Addiction, Self-Identity and 1 Day at a Time.

Breaking the physical addiction to nic is simple. It is unpleasant, but simple, and only lasts 72 hours.

The psychological component to quitting is the real journey. Begin the journey by inventing a new self-identity. The Quitter.

Say, “I AM QUIT”.

You are not “quitting”. You are not “trying” to quit. You ARE quit. It is a state of being. The psychological term is “Identity Development”. There is no try, there is. It is now part of your identity. “Quit” is who you are.

There is good news friend. You do not have to quit for the rest of your life. Simply choose to quit today. Do not worry about baseball next March. Do not worry about next monthÂ’s exams. Do not worry about TuesdayÂ’s deadline. Quit today. The body will adjust. The psyche will adjust. You will gradually and often unnoticeably reinvent what it is to be you. You shall be restored one day at a time.

Listen up Mikeypillowfight. There is a whole bunch of things I need to educate you on. First, don't use the following terms with respect to quitting: hope, try, attempt, wish, luck.

Those terms are not for a man that owns his path. Those terms are for people who don't know what they want. You are not one of those people. You have quit. There is no try in this. You have quit. And all those previous periods of abstaining where just that because quit is quit.

CBGBird has quite a bit of solid info there. Read all that shit. Master this. Own this. You are not alone. But you gotta give it your best if you want it because its simple but ain't easy.
