Good to see you hear Serrasalmus. I'm 53, been at the stinky brown weed since I was 21 (that's about $40,000 worth), have quit a few times in the past. This time I've had enough. By the way, I got started again when I Mr. Mommed while my wife was in the Air Force. And I'm now on Day 34 and feeling good. I does get harder as you get older; would be a very good idea for many reasons to make this quit your last one.
The two most important things I have learned:
1) Fellowship is critical
2) Staying quit is harder than quitting. Many times, I've told myself, "just one since the kids are out of town" only to find myself a week later solidly into a can a day habit.
I read somewhere on KTC, "you're always only $5 and a convenience store from a can a day habit".
I would have caved two weeks into my quit at New Year (kids were out of town) if not for that damned roll call. No matter what else I think about it, it works.
