

What if you just never even got to the "I'm full, I *should* put it away" thought? Does that make you an uber addict? 'Cause that'd have been me with a pint of ice cream.

I think it applies to any obsessive/compulsive.
And if it's Brocato's, then all bets are off.

Eh, I dunno ashley, the compulsive in me likes clothes better than ice cream, and will eat exactly half of the stupid pint.
