And I would like to explain my comment on "one day at a time".
Many years ago, when I was sober only a week or so I was terrified that I would be struck drunk. Sound stupid? It is, but in the mind of an almost dead drunk who just dried out, anything like that was possible.
People were saying "one day at a time" and I could not wrap my mind around that because I never wanted to be where I was again. And I was scared. Real scared. One of the older guys, who had a couple of years told me something that gave me solice, and I kept it and I use it in my nicotine quit.
That piece of solice was that I never had to be drunk again, and it was my choice. He asked me one simple question after telling me that. "What did I need to do to get drunk?" The answer was easy. Drink. Just one. Because one is too many, and a thousand aren't enough.
AA is based on a spiritual foundation and I found/find such things a little spooky. Asking god to keep me from getting drunk infered that I could just be struck drunk if I did not adhere to the principles. It may sound crazy, but at the time, I was a nut case.
My sobriety was and is based on my own will. My quit is based on my own will. It is strenghtned by the people on this site who I have developed relationships with.
I feel it is my responsibility to lay on the table all the tools at my disposal, regardless of how others may feel about them. Many do disagree with my "you never have to do that again", but some have taken it to heart. It would be wrong of me, and anyone else on this site to deny anyone of their personal experience in quitting.
As for you, welcome to the real tough part. Having problems? That is what we are all here for. I know a little about how this all works and after a time, it isn't just about the drug anymore, it is about how you handle life on life's terms without the help of, well, anything.
Bitch all you want, when the dust settles, be here, be calm. Let us help you if we can.
