I've done everything under the sun. Drugs that dont even have names. I have drank and smoked and snorted things most people can't pronounce. I have been through withdrawal and I have been through pain and loss. And I dont remember any of the weeks it took for whichever thing it was beyond a vague "yeah it kinda sucked". I have been sober for years by choice. The best thing for quitting is saying no and keeping that promise to yourself. The pride and confidence it gives helps you the next day. I started with nothing and now I own 2 businesses and I can take care of my momma. So yeah I would say so. Alcohol and drugs didn't destroy my life. I did with poor choices. Stopping alcohol and drugs didn't improve my life. It was a byproduct of making better choices. Make better choices.
