This is so true! Once I made up my mind that there was no going back it was easy. The hard part was all those years I spent trying to control and manage it, or trying to quit but not really meaning it, always knowing that sooner or later I'd be back at it. But yeah, once I was really done and the ambivalence was over I would say that my addiction was over too.
