You know better. You can. All you have to do is say so. Go all Patrick Stewart on it’s azz and make it so. Of all the possible times to quit and make it so, the best by far is this present moment. In a way, and it’s a big way, now is the only time to quit. Now.

Dump it all. Take a big drink of water and look at the death defying act you’ve just committed. Take a walk and look at what is there for you. You are doing what you know is ‘you’.

I love this.

Tasty, I know how hard it is to come back from a relapse, I had a similar amount of sober time as you and threw it all away.

But I’m now in my 4th year of sobriety again, and I treasure every day of this new freedom. Everything is better, and I am no prisoner to my addiction any more, and never will be again.

You can do this. I believe in you. ❤️
