I spent 25 years of quitting daily, only to find more the next day. The few times I had dry time, I was happier, but until things got really bad and I finally surrendered, did I find that I can stay stopped.
It's not easy. I've had more than 10 months of sobriety, but this time around, I experienced the steps and they seem to be working. Life is not peaches and cream, but today I can see the rays of the sunshine and not just dark clouds of doom. Every day is a new beginning.
25 years of heartache....it's not easy to stay stopped, but it is doable.
Keep trying!
