Morning Ladies! I haven't written anything for almost a month? well better fix that. When I write it's mostly for myself, but feel free to comment. time to chime.
Everybody's quit is different. after all people are different. most of us have a similar path but walk differently, but end up in the same place. I guess I'm trying to say don't worry about other people. Just focus on yourself. the man (or woman) in the mirror. At first I thought this whole thing was about dipping, but in the process it has changed me to the core.
I was so focused, and enraged with all the idiots in this world. Believe me there are many. (Im a perfectionist) I lost focus of the one thing I can control, ME. I have gone from an angry man, to a more patient human being. The idiots are still there, but I have more important things to worry about. starting with not worrying.
Two weeks ago I lost it. On the side of the road in a deep depression crying like a baby. I was reaching out and texting my buddies, but felt so alone. All I could think of was Diesel. I was thinking about him and I started thinking I should go to the hospital. (depression runs in my family) My wife had called me like 12 times my phone was blowing up. After 30 min I decided to go home. My wife looked terrified. My son was scared shitless. I was at a new low.. emotionally exhausted. I decided to lay low for a bit thinking the site was messing with my head. I needed rest. I would post go.
After a bit I started to re-evaluate my quit and decided to take the simple advice that I was given.
1. Take what you need, leave what you don't. It is said so much I was thinking this is stupid. But sometimes the solution is very simple. If you don't like someone else's quit than ignore it. We're all accomplishing the same thing. I was too worried about everybody else, and not focusing on myself.
2. Exercise - When I was at my worst I would exercise like a madman. It has saved me and I'm feeling like a champ.
I have started to focus on the things that help me. Ignore those that don't. Focus on your own quit ladies, leave your neighbor alone, and have a wonderful day....
Hey -
ok am glad to see and hear that you are a king quitter in that Nov12 group, but am a little confused, concerned when I see something that you have written.
How how I agree and feel that is it so true that you should take what you need and leave the rest. This is the true test of being a person unto himself as it is analyzing everything that is happening to you and around you, and it is solely up to you and no one else, as to how you need to think, feel and act.
BUT - I have to disagree and be concerned when you say you will ignore others. I can say in my 97 days that there has been so much but never will I say that I will ignore it, as by ignoring it means that there is nothing I will take from it and that would be a big mistake. If there is something I don;t like, I do not ignore it, rather I learn from it and let it make my quit stronger.
So I hope this is what you meant, as if you did not I would take a little look back at it. As howerever assinine things may seem, you can learn from everything.
