Hello to all Ipower members and anyone else that is reading this introduction/blog my name is Nathan I'm currently going through the process of quiting smokes and weed.  The catalyst for me joining this site was friend Dale of all the people in my life including my parents Dale is the only one who managed to get through to me that I was in fact a horrible opportunistic leech type person and not the nice person who for some reason bad things kept happening to them.  Over the period of time that I started living with him he showed me that I had 5 stages which I kept cycling through and that by not conciously thinking about what I was doing I was setting myself up to repeat those 5 stages.  

People talk about tough love but sometimes I don't think they really understand what it means, it actually took a lot out of Dale to show me these things repeatedly until one day he just let me have it with both barrels.  And now here I am.

Reeses Video about changing habits and expanding our short term memory was the next thing I watched straight after I knew that strengthening my short term memory was one of the keys of stepping out of this miserable cycle that I put myself in.  My short term memory has always been terrible and I have never really discipled myself to try and do something about it but now I have started the process and when I am over the flu that I have I plan to start meditation and goal visualization and anything else I can get my hands on to help me to become a better human being.
