I used to.
I quit.
I'm not sure how or why..
But I managed.
My best friend once told me..
"It's too late for me."
It's not.
It's never "too late" for anyone.
If you work hard, you can stop.
Anyone can.
With support, it'll go all the easier.
Now here's my advice on how to:
I think that first you have to realyl want to stop.
And it seems you do.
So, that's good.
Because if you don't WANT to, it'll be useless the help I try to give you.
Now, I gave this really neat speech to my other friend who used to,
but I lost that email, unfortunately. So I'm going to try to recreate it..
For me, I just found other things to do.
I read a lot. Or I'd go on the computer.
If I was angry, I'd wait a little while to cool off before I'd use the weapon.
And after I cooled off, I lost the urge to.
And if I was sad.. I'd just sleep.
Or I'd post somewhere on Gaia and just drone on..
Make a list of things to live for. Of things that make you happy.
Memorize the list. Recite it every day.
Occupy yourself.
Put what you use in a really complicated place to get it.
So when you do want to use it, it's liek a treasure hunt and by the time you get to it, maybe you'll have rethought it.
I'm not so good with the advice.
But, if this doesn't help you, I can go more in depth.
Forgive me for my terrible advice.
