I quit smoking nearly five years ago.
I'm not going to pretend it was easy, nor am I going to pretend it was as difficult as I have heard kicking other addictions can be.
But I can say that I do know what it's like, from the inside, to try so hard to give up something that is ruining you, draining you, scarring you and stealing your money and your soul, but feels so good at the same time that you not only don't know how to stop, you don't necessarily want to.
I quit smoking because a friend of mine had to quit for a surgical procedure. No one should have to do that alone.
If you are in the San Diego area and you or someone you care about needs to stop doing something that feels so bad and so good at the same time, and doesn't want to stop, and can't stop alone, a directory of San Diego drug rehabs is available online that gives you an idea of what each one has to offer.
The main commonality between all the treatment centers is that they don't want
people to have to go through it alone, without the tools they need to keep themselves
clean and healthy from now on. You can't ask for more than that.
