Fear...the great motivator, as it was for me. Desperation, ...that was also a huge driver, much in part because I was desperate to quit, for myself. I wanted nothing more than to quit being a slave, and moreover, quit being a liar. Man, did I lie about so many things...just to protect my addiction. Today, however, I may still be an addict, but I am not a liar and I am not a slave.
Freedom, my friend, is pure bliss. I'm only 2 and 1/2 years quit, but that feeling of freedom continues to get better and stronger each day. That's because I've built a quit foundation of bad ass quitters and friends who do this with me every day and every step of the way. If this sounds like something you crave, then go after it. Heed Pab's advice; post roll every day. Make it your saving grace.
