    As a sufferer of withdrawl from my favorite animated show, I have decided to compile a list of ways to deal with said problem.

    1. Eat well and stay hydrated. This is just common sense.

    2. While I understand how much the fans love this show, have outside interests as well.

    3. Observe fandom. If you choose to contribute, make sure to first observe some of the mistakes of the least desireable fanworks.

    4. Learn some Martial Arts skills. If you get free time, try to imagin what kind of Bending your practices best fit.

    5. Learn to use a type of weapon, and stick with your training. I've been working on Nunchaku, Twin Broadsword, Straightsword, Fans, and Bo Staff.

    6. If angry at the Nick producers, find a cheap doll of a Nick character you dislike and take out you frustrations on it. For instance, I blame reruns of new toons starring an annoyingly stupid piece of talking cheese and his starfish buddy, so I tie the dollies to a chord and work on quick strikes. When done, I let the family dogs use them as chew toys. (Repeat as neccessesary)

    Spongebob, anyone? --- I'm coping by drinking Jasmine tea for I, too, have been taught the ways of tea and failure.

    It's a well known medical fact that you can overcome an addiction by substituting a less powerful substance, i've started watching Dragonball z, possibly the most time consuming cartoon in existence. It takes around 40 episodes for the plot to advance in any way. It is just interesting enough to hold your attention and make you want to find out what happens but the story advances so slowly that by the time i finish the first story arc it will be avatar finale time!

    you could do that or smoke crack, either is good.

    Pick up a big tub of ice cream. Then just go ahead and pig out, you know you want to.

    Personally I suggest these excellently done shows to help curb your AWS: Firefly(great show) and Star Trek(I'm working on Enterprise now and will move onto NG once the magic of Avatar is over.)
