I have not used crack cocaine for:Days - 205Weeks - 29Months - 6 Fifty five percet of my goal has now been reached, although I really want to stay clean until at least Christmas - and even longer, if I can. There are days when I crave it so much that it is all I can do to somehow force myself not to even think about it.

This is really amazing.
I remember way back when you only had a month or so going.
I sure do admire your perseverance.
Wow, wish I could accomplish some of my goals like you do yours.

Thank you both. I \"just\" made up my mind to quit - and did it. I finally saw how much money I had been wasting, and realized the ways in which that could have been better spent. I did not attend any meetings, although I usually saw my primary care physician monthly, and we would talk about how I was doing in trying to stop using drugs. I also know that if I was going to use drugs, I would (hopefully) tell the social who I am seeing at the mental health clinic.

Inspiring, Jim. I relapsed already so I know how hard this goal was and is. I feel so proud for you. You have such strength of spirit.
