> [@914](#): > > What do you want to quit, jdsmith? That’s not important right now to discuss. It’s the actual physical stopping of something I’ve been wanting to stop for a while. Like learning a new behavior. It’s just one of those hairy little pimply things that have slipped by for years slightly under the radar or easily brushed aside. Anyway, it’s the process of quitting that interests me at this time, mainly because I’ve never been good at quitting things, replacing them with others maybe, but not consciously quitting. Anyway, off to bed. Peace ---

Sounds like a positive move anyways. When the going gets tough, you can always come back here and motivate yourself.(As in try to remember how you felt when you wrote those words…) Best of luck Sir. 🙂 bobepine Ps: Crap! Flounders only lasts 14 days… I’ll “bump” this one for you. 😉 ---

One Day at a time. And break that day up into quarters. So i guess its really one quarter of a day at a time. Works for me anyway. ---

> [@Ironman](#): > > [quote=“jdsmith”]Actually, I’m quite distracted by the miscommunication. Can you keep it up for 28 more days? 🙂 So, you’re distracted from “it” right now. You normally do “it” now, right?[/quote] No, but there is a comfort level of knowing that soon enough I will be able to do it, that is the bothersome part. Like I said before, this is behavior altering exercise. ---

Oddly enough, when you quit one thing, all the other things are pretty much the same. Kinda makes you wanna quit everything. Go figure… :loco: ---

27 days. I have noticed a hole in my usual behavior where the halted behavior used to be. I do catch myself starting to go into that behavior when the thought that I’ve strikes me. Somewhere I once read that it takes 7 days to alter a behavior. ---

> [@Mr He](#): > > But you don’t strike me as an alcoholic??? Well, I never said I was. 😉 But alcoholism runs deep in my family. However, it’s a dangerous thing having enough money to get as drunk as you want every night of the week. Know what I mean? 🕶 ---

JD, just keep up the good work, steer clear of alcohol for a month or so. If you have alcoholism running in your family, or the substance abuse gene, that is, then taking regular scheduled breaks from any vices, such as alcohol, tobacco etc. might be a good idea. Say 2-3 months every year. [Next page](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/i-did-quit-for-30-days-now-what/21461.md?page=2)
