because with God all things are possible
I know this because I did try everything. I must have tried quitting dozens of times; I tried slowly weaning off, I deleted my contacts and so many other small tricks to quit. Nothing worked for me. I could only have done it with help from the Lord God.
Thank you for the encouragement. I am happy to report I am still going strong, still clean. Talking about it with you fine people here has helped, and I will post more about my journey for others.
Have a lovely day @joalvarez
