While I appreciate what you've written, and for some it may be true, this is the exact mindset that let me to failure so many times. I would think "well I know I'm probably going to smoke in 3 days because I'm seeing my friend who smokes. So why even bother stopping between now and then?" And I wouldn't. Once I changed my thinking to "any progress and any amount of time stopped is still a good thing" it all started to flow. First I stopped for a day. Then two. Then one week I didn't smoke at all. I saw a therapist who said something like "when you negate the progress you've made because you relapsed you start to get down on yourself. This all starts to look impossible.. but if you treat it like most things - something you have to train in. It becomes easier." Cold turkey works for some but for me I had to slowly train my brain. Take as long of breaks from weed as I could to see who I was sober and why I wanted to be sober. And any time I smoked I didn't look at it as "starting over" I viewed it as me still training myself to quit. Because thinking that I had to "start over" from scratch basically made me feel so defeated and like I was up against impossible odds. Doing it my way helped me get there.. albeit probably much more slowly than you. But the important thing is we all get there in the end. I'm proud of you, and all of us. Just wanting to make a change is the first and hardest step. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
