Good luck in your continuing struggle. As someone with an addictive personality, I understand what it is to overcome a life-threatening habit. Mine was alcohol, trying to self-medicate when I lost my young son. It's still a every day struggle and it's been 34 years since my last drink, but I don't let myself get lulled into complacency. I know your family will be SO proud of you sticking with your goal and you should be too.
