Quitting is easy. Even Tom Scales goes days at a time without buying anything OM or Zuiko.

Not possible. As indicated, one of the symptoms of a classic Zuikodependent
is the need to hook others into the same addiction. There seems to be some
kind of vicarious (sadistic?) satisfaction in seeing others succumb to the
same malady (i.e., Zuikodependency). Furthermore, Tom, the classic excuse, "I
can quit any time I want to" is as meaningless for Zuikodependents as for
other types of dependencies. In other words, the "Nah...." response was a
foregone conclusion.  ;-)
