Why Quit Dope Dot Txt
When I quit using about 11 days ago I made a text file and saved it on my desk top. It's named WhyQuitDope.txt.
I refer to myself as "you" in this list, sort of a tribute to the schizophrenic nature inherent in all addicted brains. This is the "sober me" talking to the "junky me" who basically needs a good slap upside the head at this point.
When it started I only had four items, I'll show them below.
REMEMBER THIS, YOU ****HEAD!!!!
1. Your woman
2. You'll have more money
3. Are ya sick of constipation YET??
4. You won't DIE of an overdose
As time went on I thought of other things to add to the list. Things like, no more suffering through withdrawals. No more living a double life. Improved sexual functions. No more dealing with scumbags and losers. My cats. More time/energy for my hobbies. I try to organize them in order of importance.
Now my list has 17 items! I force myself to look at it every day, even if for only a few seconds, and I almost always think of something to add. I think it's done a world of good.

Thanks canuhearme for reviving this old thread. In the end my list grew to 18 items and I stopped maintaining it, but it's still on my desktop. I just saw it for the first time in months.
I'll show you the entire list but I have to black some things out to protect my anonymity. Thanks again.

OK here's where my list ended. Some of the reasons here are less than noble, in fact one of them (#11) is a total "drug reason" in itself. But this is a private note from me, to me, and I was being totally honest. I never thought I'd post it but here goes:
REMEMBER THIS, ****HEAD!!!!
1 - your woman
2 - have lots of extra money
3 - you won't die of an overdose!!
4 - SEX! hehehe drool slaver slobber
5 - the cats!!! doofus, snooty, and squonker!!!
6 - don't need to feed your greedy arms 4 times a day
7 - no more living a double life
8 - you're not getting high anyhow
9 - Are ya sick of constipation YET??
10 - you'll never feel WDs again
11 - you can smoke dank budz again
12 - won't have deal with scumbags
13 - you can experience LIFE again
14 - __________.com nerds
15 - you can practice ______ again
16 - your chess game will improve
17 - spare money for other vices like gambling $$$ tee hee
18 - you can eat hot peppers again
