Pizza Rehab: A 12-Step Program To Overcoming Your Domino's Addiction

Welcome to Pizzaholics Anonymous. My name is Morgan, and I am a pizzaholic.

Here, you will find a fail-proof program that will help wean you off of the enslaving corporate monster that is Domino’s. Whether it be cheesy bread, lava cakes, cinna stix, chicken kickers, or a classic pepperoni pizza, we all have that usual order every Friday night at 2 a.m. Now it’s time to take that big step and cut off this dangerous habit. Follow this program and you’ll be sure to live a happy Domino’s-free late-night.

Step 1: Admit that you have a problem

First, you must be able to face this head-on. Let your concerned friends know that you realize you do in fact have a problem and you're ready to work on yourself.

Step 2: Delete the Domino’s app from your phone

You all have it. You all have your location and regular order preset so all it takes is one touch of a button and 30-45 minutes later pizza appears at your door. Bite the bullet, and delete it.

Step 3: Call your regular delivery guy and let him know it’s over

This may be the toughest and most emotional step. It’s important to explain to Jimmy that you are trying to better your life and will no longer be needing his services. You owe him that much.

Step 4: Block the Domino's number from your phone

Make sure you can't call Domino's, and Domino's can't call you. Cut off all communication at the source.

Step 5: Come up with a mantra

I don't need Domino's. Domino's doesn't control me. Salad is bae.

Step 6: Delete all pictures of you and pizza from Facebook

Reminiscing through pictures brings all the cravings back. It's best to hide all records of you ever holding a slice of Domino's pizza in your hand.

Step 7: Spend hours looking at pictures of #pizzaporn on Instagram

You're longing for the pizza. It's better to stare at pictures and fantasize about eating pizza then actually eating it. It may seem like you're torturing yourself, but really you're helping yourself.

Step 8: Watch your friends eat pizza

Watching is almost as good as eating. It may look delicious, but you know it's nothing special. You stay strong and repeat your mantra.

Step 9: Convince yourself that Domino's is really not even that good and New York pizza is so much better so really you should save yourself for when you're in New York.

Domino's crispy, greasy crust and yummy, gooey cheese isn't all that.

Step 10: Write a letter to Domino's to be burned and never sent

This is a cathartic way to express everything you are feeling. Really let it out.

Step 11: Count the number of days you've gone without Domino's and realize it's been a long time.

Almost too long ... maybe it's time to reward yourself.

Step 12: Cave and order Domino's

I'm back Jimmy!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
