Chewie’s Hall of Fame Creed
I ran across a post on the official QuitNet Facebook page asking about quit mantras. Â It’s been a while since I thought about it, but I realized that I did in fact have a mantra that got me through quite a few difficult times during my quit. Â I managed to hunt it down and I wanted to share it here. Â Re-reading these words that I wrote so many years ago I realize that even though I’ve not thought about it in a while, the words still hold true today. Â This, along with my Decision To Quit Dipping, is what it’s all about for me.
Thanks to QuitNet for making me remember this… Â After all, we’re all just $5 and a bad decision away from our addiction.
Chewie’s Hall of Fame Creed
I promise to remember the first 2 weeks of my quit…
I promise to remember WHY I quit in the first place…
I promise to take things a day at a time…
I promise to recognize little successes…
I promise to post roll on a regular basis…
I promise to recognize those before me…
I promise to recognize that I have great friends on KillTheCan.org…
I promise to REMEMBER why those people are my friend and what brought us together…
I promise to have a way to get a hold of a brother and a way for others to get ahold of me (email, cell phone, etc.)
I promise that I won’t cave without getting permission from a quit brother…
I promise to recognize that there will always be a reason NOT to dip…
I promise to be there for a brother in need…
I promise that I won’t forget all I’ve gone through to get to where I am today.
Yes… the picture is Apollo Creed from the Rocky franchise. Â Cause let’s face it… In addition to nice little pun, Carl Weathers is pretty damn cool.
Thanks, Chewie. Makes it real.
