Re: [at-l] I'm A Pizzaholic

The answer is in your subject line Brother Scott: you've surrendered to
your higher power and acknowledged your powerlessness before the
Oven...You can try all the other Twelve-Steps, you can listen to those
who preach the methodone-school substitutes like "pita-bread", you can
go to the Dom-dependent meetings like I do ( no, not that kind ),
invariably held in a an abandoned strip-mall tattoo parlor next to the
Evil Oven Itself Who Was Formerly Free If Not Delivered In Thirty
Minutes Or Less, and come home with your clothes saturated with the
smoke of those fellow sufferers who must smoke their herbs and spices,
(talk about substitute addictions), but the only way to free yourself
from the slavery to the P-pie is to slowy wean yourself from the
individual ingredients: 
one at a time! Start with your favorite, be it sausage or pepperoni or
canadian bacon, and buy at least a weeks' worth of that one ingredient,
and that alone....eat nothing else for a week, then progress to your
next fav combinant, and so on, until you get down to the Ultimate
Temptation, the just baked bare crust, the foundation of your gustatory
dependence, the Final Step....eat it hot, eat it cold, eat it all
gone...until you acknowledge the power that its' crispiness has over
you! 
Then you'll be free: One Anchovie, no problem....An occasional bit of
pepperoni on your Subway: go for it...But you will have broken the spell
of Combinatorial Dependence! And best yet: you'll still have that $20 in
your pocket every Friday!
