welcome wombat. i'm day one. i've been through it before. trust me, your g.f. will probably be thrilled.
i know when i quit for 100 days my spouse and my two sons were very happy. i know i can do it again. i realize you have to quit for yourself but a great side benefit is your family doesn't have to watch you slowly kill yourself.
and that is what i was doing. very selfish on my part as my wife is deaf with low vision and really depends on me. both of my sons really love their dad and i don't need to leave them at an early stage.
my brother in law died on new years day at 56 years old and it was years of alky abuse that got him. just seeing the devastation it has had on my family made me look hard at myself again.
i'm pulling for you. looks like there are quite a few of us at day one today. i wonder if monday is a big day one on s.r.?
