Ill do it :) I want to stop too and its hard

Sounds great! :-) I'll message you.

that actually sounds like a really good idea. I wanna stop too..... its just hard :(

I think something like this could really help. Maybe if other people see this and respond, we can all use this discussion to find quitting buddies and all get better. :-) Anyone??

And if no one else does, I would gladly team up with the both of you to beat this together. :-)

I'd be glad to help someone out with this too.

ArtistMWS, thank you for your willingness to support us, but the whole point of this was to get away from the outside pressure and advice and connect with people in the same place as us. Team up with others in our same position. I see you quit a long time ago. It's great to have support from many different people, but my goal here was to bring people together that are currently struggling with this to help each other. Hence, and I quote, "Not someone who has never done it or who has already quit."

And I'm sorry if that sounds rude or anything, but I have become very bitter about receiving help from people who have quit or who have never done this. I have heard all the advice and suggestions they have and it is not what I want anymore.

no worries; not a big deal

I'm in the same spot. Struggling to actually stop. It's been a work in progress for a year now. Support from someone fighting it too is something I haven't tried it.

Ready to join the band wagon

Wow. Great! :-) So what do you guys think? Just partner up or should we all work together? There's that "group" option on here, but I couldn't find any that people actually use. Would that be helpful? Should we make our own?

Lol Maybe I'm over-thinking this. I always do.

You aren't over thinking things :P lol

I think maybe buddies would be better but still having a group environment for all of us to arch up with each other would be a good way to try it out.

lol
Alright, good.

Buddies it is, then... but just so everyone on here knows, I'm always willing to help if any of you need anything. :-)

I understand what you are saying, and I dont want to be the person to rain on your parade but I do want to send a word of caution to take into consideration.

The idea of going through it all with someone sounds good. However you need to watch out that you dont become so wrapped up in the other persons recovery. If you become so codependent than you risk being triggered / set back in your recovery if the other person relapses/ anything else triggering.

Basically what Im saying is while in teaming up you can lift each other higher the opposite is also true you could drag each other down.

Just try to take that into consideration, please. Ive seen it happen and I would hate to see you in a more stressful place when you already have so much to deal with.

That does make sense. Thank you. I've tried everything else and nothing has worked, so I'm still willing to try this, but you're right. We should be careful.

Whats the plan?
