Sunday evening January 15th I decided finally, for my well being and to set a solid example for my kids, I quit. Cold Turkey. Only way to really do it IMHO. You have to decide to do it, and without any help, any weening, just go ahead and do it.
It's been almost 2 weeks and I can say that I feel better, I'm less irritable, and I feel healthier. I don't miss it. I have no cravings.
Almost 2 weeks without turning on ESPN on the television or radio even once and I haven't missed any important sports information. I've gotten scores and highlights online and from other places. If there are highlights that are worthy, they always make the Internet.
- You will not miss a thing. Every other sports source has the facts and stats and data and results you need.
- Online provides a vast trove of spots for analysis. If you really need someone to tell you what to think, or tell you something stupid just to make you mad, there are hundreds of place to visit.
- Here's the thing though... I am smart. I understand sports. I don't need Hoge or Bruschi or Bayless to tell me what I should think.
- Dan Patrick is a great alternative if you prefer listening to sports talk on the radio.
You can do it! Believe in yourself. You will be better off for it.
We all will.
