@WinkTinkTillium Congrats on quitting smoking, I hear that can be a real bitch. I totally agree, once you're over something, having/or seeing something similar can cause you to jump right back in. Abstaining is always easier than trying to dig yourself back out again. No thanks.

I like to look in the mirror and love the man I see.

Truth. The daily things I do and still are learning how to do is 100% easier than crawling out of my self induced shithole.Sure some vigilance and awareness is necessary but it gets easier over time and there's nothing so bad about simply maintaining some semblance of awareness to avoid something that robbed us of so much.

This is completely true. I've been on this mission for four and half years now (give or take) with some really long streaks and some shorter ones, but the more I've done this, the easier it is to quit cold turkey.Like working out perhaps - a SOB to gain muscle but once there it takes a lot less to keep.
