How would you deal with Cold Turkey?!


Question: How would you deal with Cold Turkey!?
If you had been used to having what you wanted, for well over 20 years, having earned it too !?
Losing everything, but gaining one love !?
!.!.!.And somewhere many feet down the runway, ultimately, you realise you have to throw some baggage out to take off!?
In life's little journey I have gained much baggage, and indeed a little knowledge plus ignorance along the way!.
I HAVE TO (excuse cap lock, and myself), quit smoking 50 + a day, and almost a bottle of spirits in the same time period!.
Advice please before I lose everything!?

It's easy to tell someone what to do if you aren't in their shoes!. I've never really had whatever I wanted, no even anywhere close to most of what I wanted At one time I was bringing home a fair salary, but my sisters had children and were very needy so I spent or some many say I squandered (seeing that two of my sisters, a niece and nephew don't speak to me) much it!. Due to a disability, I am no longer employed!. At first, the loss of income was a bit devastating!. Now I realize that although it made my life more comfortable, it didn't define who I am!. I also realize that I have a brain that still functions pretty well so should be able to come up with a plan that will work for me!.

Even though falling down is hard and makes you just want to stay down and wallow in it, you don't have to!. Take a little time and grieve because your loss is like a death!. Something has been taken away from you and it hurts, it makes you angry, it depresses you!. That's Ok because it's a part of the grieving process!. We don't all handle grief the same!. But we do have to come out of it!. In order to be fair to you and to your one love you must survive!. It might be a gradual process!. For example, instead of fifty plus smokes a day drop back to 50!. This means that regardless of how your day goes, you can only have 50 smokes!. Then drop down to 45 and on down from there!. Do the same with the drinks!. It won't be easy but life isn't easy!. You made your way once and you can do it again!. The baggage is wearing you down!. Don't let it keep you down!.

Other than a casual drink every now and then, I don't drink!. I have never smoked, but I'm not perfect and like most people I have my albatrosses to, therefore, I know that if you take an inventory of your situation and start making changes today you can come out of the jungle that is threatening to consume you!. Decide what you want to do and start either job hunting or using the skills you have to start your own business!. Your first step might be to find out what is available in your area to help you pull up out of the financial fog!. Call your creditors and see what can be worked out!. Most would probably rather help you come with a plan rather than risk now getting anything at!. This isn't the time to be prideful so do some research because there maybe resources that can assist you!. I'm sorry this is so long!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

NO magical cure!.!. but just one day at a time!.The only thing u have to lose is yourself!. Its either the smokes or the booze that you want OR your self respect and dignity!.You either take the smokes , booze and lose it all!. After all you have a choice!. Now which one means the most!.Its your life ,,, your choice!.!.!. now its up to you!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
