The is no magical right way to quit your addiction, whether food, drugs, alcohol, etc. ad nauseum.
For our purposes here let's focus on...say alcohol. There is no right way to quit alcohol.
If you've quit, you've quit. How you maintain your quit is personal. I don't believe there is a right way to quit. Just that you have. However, your maintenance will require some fine tuning as to what works best for you. Some useful points to begin with include:
Honesty- Quit B.S.ing yourself. Your honestly know where work is, where your doctor is, and where the grocery store is. Know where your quit is also. You honestly know that alcohol does not work for you.
Forage- on that information and accept that information. Be honest with yourself and know alcohol is not good for you anymore and set it aside. Now that that's done, keep walking.
Relearning- how to think sober is vital. We learned how to think under the influence of alcohol. We need to relearn our sober thinking. Reorder our brain into positive activities, accomplishment, and learn to accept and love ourselves and others happily.
Sobriety- is a celebration of life now possible to enjoy, so just do it. Looking forward helps us to see the limitless possibilities, and looking behind should only bring us the makings of fine compost.
There is not a right way to quit except for honesty with yourself. Once you're looking down those double barrels of honesty, just keep on looking and you'll find yourself again. Honestly!
