Hello,
I just came back 2 weeks ago (well tomorrow it will be two weeks). I have lots of supports in place this time, SR being one of them. Anxiety and stress have always been triggers for me, so I am working with my doctor to control both. I also have found that I needed to change my typical nightly routines. I am happy to be on this journey with you.

Oioi, no I haven't but I did stop smoking last September with the help of Allen Carr's book. Smoked for over 25 years and that with help of a forum have remained smoke free and I know I won't go back.
Sometimes I feel like I get the rationality of not drinking but then the evening comes and I am alone now so I give in to the desire to feel numb. It is not the stopping that gives me trouble it is making it a permanent lifestyle that I simply have not been able to achieve.
I know that because of my battle to quit smoking that the desperation to have a substance does go away with time or should I say lessen with time..... I just need to find that strength inside again to make this a permanent life change.
Thank you both for writing...
