Long time user. Started in Jr. High and I'm 46 now. I've "quit" twice before. One in my early 20's I made it a year or more. and then in my 30's I quit for 7 or 8 years. Both times cold turkey on the tail end of the flu. I still can't believe I fell off the wagon the last time. I never thought about it, I mean it was completely gone from my life. Then one day, on a late night drive I was having a hard time staying awake and I had to stop for gas and I made a mistake.
I'm holding on, but still find myself unconsciously reaching down to that cargo pocket for the black nasty.
