[MarylandQuitter]

1.  Cut the grass

2.  Cut a mountain bike trail through the woods

3.  Read a book and learn something new

4.  Take time to listen to quiet.  Shut off the TV, computer and phone and just close my eyes and listen.

5.  Look at my short-term goals and see where I stand

6.  Cook something new on the grill

7.  Clay bar and do some paint correcting on my commuter car (it takes a beating in D.C.)

8.  Workout, run or do something to move get the old bones moving

9.  Walk around a garden center or nursery and find something new to grow

10.  Call my old man and catch up (old man is a term of endearment with my Dad and I)

11.  Prepare my meals for the week so I'm not stuck having to "get something quick to eat" and have fresh, unprocessed food to eat

12.  Disassemble the cooking surface down to the burners of the grill to clean and inspect.

Doing this alone avoided many diets.

Keep busy.... It does help ....bumping this ..feel free to add ...

[Sazerac]

I lurked here and learned all I could about addiction.

I danced wildly. I walked willfully.

I sang, took screaming showers,

went down to the tracks and primal screamed when a train rolled by (love that).

I yelled, 'FREE YOUR HEAD' over and over and over.

I buffed out my fingernails, my toenails to a gloss.

I did a super detail house clean, top to bottom.  Everything smelled so good.

Washed all my clothes, shined all my boots.

Drawers were artistically arranged,

closets compulsively organized. 

Folders of personal ephemera were sorted,  letters bound with ribbon to save.

The purge had no boundaries and I threw out a ton of detritus.

 

It also looked like I had gone to 'the agent orange school of gardening'

there wasn't a 'weed' anywhere, everything horribly neat and tidy.

Thankfully, I resumed my happy garden to it's riotous nature

but, I do miss that neat-nik woman keeping my house spic 'n span, where'd she go ?

 

Thanks for bumping this, @Doreensfree

great to see the 'old' faces.

I was still lurking back then and these were some of my heroes,

two months later, I joined with a 10 month quit under my belt.
