The Way To Quit – Nice Plan
Do you know the way to quit?
Hey Peeps.. Just jumping in to say hi. Wanted to let all you guys know how much I appreciate all the help I have been given by all of you on this site. I would have never made it to this point without you. Made some really great friends on here and as I get to know them I realize how much they are just like me. Trying to get thru this and help each other. Makes it even that much better for me. I know I have a long way to go and I am not cocky about my 65 days at all. Just st arting to come out of the fog and am realizing how many great people are on this site. And how many great tools are at our disposal.
The Way To Quit
If I can give any advice to any new guys it this… POST ROLL EVERY DAY... just with that act alone you are telling yourself and all these people trying to help you that you are not gonna use it today. You are respecting the site and the people who use it. Most of all you are respecting yourself. And you are putting a stamp on your brain for the day that says..” I PROMISED.. I cant cant let them or myself down today” IT WORKS!!!
CHAT, use it.. It’s the same principal… When you crave- get on chat and talk to whoever is there. They know what’s up and have no problem giving you tips and advice to keep you straight. These guys and gals know exactly what you are going thru…. more than your spouse or best buddy…Can’t tell you how many times I was craving really hard and raging on my family and instead of going to 7-11 I signed onto chat and these guys talked me down or let me know what I would be giving up with that trip to 7-11. And they kept me from hurting the feelings of my family for no reason.
NUMBERS, Get numbers from quitters here on the site that can help you if you get into a bind. Call ’em if you freak out and can’t find somebody on chat. Give them your number as well so they can call you if you don’t show up for roll..I know it seems weird giving your number to a stranger on the internet but, I have never had a problem with anyone I gave my number to on this site. Good people who want to help you!
CRAVES 65 days in i still get them all the time.. BE CAREFUL.. Craves can pop out at the weirdest times…. Today I had breakfast then went outside and waited for my wife to come out so we could run some errands… Sitting on the steps in front I was hit with a gnarly crave… This was the time.. all alone.. nobody there.. my normal time to plop in some dip and chill no problem till the wife came out… 65 days later and it’s still slapping me in the face.. Point is you have to go thru this stuff and learn how to fight it… over and over again. But it works… You get the gnarly cave after breakfast.. you remember your promise… you sign onto chat and they talk you down.. worked for me so far.
Don’t know why I am posting all this tonight. Maybe it’s the overwhelming feeling of gratitude to all of you who have helped me. Or maybe it’s from meeting some new guys who reminded me that I was just there a short time ago and maybe I can help them too..Either way just wanted to say thanks!! Myself, My wife and the rest of my family thanks you!!!
Please pardon my grammar…
Stay quit!!!
