Well, I made a decision for a "life change," since my addction to smoking /drinking takes up quite a bit of my time here at home. I still manage to do my work, but have preferred to smoke and drink in the evenings....and seem addicted to the two in combination. Today, I have done neither, and I can't tell you what a BIG step this is for me. I have been doing it for years.
I've also been getting over an "addiction" to a person, about whom I've posted in other threads on this forum. I am proud also to be over that, and not having tried to contact him for several weeks now. This was very hard for me to accept, but I have done it, and realizing I could let that relationship go, I also realized I could let the addiction to cigarettes and alcohol go.
So last night, I set a tentative goal of starting to free myself of them today, and have actually followed thru!!!
I know this is naively early to say I will succeed in this, but I'm tired of my addictions running my life!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
