Welcome aboard brother. Let me make a few observations based on my experience. First, this is different. This time its not an attempt. You have done it. You have quit. Second, as much as you can take inspiration from those around you to undertake this journey, you gotta want it for yourself. That's where the fight comes from. Its a battle to change yourself to be who you want to be. May be I over think this. May be my perspective is a little heavy. Take what you want from here. Leave the rest. The dime store philosophy is delivered by the buckets here. But there are some truths. These truths are wrapped up in the way we do it here.
1. Hit the welcome center in the upper left if you haven't already. That will give you the general playbook for how shit works here.
2. One of those plays is roll call. This is our neon lights of quit. This is you putting a stake in the ground claiming your territory. We quit one day at a time. For 24 hours. That's it. Anymore and folks start asking questions in their head. We post roll everyday. Early. Don't fuck with the program. You do it first thing. Can't get to a computer? Text or call a quit brother or sister. Don't got numbers? Dammit get some.
Where to post roll: June 2012How to post roll3. Read everything here. There is a fountain of knowledge that will assist you in this fight.
4. Get involved. The more you are involved the safer your quit. We all want to help but you gotta give it your best to warrant that help. Get involved.
5. Reach out. This is not easy. You've got to know that you are not alone here. There are a ton of folks that know exactly what you are going through. We are the tools to help but when shit hits the fan, you gotta tell us so we can help you. Get into chat. PM a brother or sister. Let someone know.
6. Come clean with folks around you. Make it real out there as well.
Let's get it on.
