Most users are unable to complete the abstention process. If we let our guard down, we can easily slip back into our old destructive habits. During the pandemic, I started binge-watching TV shows and eating large bowls of popcorn, and was surprised to find I had gained 25 pounds afterwards. So it’s been 17 years since he quit smoking and drinking, but I was still subconsciously replacing one addiction with another. I lost weight when I stopped eating popcorn. I also realized that I might never be able to quit smoking and that I needed to remain vigilant to avoid other unhealthy dependencies. That meant writing in a diary every day while following a proper diet, sleep, exercise, and work routine. And although I stopped weekly therapy a long time ago, I will return to emergency phone sessions when needed.
Forget New Year’s resolutions and advice to quit marijuana or alcohol.
