hi I'm Cindy
Quit date is 25 Aug. Previously July 3rd but didn't meet that target date. Have been addicted to cigarettes longer than I was addicted to anything in my life and that has been a few things. Tobacco is that last addiction I have to overcome. Been a smoker for 46 years, been sober for almost three years, widow since 2008 after 37 years with my spouse and 2 years sober. Retired after 20 years in 2007 and estranged somewhat from my drinking son who has yet to be able to deal with the loss of his father.
Not very successful in focusing on a new life purpose although have a direction with a significant other of the last two years. Feeling very much alone much of the time. Not much stimulation from the 'real/outside' world do I allow/partici[pate in.
Thrilled to have joined this sight and very glad to know there is support from those who have been there. Much appreciation to the powers that be who created this opportunity for all of us here.
Some might think addiction is addiction and if you can overcome one (if overcome is appropriate) you should be able to apply that to another but I don't find that to be the case.
