    Omg poor him! It's hard too see your man hurting, more so hurting inside. Good luck to you guys and your sobriety, sincerely. It's a tough road to tread and one I've been down before. Ain't goin out like that, as the song says.
    Let's all make it stick for this new year! Things cant control us, we control us!

    Quitting chew myself, which has been very hard at times. Congrats to everyone that has or is quitting. Most impressive.

    I've had to quit smoking marijuana. I know people say it's harmless but it has greatly contributed to my eating disorder over the past few years.

    Had to quit also, not for reasons regarding my eating habits but being pregnant.

    Guess the way I see it is that I control it... not it controlling me ( just like bigplantnerd said) so as long as I have an handle on it, and my responsibilities are met it isn't a problem.

    Chels, I do take care of business, but when those gnarly choices come I choose the mess. It's a problem simmering under the surface, every day, all the time. My responsibilities are covered, its my health that's taken the back seat for the last 20 years. I want my strength back. I want to work out, and look lovely, and feel lovelier. I've hidden behind smoke and flesh and an image of myself as the one who dgaf. Creating a new self image, for me, is the whole package. I am the one resolves things, works hard, and if I stray I find my way back. That is who I want to be...but I will always miss her. She got me this far, I think she will be proud.

    It seems like I try to quit smoking or at least cut down about every other day. I think about it all the time. It consumes me and sometimes drives me nuts. I did find an app called Smoking Log that makes it easier to track when you smoke and gives you a total for the day. With that I was able, for a while, to cut my smoking in half. Was down to 14 a day for a few days but then got away from using it and have now climbed back up to about 20. Still better than the 30 I was smoking but not good enough. Ugh.

    I finally quit "the new drug" pornography been clean since August. I now it's not your typical substance but it's been hard for me. Hope this applies

    I feel like quitting anything that is consuming is about the same (after you've passed through the initial physical withdrawal that some substances offer). So good on you for quitting something something that you felt was negative in your life.

    Oh, and as for me, I've had a few drinks. Only one or two at a time (ie, one or two in a day, with a stretch between days). BF has had some weed, but I've abstained - I feel like it was making me slow when I wasn't on it, and it contributed to overeating. Neither of us has had any cigarettes since November, and we're both feeling better for it (my alcohol smoked cigarettes, I didn't).
