Quote from: rdadQuote from: brettleesQuote from: Scowick651413Addiction, 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.Observe the user that is contemplating quitting but would rather quit tomorrow or next week. You see, 72 hours of physical withdrawal is nothing to the user because the user has been managing physical withdrawal symptoms the entire duration of the addiction. What is scary? Can the addict fundamentally change his/her Self-Identity? Can the addict quit for the rest of his/her life? Quit for the rest of your life? How is that possible? These notions can scare a potential quitter into choosing addiction over freedom.There is good news. 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 month’s exams. Do not worry about Tuesday’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.Sage words, yet again. newer quitters, this man has some great things to say, in case you aren't yet familiar with him.I'm inspired to add a though too-- it struck me that the addiction came on one day at a time too. When we started in no way did we conceive of what a stranglehold the poison would have on us, destroying our physical health, self esteem, hijacking the most basic emotional hardwiring in our brains, etc. That being the case, it only makes sense that the recovery and healing can only happen one day at a time too. The tendency to jump to big timeframes, much less a lifetime, is just plain illogical and wrong, given how we got to where we are. And finally, i can say that one day at a time has worked very well so far for me. Guy like you Scowick give me confidence that the enjoyment i'm getting from stacking up the days one at a time will only continue. Thanks! If everyone would read, understand, and follow what these two guys try to teach us....there would not be any cavers. Quiet, inspirational leadership. I'll follow you guys everyday. ODAAT.Correction just as indicated previously we can teach and provide advice but never can we get quitters to "get it". However, these two swing big quit sticks.
