I should add, I did go through ‘steps’ to retrain myself - I work in kitchens and am constantly around bacon in whichever forms and incarnations. I forced myself to start nibbling on it, from time to time. There’s no way a guy, a certified chef, an epicure, can go through life having a mental aversion to bacon, of all things. It wasn’t long after I started retraining my mind that I was able to eat and enjoy a BLT again. But, it was a matter of years before I could. In fact, I just had and TRULY enjoyed a full on BLT sammich in the identical form of the ‘offensive’ one, last week.
Like Malcolm McDowell said in Clockwork Orange - I AM cured!
The mind is a powerful thing. And it’s all in your mindset.
