> cutting back is not an option as i have found with myself if i have it i wont stop until it's gone.I haven't touched it in 23 years. Not even once. Have no desire for it. In fact, it repulses me. Before that I was completely addicted to it as you are now.
I can speak only for myself. But I went to a local Christian church where I lived and was prayed over for it after making a dedication of my life to Christ and simply walked away from smoking and toking and never looked back.
Interestingly, many years later I started the wine tasting and social drinking and eventually found myself addicted to alcohol after a few years of that. I went through a Celebrate Recovery course and about six weeks in they prayed for me and that was the last drink I ever took. I have a lot of sobriety over alcohol and never even think about it anymore.
The last addiction on my plate is self-gratification. I am single and celibate and have been for 23 years. Yet I have the plumbing and desire to be married so it's a struggle. I would like to overcome that last frontier and then I would really be living a pure life.
Anyways, sorry recovery doesn't come in a pill but I have had good results with God and 12 step recovery. Best wishes. It is so important for each of us to overcome.
