How I did it: I enrolled in a 5 week college course.The class was 2 hours a day, 5 days a week.I went to every class and worked diligently on my assignments.I got an A in the class.I now type 40-50 words per minute. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I accidentally left my pack of cigarettes at a friend's barbecue, and rather than going to buy more I decided to see how long I could go without buying another pack.I had no intention of quitting. It was more like a little experiment. Whenever I began craving a smoke, I realized that my mind would invariably say: "I need a cigarette".But my rational mind would counteract that thought with "No you don't, you just want one". I realized very… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I began writing in my journal again on a daily basis. This entailed: Getting a nice blank journal that I felt comfortable with (size, line spacing, color, etc.).I immediately broke it in by writing whatever came to mind at that moment, rather than "waiting for the perfect time" to start. I just dove in. This made it much easier for me to pick up the next day without premeditation as to what I was going to write.I began reading everyday by… Read how I did it…
I dropped out of high school when I was 16 because I was interested in “other” things.
I basically deemed myself incapable of a formal education based on my past experience of ditching school and spacing out in class.
This is not the case today.
I have a new found love for the classroom.
My desire for education has been ignited and I want to ride it all the way.
I have such an aversion to AA and NA and all those affiliated programs for my own personal experience-relatated reasons. None of which derive from particular experiences, per se, but rather from a core spiritual feeling that I am completely capable of overcoming anything I should desire to overcome…granted the correct and competent methods be adhered to. But, alas, no such method has seized my attention, and I’ve lost a former certainty that I can indeed overcome this without a more traditional method.
I just want to be free from the discomfort I feel when I’m sober without having to dedicate my life to daily meetings of saying I’m powerless over something I know I’m capable of gaining spiritual and human power over!
