I think it's gonna be really hard but I've done it before. I've thought through why this date will be good (it's the day I return from vacation--I need some kind of major event/change of scenery to mark the shift).
Anyway, the date is: Saturday, July 15, 2006.
I'll probably be needin' all y'all's help 'n' stuff. Not that I deserve it or anything.

Aaaah, but you do deserve our help. Perhaps we don't deserve to be of help...
What other scenery can you change? Do you associate with people that will not be a good influence to help you quit? If they don't understand, the time must come to blow them off, you know. At least until you get yourself going.
Best of Luck
Curt

Aw, thanks, ll. It is so nice to be thought of!This quit is very different from my last one but I really did make a huge change. It's not an absolute one, which is kind of unorthodox (in the recovery community) but I guess I always have to try doing things my own way. So far, I think it's been VERY, VERY good for me. But not easy.
I know you didn't ask. I just thought I'd share anyway.
:)

curt,i got this message when i was on vacation and it made me smile but i never got around to writing you back.
i did kind of have to cut loose all of my friends and make new ones. that makes it even harder in some ways because drugs were my friends, then my "friends" were my friends, so i ended up with almost no one. except you guys and my therapist and my family, which i guess is a lot. but it's still a hard adjustment.
anyway, i appreciate your support. you don't know how much. :)

congratulations on the effort. It's very brave of you to put out that quit date and then work to stick with it.
the very best of luck to you,
antigua

I didn't ask about it directly, but I was hoping you were doing okay. It's really hard to change so many things all at once- your chemistry, your social contacts, your daily routine. I'm glad to hear that it's working for you. Stay strong, and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it- you deserve the best :o)
