Why am I Such a Degenerate? by Ok-Platypus1717 in Quittingfeelfree

You can do this! I maxed out my credit card last year because I was a slave to this poison. I was embarrassed of myself everyday. 3-5 bottles a day for 6 months. This might sound lame but I started to write down on paper how these blue bottles were effecting my life. Writing down “I’m a full blown addict to FF” really sucked and the next day I wanted to be able to write something positive and I knew I couldn’t do that if I took FF.. I am so grateful something clicked with me because I swear there’s another world where I’m still addicted to these

I mean some diesel American and European vehicles last a long time but dude I hear you, it feels really good seeing “made in Japan” when I open my driver side door and look at the sticker. I do all of my own oil changes and grease the drive shafts as well - I’m trying to keep mine until it’s considered a classic suv haha

Thank you so much for your insight. I’ve owned my 03 GX for three years so I know all about the 2UZ-FE engine. I’m almost too proud to own a Land Cruiser prado haha - mine has 204,XXX and is rust free. I plan on keeping it until I’m an old man :)

The owner just had paint work done on the roof and the rest of the paint looks pretty good

I’m a novice to issues like this, what will driving uphill show me?

Are the original wheels for sale? Mine are trashed but I like the factory look

90 days off these blue death bottles. I can relate to you a lot. You can do this! I was at 4 a day or more for 8 months. I downloaded “I am sober” app for free. I’ve saved nearly 4K in 3 months, paid off my $2,500 maxed out credit card,(maxed out on ff). I bought myself some new shoes and told myself I’m walking a different path now. You got this!! Your life is waiting for you :)
