Hang On!

[MajestyJo]

I believe there is a song, "Hang on, you are moving too fast."

We tend to forget that we didn't get this way overnight, there are no quick fixes, change means time.

How long have to crossed the line into addiction, how did you feel when you had your first substance that gave you that "Awwwww" feeling that made you feel like you needed more.

I was sharing with Tony at the Holistic Center that I often get an urge to have a cigarette, but I know I just can't have one, even though I know it will taste awful. A cigarette would kill me faster than a drink or a pill. I told him of my visual memory that has helped me to stay quit, that of me, standing in my living room with my legs crossed, jumping up and down, lighting a cigarette, so I could go to the bathroom.

Reaching for a fifth help of stew, even though it is good, three would have been too many. When I eat, and not really hungry, I am stuffing my feelings.

When I got the "Awwww" feeling, I got so that I couldn't stop, I had to more. It was the same with my computer and building my web sites. I liked building them more than I liked maintaining them. The typical addict who starts something, and has trouble finishing.

You get that feeling, but you can't stop it, unless you take that moment, and ask for help. We can do what I can't do alone.
