Way to go, FreshStart!!
It takes alot of guts to walk into that first meeting, but from the sounds of it, it was meant just for you! That's the way I felt when I first came to SR. And like you, I'd tried cutting down and/or stopping for at least a year with no success.
I just ran out of options and didn't have any energy left to continue in that crazy cycle. What a relief not to have to run up to the store for my fix every day. I'm so happy for you!! Keep it up ODAAT!
