Good advice.
My sister in-law is a psychiatrist so when I need therapy, its free.

Most of my family just think they are! Plenty of free advice!

Their hearts are in the right place. But if you have never been an addict you will never completely understand that just will power is not the answer to true freedom.
Being addicted as many here know is a prison.

How did you manage to escape, RR?

There is a saying in therapy quite often the best solution is to just change seats on the titanic. This method can be very effective in the short term. So smoke pot, listen to music, or banging the captain's wife / daughter / sister / first mate / whatever should take the edge off of a gambling fever withdrawal. Hiking not so much.

Good list by the way.

The Main reason (there was a few others) was I Found out I have a life threatening condition, that will shorten my life expectancy by many years, even if I did quit the bad habits ( was clean and sober for 5 years on may 25th) and I want to be around for my daughter and family for as long as I can. Of course for myself also no hurry to find out about the other side.

Sorry to hear about your health issue, RR. Miracles do happen, just try to continue to take good care of your health.

Sometimes we don't pay attention to the bad things that we need to quit until the situation already forces us to do it.
