100 days ago I started a journey to gain my freedom from a 15 year oppressor. The journey has been long and has had it's ups and downs, but I have always had my brothers beside me. To name everyone that helped me along the way would be a lot to type and read, but thank you to all my brothers for keeping me accountable and on the straight and narrow.
As I look back, there are many things that distracted me from my quit. Life issues, quit symptoms, apathy and in general the "I don't care's". Whenever I lost my quit focus I would log on and get a prescription from my brothers. Usually they would diagnose the problem and prescribe me a dose of "man the fuck up and quit".
Being able to focus on the following things will help you maintain a successful quit:
1. Focus on posting roll
2. Focus on keeping your promise
3. Focus on one day at a time
4. Focus on your long term goals (i.e. 100 days, 200 days....etc.)
5. Focus on helping your quit brothers
6. Focus on keeping that shit out of your lip
7. Focus on freedom
8. Focus on the savings
9. Focus on the health risks
10. Focus on the health benefits
I've been asked by a few friends and family members how I was able to quit. The answer is simple, I have all of my brothers to help keep me focused.
My journey is not over and in the grand scheme of things it has just begun, but I am proud to be continuing on this path with my brothers of quit.
