The thought of quitting has run in your mind for a while now
I mean, months now…years even!!!
But the spirit that has to bar you from using again, seems to be sleeping
At least, this is what you keep telling yourself, right?

Last year, you swore to yourself that by the first day of January
You shall have quit… (hhhhmmmmmmmmmm)
But we are heading into May and the cravings haven’t stopped as equally as their reinforcements!!!
Here’s some good news, though
And it’s more of a small push to you that’s struggling with this
It’s not late to see through your intentions and plans of living a clean and sober life.
You need to first of all, accept that you have a problem
Then, make a commitment to yourself, most especially, that you will emerge victor over your addiction
The power lies within your hands to make it all happen.
Take your journey, a step at a time
It won’t be easy or difficult at all.

If you feel you need external assistance in this fight, please do ask for it.
And in case, you’re derailed, for a day, with use of the drug, its still okay.
Don’t lose hope or curse yourself
I’ll be right here to hold your hand to see you through
I’ll be glad to see you one day exclaiming that , “2017 is the year I quit”….

So many people simply underestimate how difficult it is for alcoholics to give up drinking. I have been fortunate to never have that problem but have known some that have. It is painful to watch them go through this and they need all the help and support they can get. It is worth it though when they succeed.

I am lucky enough to not have any addictive issues, but I have known people who do. And the most difficult thing for many is taking the first step toward quitting, starting with admitting they have a problem.
😭😭😩😩 yyyyeeeaaahhhh…
Being able to quit takes true strength. Staying sober does too. It is important to stay focused and reach for help when needed.

I have a friend who is sober, and it is a daily choice. Thanks for sharing!

Quitting a bad habit can be done, but with much difficulty. I guess if one is determined to quit, then it can be done. What is important is accepting the fact that he/she has an addiction and that they need the help and support of family and friends.

Congratulations on quitting! A lot of people do find it hard to quit alcohol, too. It’s nice to know that you were able to overcome it.

In quitting a bad habit, sustaining it until you are free of the addiction is quite of a challenge. That is were the love and support of family members will come into play.
