I think a break could be in order. Why do you not like it and dread it? Were you pushed into it? You may make a decision that you'll regret for the rest of your life. Music is a wonderful thing.

Playing a musical instrument teaches you lots of things, it's a good way to spend time and it's good for concentration. I guess the best way to get thru life is thru moderation which is an art in itself and takes practice.
Yeah, I'm with you on this. Music helps me a lot. I'm a guitarist myself, but give it up? EEK. I sorta gave up the electric, and went with the acoustic, following some kind of breakdown in my early 20s. Blues and classical, primarly.
