You also have focus, good judgment and discipline enough to stick to it, as evidenced by prior cold turkey bravado. Not everyone can do that. And, since you're already aware, there's no good reason to wait. Why not make it happen today? You get to choose between a big ole pile of doo and a little pile of doo.Which one is it going to be? I know, it's easier said than done. A buddy of mine is currently going through hell, trying to shake a habit. Relapse, excuses, relapse, extenuating circumstances, relapse, self-victimization, relapse, loneliness, relapse, and so on and so on...
"Right decision" -- that's one of eight buddhist principles that will lead one to the path of enlightenment.
Thanks for the kind words, E. I am already two months in, having made the irrefutable realization that my life is not what it can, or should be. It's going to be a long, tough road, but I'm going to do everything in my power to make that happen.
Regarding the beer, there's nothing I'd love more than to kick back and check out a game with you, my treat. Maybe one day I'll fly out to Staples for a game, as a reward to myself once I've gotten far enough down the path.
