In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Don't set it for tomorrow, unless you're pretty sure quitting cold turkey will work for you. Don't set it for more than a month from now, because you might lose your resolve by then. Aim for a date in the next couple of weeks. This will give you enough time to become mentally and physically prepared. Consider picking a date that's meaningful to you, to help motivate you. Your birthday, father's day, your daughter's graduation day, etc. Mark the day on your calendar and announce it to those close to you. Build it up so that you won't be likely to back down when the day arrives. Make a firm commitment to yourself that you're going to quit by that date. Take any medical or physical support you may need. Some addictions can be life-threatening if they're stopped incorrectly. It might not seem like it now, but you're going to need all the support you can get during your journey to overcome addiction. Because so many people battle addictions, there are many wonderful institutions in place that serve as support systems, helping you stay motivated, providing tips for success, and encouraging you to try again if you have a false start. If possible, consider finding a therapist or mental health professional in your area as they will be able to help you create the best treatment plan (like inpatient or outpatient care or continued therapy) and support network for your needs. Research in-person and online support groups designed to help people with the specific type of addiction you're battling. Many resources are free. Make an appointment with a therapist skilled in helping people through addictions. Find someone you're comfortable with so you'll be able to rely on him or her in the months to come. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Gestalt techniques and life skills training are amongst the techniques that have been proven successful for those seeking to overcome addictions. A therapeutic setting ensures that you will have privacy and that the treatment will be based on your particular needs and goals. Seek support from your closest loved ones and friends. Let them know how much this means to you. If you're addicted to a substance, ask them not to use it in your presence. Everyone has a certain set of triggers that make them automatically want to indulge their habits. For example, if you're struggling with an alcohol addiction, you might find it difficult to attend a certain restaurant without feeling a strong urge to drink. If you're addicted to gambling, passing a casino on the way home from work might make you feel compelled to stop. Knowing your triggers will help you face them down when the time comes to quit. Stress is often a trigger for all kinds of addictions. Certain situations, like parties or other social gatherings, might act as triggers. Certain individuals can be triggers. Instead of quitting immediately, start by decreasing your use. For most people, this makes it easier to quit. Indulge less frequently, and gradually continue reducing it as your day to quit for good approaches. Remove reminders of your addiction from your home, car and workplace. Get rid of all the objects that goes along with the habit, as well as other items that remind you of the habit. Consider replacing the objects with items that help you feel positive and calm. Fill your refrigerator with wholesome food. Treat yourself to a few good books or DVDs (provided they don't contain content that could act as a trigger). Place candles and other aesthetically pleasing items around the house. You might want to try redecorating your bedroom, rearranging the furniture, or just buying a few new throw pillows. Changing your environment will give you the feeling of having a fresh start.
Summary: Set a date to quit. Seek personal and professional support. Identify your triggers. Start ramping down your addictive habit. Get your environment ready.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Warming up your legs, ankles and back beforehand will minimize the risk of injury. If your body is not limber during a back handspring, there's a chance you won't adjust properly to the flip. Regardless of the sport you're practicing for, it's always important to give your body a bit of a warm up before the fact. Stretch and roll your wrists. This is the area that risks the most strain when you execute your back handspring, so it's a good idea to give it some extra love prior to attempting the technique. A soft surface, like yard grass,mat, or bed mattress is necessary in order to practice your back handsprings. A hard surface won't give you the cushion you need to spring back, and the risks of injury are much higher. Investing in a mat will allow you to practice your back handsprings from virtually any location. Especially starting out, many gymnasts have difficulty mustering the strength it takes to launch their bodies in a flip. A vault board will give you the extra force necessary to achieve a flip. This will allow you to focus on other facets of your technique. Using a vault board can help you to focus on improving your control, rather than putting the effort into the force of jumping itself. This is particularly helpful if you have difficulty with the initial leap. Squatting against a wall is a common way to build leg strength. Rest your back against wall, and lower your body down. This will cause a bend in your legs. Get your squat down to the point where your legs are arched at a 90 degree angle. This should cause a noticeable burn in your leg muscles. If your legs are stronger, you'll be able to leap higher, giving your back handspring greater initial force. Hold your squat for 30 seconds, then give yourself 30 seconds to rest before you attempt another rep.
Summary: Stretch to improve your flexibility. Prepare a soft surface for your back handspring. Train your handspring using a vault board. Squat against a wall.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Remove your shots from the fridge. Evenly distribute the bacon between the shots, sprinkling a small amount of bacon on top of each shot. Place a gummy egg on top of the bacon. You can buy gummy eggs at most candy stores or online. Place a plastic lid on your shots and then place the shots in the refrigerator. Leave them refrigerated until you're ready to serve them. Try to serve the shots within a few hours or the next day. While gelatin and alcohol last a long time, bacon only lasts for a week in the fridge. Make sure to use the shots within a week.
Summary:
Add the bacon to your shots. Top each shot with a gummy egg. Store the shots until you're ready to serve.
