This is why it took us forever to quit drinking, drugging, and smoking. It just takes one to get us drunk even if the rest of us wants to quit. It's like trying to convince a bar room of drinkers to quit drinking, it takes awhile.

Some of our others are teens that want to party; some still are living the hurt of abuse; some don't want to quit; some don't think that they are that bad; some rather be dead; some don't want to remember; some are still locked in a lifestyle;...

It took a year of extreme misery for the desire to quit to filter down through the ranks, and a lot of *****ing, pleading, and crying from the rest of us.

It can be done, but like an AA support system, we have to have an inner support system, also. What a novel thought....I need to go back to meetings.
