Well I gotta tell ya it's been fun sailing around with all of you fine ladies and gentlemen but here is my stop....Oh sand, how I've been dreaming of you for 50 days now. Now I get to finally meet up with some buddies on the beach that I've been looking forward to meeting for so long...I'm finally here and this is the longest quit I have ever had and unlike the last time I know it will be the last....Thank you all so much for your love and support....It has been an honor knowing all of you.
Ok, that last bit almost sounds like goodbye which is not the case. Just goodbye to the ship.

P.S - I have started production of my first album ever. After 100 days my singing voice is where it should be and I have the money to back it now. It was going to be a demo only but hey "It's time." All good things come to those who wait. To my shipmates "See you on the beach."

I'm sorry buddy. That sucks. I'm sure you already know it won't just be one but I'll save that crap for another date. Congratulations on 40 days!!!! You have battled your way through this day by day and you have come so far. When I get depressed I try not to exist in anyones life at all even my own. I may have a weird outlook on things sometimes but after watching many of my friends do awful things to themselves and put themselves through such agony I have to believe that my way may be what spares me. Sit back, relax, and reflect. How will you be remembered? What is the worst thing that could happen right now? What strengths would other people say you had if they were asked? I got sick last year and was out of work for a week. I felt so bad because I work for a great and understanding company. They tried to give me all the days as sick days and I insisted on them taking at least a couple vacation days. Then I thought back to some other places that I have worked where if I were on my death bed they would be ringing my phone off the hook threatening to take my job. Who wants to work for one of these companies anyways? Then others will say "Some people don't have a choice, we have put up with this stuff, there are no options for me." Then ask again "What's the worst that can happen?" Weird question I know but it helped me. I always worried about every move I made when I was younger. It was like I was 45 when I was 18 if that makes any sense. It took many years but after awhile I realized that the worst that could happen is that I would die. Then I back tracked a little more until it was "wouldn't have food" "wouldn't have shelter." Then in the grand scheme of things what I need is very simple and that reduced my fear and I took some risks. Some have paid off and some have not but life is at least more interesting. Besides I would never let that happen to my family. I will do whatever it takes including digging ditches if need be.
Anyways, this post doesn't make any advice sense at all. Another perspective maybe and to ask "What if" So many people are chained by not asking that questions. Besides you wanted to chat. lol. Take care buddy. You're doing fine.

Congratulations DB!!! I'm glad you found us. This is a great place to post, vent, laugh, cry, complain, and go insane. Seriously though we all are going through the same thing and the support here is unmatched by any other outlet I have ever seen. PM mentioned a book called Allen Carr's - The easyway to quit smoking. It really is a great book and is written by an ex smoker so it's not filled with pictures and stuff. Take care DB. You're on your way.
