cool turkey

In a week since my commitment to self help, I cant quit cold turkey. Rather than beat myself up for the failure, Im trying a new approach. As it took 20+ yrs to progress this way, Im just going to regress in hopes it doesnt cause a relapse down the road. While I have not stopped, I HAVE... thrown all my "tools" away, quit mining, replaced daily "sessions" with beading, cleaned & sanitized my makeup, brushes and face. And I only picked the ones that were VERY NOTICEABLE, which is good for me as I would pick at any last thing. This week my plan is to add, "no touching the skin during bathroom breaks" which is when Im most vunerable. So if you cant quit cold TURKEY, try a customized COOL TURKEY plan, who knows maybe it will work. we will see.....

sounds like a plan !! any step in the right direction is just that. just make "every step" a step in the right direction and you can't go wrong. it is pretty much a mind over matter issue and very personal. keep doing all you can and your goal will come closer and closer. and be proud of all your accomplishments !!
