I'm glad you got away from both, opiates took my cousin about a decade ago. Nicotine is a tough one I agree, no real immediate downsides it's just the delivery mechanisms that'll get you.Had my last drink (most likely) last October. I miss my bourbon and always will but it triggers my depression and the aftermath just isn't worth it. As good as it makes me feel and in spite of not having a hangover in decades nor it causing any problems in my life other than a little wasted income, I just can't keep putting myself in the dirt with it.
I'm very fortunate to be able to simply put it down and not pick it back up. I'd been putting a couple half gallons away per week for several years before I quit and didn't suffer any ill effects. Did the same with Vicodin after a six month relationship brought about by several injuries and a surgery. Took the last one, threw the bottle away and that was it.
Nicotine on the other hand...... ****shiver****. got me for life I'm afraid.
Trying your best is all you can do, it's hard to let these things go.Nice work. Cigarettes are mine. Trying though.
40 years on the same brand. I don't equate my issue with the difficulty level of drugs or alcohol. It's just nicotine.Trying your best is all you can do, it's hard to let these things go.
Good for him, I'm thrilled to hear that. A habit is a habit, regardless of what it is they're hard to break.40 years on the same brand. I don't equate my issue with the difficulty level of drugs or alcohol. It's just nicotine.
My brother in law was what we thought an incurable alcoholic. God bless him, he's been sober over a decade now. Proud of him. Proud of you too
