I think my name says it all. I am smarter than this. There are a lot of people on this site that are smart enough to figure out that paying thousands/year for a habit that will cost you thousands (if not millions) in the future doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. I’ve lied to myself about my habit for years. I won’t lay out all the lies because I’m sure you are all familiar with them. Now I know that there is something that I can’t lie to myself about and that is that this habit is approaching its ten year anniversary. What a magical number (not really). Sure, like most of you, I’ve been a long-time stopper. Sometimes it’s a week, sometimes 2 weeks. My last time I made it almost 50 days but decided it would be “fun” to get a fruity can for a road trip. BIG MISTAKE!!! It’s been 7 months almost to the date since I made this mistake and the habit has come back with a vengeance. So I’m here to become a quitter for good and start enjoying those little things in life I’ve been missing out on like spending quality time with my family and not having to come up with an excuse to take a drive alone or having the confidence to go explore a public area without cutting it short or looking for a corner to sneak one. I can’t even begin to list all the little things that this habit has robbed me of but no more, I’m quitting for good. I’ve watched this site for a long time but never became engaged. Well now I’m here, committed and ready to take advantage of a free resource that will literally save my life. I’ll stay engaged and any advice that you quitters have is much appreciated.
Thanks,
STTS
