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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
