Give and get support around quitting

Note to Self

This website is my lifeline right now. It NEEDS to be my ultimate go-to and I need to remind myself (in place of cravings) just how rough the first week or so of quitting really is so that I break the cycle and continue to stay focused. Multiple stressors exist, some pretty heavy in nature...and will continue to exist...but my reaction (or lack thereof) will inevitably save me. Truly do appreciate all of you who also walk this walk daily. Although I'm not much of a drinker (cause I needn't yet another addiction), Stevie Ray Vaughan's Life by the Drop breaks it all down...could just change it to nevergiveup's version, Life by the Drag.

Hi! Happy Friday! I am on Day 3 and it hasn't been easy, but could be worse. I have left this site up at all times and come to it often when I feel a craving. You go this!!

 Stevie Ray Vaughn was a blues musician. Music is simply one of my positive go-tos each and every day, especially now. Thank you!

You have a great attitude. Congrats on Day 5. As we say----one day (sometimes, one minute!) at a time......that is how this is done. On to Day 6 and the rest of your life.

Stay Strong.

YES for day 5!  Pat yourself on the back, you deserve it.  A baby step at a time can lead to winning the marathon and you've got the biggest support team going.
