WOW! Three full years today since I quit.
People would say....If I can do it, anyone can do it. I had people say that to me in the past. I always thought they were wrong. Anyone can't do it, or specifically I can't do it. I tried so many times and just couldn't keep off of them. I felt like a failure. The people who said that were stronger than me or had more determination or loved themselves more or were superior to me. Or maybe they had better lives than me, had less stress or problems than me. Or maybe they had a better support system than me. Or something...not exactly sure what I lacked but I certainly lacked something.
Then I finally quit. And stayed that way. I am still the person I was back then when I continually failed. I still have the same life, stress, problems, the same people in my life. I'm as weak or strong as I think I am. I'm not superior to anyone. As for loving myself, I do...I did then now that I think of it. That wasn't it. It was and is determination. When I quit three years ago I was determined that no matter what happened, I was going to make this quit work. I got sick and tired of being sick and tired of trying to quit. And I never want to go through that again.
To those still struggling, you can do this. If I can do it, anyone can do it.
