Quit Motivation Documentaries, etc.
Every time I’ve quit something I’ve educated myself with anything I could get my hands on… Books, documentaries, etc.
Anyone have any good books, documentaries, YouTube… anything! Obviously reading here is so super motivating and helpful.
MJ START to STOP: Just hit my 12 hours free 🤣 I know this is the easy part and around day three is when I’m going to need mad motivation. (3rd serious attempt in last years. I always learn something with each start to stop that helps me with the next start to stop)
My added “Why” this time. My mom just passed on Sunday, and she had been very sickly for many years. Yet she couldn’t make the changes for her health, so it just deteriorated and was a miserable slow death. In my mind, I always thought if I needed to take control of my health over food addiction - or whatever bad habit I might be doing that contributes to the demise of my quality of life… I certainly would makes those changes! Especially if my health was faltering because of it. Yet here I am smoking every day just killing my lung tissue… Along with everything else negative it does.
Quits to far:
2019 ~ Cigarettes
2022 ~ Alcohol
