Great choice, Bruce. YOU CAN DO THIS! Love the part about setting future quit dates. I was king of that...birthdays, graduation, 1st job, big projects, Christmas, New Years, next week..., etc. I could even rationalize that it was okay to take one more dip today because I was going to be quit for good on _____________ anyway, right?!!
I was a pro as self-deception. I mean, I was full of shit on a world-class, Guiness Book of Records level. I was stooooopid (with 5 o's). I could rationalize anything for just one more.
But all of that came to an end when I found this site. Reading the words of other addicts brought my own stupidity in to focus. I could see how full of shit I was. I mean, I knew I was full of shit...AND I STILL FOOLED MYSELF. That's like a magician doing card tricks for himself?!! WTF?!!!
But that's the past. The show is over. We're here now and we are quit with you. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
