Hi jmhs,
Congratulations on wanting to give up totally. You don't need drugs in your life anymore for any reason. They're nothing but a drain. There are so many wonderful and worthy strategies for giving up drugs that to embrace one totally seems somewhat stunting to me. I feel like an octopus most of the time, with my arms reaching from all of the strategies all at one time and incorporating them into a basic step by step routine. It's not just about quitting. It's about changing our perceptions, exercise, diet, short and long-term goals. We are really fortunate to have so many opportunities and an online source to draw from. Thank goodness we can draw from all of the experience of those who have been clean for years and yet are reminded daily of where we once were when we just started our programs.
