I'm not sure what triggered me to post that. I do love that book, though. It's for a certain behavior, but it applies to anything that threatens our well-being. I don't think dark chocolate, whatever sex interests you, even a little shopping trip pose a threat. Those are simple pleasures, and if they satisfy, what harm? Maybe you meant, there are worse things than 'guilty' little pleasures. That's mindfulness. Self destruction usually comes out of nowhere. We think.
