We Quit Cigarettes

[Kiki]

Well this would kind of suck

She'll never do it.

Internet detox diet change your damn mind boot camp.
Do they already have these?
I can start a business and become rich!
I wouldn't even charge my victims.
I'd do it for free.

perfect!! When can I start!?

She's been admitting this for years.

I know

If you didn't have a phone you couldn't continue to find excuses.

I’m not finding excuses!! Just saying they’ve done a lot of studies and there’s a lot of debate on the scientific community on whether it is a true addiction or just a willpower issue because many people display real withdrawal symptoms and everything and are aware but still can’t change it. And they say it is similar to gambling addiction which is recognized. But either way, even if it does change the brain or whatever, I still do think it’s a matter of just saying no and putting it down haha like most other things. I just need to work on that part. Also I technically still could cause I could just use the laptop.

I wonder if there are 12 step meetings for this?

Not sure. I think there are groups but some are online which kind of defeats the purpose haha it did say cognitive behavioral therapy can actually change the brain chemistry to a more “normal” brain haha and lucky for me I’m already in therapy.

Then step 2 is overdue.

For sure but I have problems getting there.

12 meetings a day at Casa Kiki.

We've been telling her this for years too.

I know.

And I want to listen. I really do. But then I can’t. Though honestly I think it’s kind of a cycle cause this site is probably my biggest addiction/time waster

I keep thinking one day she will wake up.

I’m already aware of it and I’ve tried numerous times without success. Or if I do manage to go a while without it, I get sucked in when I pick it back up. I can’t just use it 5 minutes. I always end up getting totally sucked in.

12 steps from the chair to the garbage disposal?
(Please remove the battery first for safety.)

Also smartphones don’t have batteries.

At least not removable ones.

Can I write a short sweet note for you to hand deliver to her?

that’s so embarrassing!

Besides, we’ve been working on other issues.

Who wants to bet my chickens don't use their nesting boxes we just put in today I don't get chickens and why they choose ONLY ONE nesting box when you have 5 others!

Hope you did good today Kiki!

Kdog if you quit BYC and stayed off for good...I'd do it with you.

Really!? I don’t think I could ever

But I might need to reduce it temporarily haha

Well this would kind of suck

Agreed

She'll never do it.

probably not. But now you have me seriously considering it.

It’s my biggest addiction lmaooo

I don’t think I’m addicted to the phone. I think I’m addicted to BYC.

See I can't say I get sucked in by my phone... My Kindle on the other hand I read for 4 hours the other day and realized it was midnight. Went to bed then woke up and read another 3 hours.

Tell your parents your taking a road trip.
Shoot...you should have come last week with your dad! He could have left you here for a while.
Tell him to come back!


Tell them you need a vacation.

They do. The fastest way to find it is with a hammer.

 

[ShrekDawg]

What are you waiting for?
DO SOMETHING.

Idk. It just seems impossible.

I was going to out now for example because I hate fish and don’t want to cook but I don’t think I will. Except maybe to shop to buy stuff so I can cook myself something haha

Stop saying you might....blah blah blah and DO.
And yes...you are a professional excuse maker.
