Then you know you can do it. If you can go 9 years you know it can be done. Do you want to quit drinking? I am sure the answer is yes and no. Yes you want too, no you feel like you cannot.

But you know you can. My old roommate did it. Took meeting a nice girl that helped him but told him he had to calm it down or he was out. He went through some tough times but it is under control now.

But it comes down to desire. Do you want it or don't ya? I seriously kept a pack of cigs in my car. Every other time I tried to quit was when I smoked the last cig of a pack. Then I would just be freaking out thinking about not having any cigs every time I'd drive by a gas station. So I kept a full pack in the car. Then when I got the urge I just told myself, "not right now". And it was a lot eaier since I actually did have some. I could focus more on not wanting one as opposed to jonesing cause I was out.
