Quit you mean Vino?
Like everything else I do, I did the hard way.
I waited until my addictions nearly killed me.

I sometimes hesitate to share that story because I worry people will think well ok I'm not at that point, or I'm that bad - I can drink and smoke a little more....but the truth is I wish I'd quit years before I did.
Noone ever intends to be that all day everyday drinker, or the pot head, combing the carpet for left over crumbs of weed, but the process was inevotable for me while I was still drinking and smoking,
Some see hitting bottom as some event that happens - I think 'bottom' is simply the decision not to live your life in addiction one more second.
I found support here - and I wasn;t afraid tio change anythign in my life that tied me to addiction, That meant detaching from certain friemds, and finding new things to do with myself - at least for a while.
It sounds a massive task but
once I committed it was way easier than I thought
My life today is miraculous and everything I ever wanted
