As it happens, I have an interesting experience of freeing myself from the addiction to eating meat. It happened during the “Pure June” campaign, more than ten years ago. I was about 20 or 21. I took part in the campaign. I was absolutely sure that I could go without meat for one month because previously I had easily gone without meat for three to five months at a time (but that abstinence was not freedom from my dependence on meat). In my mind, I still often wanted to eat meat and, moreover, I enjoyed eating it. So I took part in the “Pure June” campaign and broke that vow. That June, I ate meat once. I don't know, perhaps it was the will of Higher Powers. But that incident affected me very deeply. I began to look more deeply into myself to understand what I was doing wrong. I also promised myself that, in exchange for breaking the vow, I would give up eating meat forever as soon as possible. And that is exactly what happened. After that campaign, which I had failed, I ate meat two or three times over the next one or two years, and it was very unpleasant for me to eat it. These were completely different sensations, with no pleasure from eating meat at all. And as I said here before, I have not eaten meat for more than ten years now, for natural reasons. I simply find meat repulsive. And the more time passed, the more horrible and unpleasant eating meat seemed to me. I wish I could convey this feeling to someone else, even for a minute. I think it would be useful for meat eaters. Now it seems impossible to me that I would voluntarily take something made of meat and eat it. It seems like such terrifying madness to me.
