Everyone's advice here is good.. some examples;

Quote:
ANGIE: I love desires. Desire feels very good to me. Like the happy, ripe, childlike anticipation of all the wonderfully abundant delicious experiences I fully expect and accept, every day, every moment.

Another suggestion is to examine your desires deeply for your inner truth: what is it you will really have if you have what you think you lack? Keep asking that question, unconcealing more and more layers of your desire until you reach your heart's desire -- the quality, condition, or value that inspires you deep within the more apparent surface desire.
I like how Angie thinks!

Quote:
Jennihul: desire is our purpose in life ... Desire itself is not a bad thing.
I think Jennihul is right: you can't outright escape desire...


Also you can consider that the wanting to be rid of the desire you have- is a desire itself...

Satisfaction usually come from fullfilling a desire... you enjoy the taste and sensation of an ice-cool drink on a hot, muggy day because of desire.....

Use desire to accomplish what you want, to experience what you want, to move you from one point in your life to the next... desire is the seed by which you give birth to what you want.... who you want to be, how you want to think....

Actually your post and the poster's advice gave me something to think of....
