Losing My Best Friend

[Bones]

Brew Crew..
I just quit a few days ago.. My mouth is healed and I can look my son and wife in the eyes and smile, dont have to worry about making excuses to go to the garage and "fix" something or decide which side of my lip is better to throw the chaw into.. It was worth the hardship of the first few days.. Confront all of your excuses and get fed up with your "old self"

I turned 33 today and I have made a decision that it is time to tell my best friend that we can no longer hang out. He has always been there for me. or so I thought. I took a step back and realized that he was controlling my life. He was interfering with my other friends, he was taking my money, he was causing struggles with the wife, and he was slowly and quietly waiting to kill me. I havn't told him yet, I have told him in the past and then took him back, but I want him to know that I am seriuos this time. I also want to tell myself that I am serious this time.

I should quit.
I need to quit.
I have to quit.
I am quit.


I am at the I have to quit stage right now and I plan on making that final step shortly. I have been a can a day grizz and kodiak slave for 14 years and the time is now. I am scared as hell and overall a little pissed off that I let it take control of me for so long. I am hoping that this site is the final help I need to actually quit.

BrewCrew, I would print out the statement you made and keep it handy. When you feel like you may start even thinking of caving; take it out and read it. You seem to have really put it in great perspective. It will help you reaffirm your reason and desire to quit.

Then after reading it... GET YOUR BUTT TO QSX AND TELL US! There are so many people here that will help, you just have to let us know what is happening.

Welcome to your quit! Welcome to actually living again.

I know what you mean about feeling as though you've lost your best friend. That shithead has been with me through thick and thin, helping me get through all the difficult things in life and making everything just a little bit easier. But, much like my bike, I took off my training wheels and am facing it all on my own...like a man.

Also, I found out that my "friend" was actually an asshole who's trying to bang my wife. Not today, asshole! 'Finger'
