I had an addiction to nicotine once and so I know how hard it is to stay quit.<BR/><BR/>A great person once told me, "It took you X number of years to become a smoker. You need to give it a bit of time to undo all those years of habits." That freed me to be kind to myself and have the confidence to believe I could do it.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you all the best.K.

I read it through from start and was left wondering about your background more, I felt it put me into the start day and up to the present but I have no idea if you are starting sobriety again this blog or coming in as a longterm sober addict. I found not knowing that made me unable to think about what you were saying as much as I wanted, because I was thinking about this question - not wanting to judge but rather to relate your remarks about your present perspective to where you are in the longterm recovery process today. I am a non-addict freshly into Al-Anon who REALLY wants to learn about addiction and recovery, so I can be more compassionate and informed. It's a world that is SO much more complex than the typical non-addict lay person understands. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to following your blog. (PS, I have a professional background in safety and found your blog on top 100 sober blogs, the name "Stop, Drop, and Recover" caught my interest.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407759233732016487noreply@blogger.com
