Dear New Quitter…

You will have to spend 3 days in hell before you escape from the trap you are in. There is no magic pill or amount of money that can change that fact. After 3 days, it gets better every day. Then, one day, you will wake up and not crave a chew. You are free. Then you can live, and, when you come to die, you can look yourself in the mirror and say that you lived. That you did not kill yourself.

Exercise got me out of the hole. I rode the living shit out of my bike and elliptical trainers. I also imagined myself re-entering the atmosphere in a flaming space capsule and approached it like I was a scientist outside my body looking at that fucked up dood who just quit – examining all the weird shit that was happening. Do whatever you have to do. Imagine your wife and kids at the dinner table with a total stranger who took your place after you were D-E-D, dead.

One day at a time. Nothing you had planned for tomorrow will be more important than this. Nothing.
