i have not put that poison in my mouth since Saturday July 13th and do not plan to do so again. thankyou everyone for helping me
Good that you are not planning a cave, but will not is a better mindset than do not plan to... I know what you ment but it helps to fight mind games with mindsets.
Damn good point B-lo, when I went to bed I was thinking about that statement too. But I wasnt quite sure what to say about it. I did not want to discourage baseball man here.
BBM, I think what Matt is getting at here is this.
Failuring to plan is planning to fail. We have all heard that old saying, well it couldnt be more true on the subject of quitting.
You need a well thought out highly detailed quit plan. What are you gonna actively doto be CERTAIN that the poison doesnt land in you mouth again?? The craves will come, you will be tempted, you will be challenged, triggers will rock you when you least expect it.
Here is a start.
1. post roll early and keep your word
2. get numbers from your group and others
3. print, read the contract to cave, keep in wallet
4. stock up on fake, seeds, jerkey, atomic fireballs whatever
5. exercise and stay hydrated
6. reach out and make a few friends, texts are a life saver when triggers arise
7. update your intro periodically, these old addicts are anxious to help a quitter in need, and they advice they have to offer is from personal experience
8. etc
Keep up the great work BBM
