Welcome Cab! I started here a bit over a year ago. I first went a few days AF, then a couple weeks. But I kept slipping. I had to learn how not to slip. In fact, the more I quit, the harder it got to stay quit.

But I did it. At least, I'm doing it one day at a time. My last binge was in early May. I'm watching and being careful not to go back to that space. It -can- be done. And the tools I used came from right here at MWO. So stay here, search threads, chat and work out your own path to your own goal.
