Hi Pamjit - I just wrote a long rambling response to a post by tinabobina - it is right here current with your post. Check out the first part of it. A couple notes about planning and checking in with people.

Get excited to quit, and constantly remind yourself why you quit, and plan some accountability that isn't anonymously online.

Yeah, I think my biggest tip would be, well, you know how as addicts we tend to want what we want now? I mean speaking for me, it's like, I can't wait... So in recovery, I learn to be patient with my progess. I don't know, I've been clean and sober for years now, but I'm still a marijuana addict! I just don't use. Addiction is tricky, So I'd say focus on progress rather than perfection in every effort you make to change!

Loved1 has a great point! We became addicts partly because we lacked long-term vision and discipline. Addictions are tough and deep. To really quit, make it a priority EVERY DAY to give yourself positive reinforcement and to read inspirational literature or find a MA group. STAY AWAY from your dope friends. Tell them you quit. Put as much energy into quitting as you did into using.

How are you doing?
