I've been dipping for many years and have tried to quit multiple times but never made it more than a couple months - usually just days. But I read the book called the Power of Habit. The author says that to break a habit/addiction you can't do it on your own. You need a community. Well I'm scared and I want to quit and I need some help. I am not good with computers, no Facebook etc. this is the first time I've posted on a board. Thanks in advance for anyone who takes time to reply. I'm not the type of person to ask for help but I don't want to fail again and tell myself stories. Yes I'm worried about cancer. And also worried and ashamed of what I might put my family through if it happens. I've got a favorite band that has a song that goes "I will change tomorrow, tomorrow I will change". That's what I've been telling myself for years. No more.
Congratulation brother on a massive accomplishment. The freedom you've earned looks so much sweeter than this day 1 post. You are the man. Enjoy typing that , every day!!!!!
Way to be Christopher! This is a huge milestone. Congrats!

Just one and you will be back where you started.
And where you started was desperately wishing
you were where you are right now.
