Day 365:
How does a year feel? Hard to quantify it I must say. It's not like having a new child, wife, job, or car. It is more like a brief pat on the back to having completed my apprenticeship. It's a nice feeling and I am proud of the fact that this is the longest I have quit my addiction. This is still uncharted water. I am not out of the woods yet. Any newbie or veteran alike that thinks reaching the HOF or a half comma or whatever point you're at is reason enough to slack the reigns is a fucking fool!
Don't you get it? Pride and a sense of accomplishment, if not held in check, can be the absolute biggest obstacle in you staying quit. Just get a little satisfied about where you're at in your quit and see if that bitch doesn't start whispering your name. Afterall, you've been quit for x number of days. You got this, you can handle this, right?
Wrong, fucking dead wrong! You and I are just as much addicts today as we were when we started this journey. There is no fucking magic destination marker that erases the addictive tendencies from our brains. It's who we are, addicts!
The key is to become addicted to life gentlemen! Get involved in your life! When we become selfless, we become so much more. That is why this site works. People you may never meet invest themselves in you. They invest themselves in the marriages, the lives of their significant other, their children, their career, their new found hobby. You get the idea. Use your tendency to become addicted to being a better you. And don't walk away from this site, ever!
I'll hunt your ass down, make you submit, and keep your addict ass quit! There is no room in our lives for half-assing anything! Be who you are supposed to be and take up the fight right here, right now with me!
