Thank you very much for the kind words. While I definitely don’t feel like an inspiration, I’m extremely grateful I can help contriubute to this forum. As a tobacco user for over 15 years and being quit for the last 3, I feel like i understand my addiction and I know my triggers and weaknesses. That DOES NOT mean I have this thing beat because I dont. I probably never will but I am willing to take this battle on one day at a time. As I said, I have been 3 years quit of tobacco and I know I’m only 1 pinch away from being a full blown addict again. My urge to use is not there at all and very rarely do I even think of tobacco. I know this will be the case with sports betting, however, there are plenty of tough days between now and then. And quite honestly, I’m not worried about the end game, I’m worried about getting through each and every day.
Again, I thank you for your kind words. I’m glad to be here and I know I wouldn’t be where I am at without this forum! See you all tomorrow for another day quit!
