Keep Your Word When Fighting Addiction

Let me ask you a question:  What does it mean to keep your word?  If you said, “Well, Dr. Joan, it means that if I say I will do something, then I do it, for sure.”

And I would agree. Another way to look at it would be that it means if I make any kind of promise, I keep my promise. I keep my word.

Today, we discuss a difficult subject related to keeping your word.  We will tell the story of a young woman who promised her boyfriend she would quit smoking. Her struggle, her failure, and her ultimate, earnest desire to keep her word and achieve her goal is laid out by Dr. Joan, along with basic hints for success. 

If you are fighting an addiction and have made a promise to someone that you wish to change your patterns of addiction, listen to Dr. Joan’s hints.  Dr. Joan’s practical pointers may help you, in some way, to keep your word and preserve your relationship.
