The most important step to take is the first step —
admitting you have an addiction to Piggington.
When asked why you post, you might have said, “I just like to post!” or “It’s my choice to post.”
Other posters have promoted the idea that posting is a matter of personal choice. As I see it, there really isn’t as much choice as they have suggested to the forum.
Ask yourself, and be totally honest: Am I addicted Piggington? Am I truly making a freely made choice when I post?
You might consider that you need to have a look at the forums or need to post. Studies have shown that Piggingotn addiction is as hard to break as heroin or cocaine addiction.
In Poster’s Anonymous’ 12 Step program, which sprang from the venerable Alcoholics Anonymous program, the first step is admitting to yourself, “I’m powerless over Piggington.”
Making this admission may seem trivial to you, but for many it is a very significant part of completing the journey to becoming a non-poster.
By telling posters that posting is a personal choice, Piggington has helped to keep its customers in denial about the true extent of their addiction to Piggington. If Posting or reading is a choice, then what’s the rush to quit? Piggington posters have used this spin to help keep millions of posters and lurkers posting and reading their topics and comments.
Admitting that you’re posting more out of addiction to Piggington than choice will help motivate you to go on to the next steps — taking control of yourself and becoming a non-poster.
This admission will further serve you by helping you stay free later. In the months and years after you quit, when temptations to post or read occasionally overpower you — and they will — remind yourself, “I have an addiction to Piggington and I’m powerless over Piggington.” Saying this to yourself in overwhelmed moments of desire will help give you the strength to say no to “just one” post.
If you can make it for just five minutes without giving in, the urge to post will be controllable or disappear. In this way, you’ll be able to stay post free for life.
