Becoming aware of the problem is a good start; accepting the solution was the hard part for me. It was easier when I was "just taking a break" with the intent of taking it back up but exercising more control at some point. There have been times before that I said I was quitting for good, but in the back of my mind I still had plans to ease back into it at some point. This time I don't. it was a tough decision, but it brought a measure of relief.
