You're welcome, of course, WG!

I know towards the end of my using I didn't feel like I had a choice. That's the compulsion part of the disease of addiction. I would "decide" to stop over and over but continue to use. I had to look outside myself for help. It didn't matter what I said to myself; the disease always took over.

I think if you "get a good head game going," it would be just that—a game. A game that you're likely to lose. I'm not trying to insult or criticize you in any way. I'm just saying what I found to be true for me and many other addicts. I can't do this alone. I wish you the best still.

If you need any detox tips, let me know!
Peace, love, and hugs,
Eddie
