Hmmm...
It took me 4 years to actually quit...I returned to drinking many times.
I've not had a drink in 22 years.
next month I will begin 23 years of AA recovery.
No...I don't wear a halo ....
I've had much less success with cigarettes
I'm smoking .... yet again....
It's my experience and observation....that people
can quit whatever....it's very difficult to stay stopped.
