When it comes to any intimacy at all I happily look back at my vows to stay the hell away and then I have no choice because I promised. I've gone 8 months now and intend to for the rest of my life. Couldn't be happier with the results

I lost my job, fiance and every possession I had. I could no longer get it so I had to stop. I was hospitalized for a bipolar related psychotic break and haven't smoked for almost three months since I go out. Marijuana is the only thing that makes me feel good, but it is not sustainable and it takes away from every other aspect of my life until it's drained me like a parasite.

not very good at only consuming a little of something - blanket ban is easier to achieve as it doesn't give leeway to temptation.

I can stop for months at a time, but I will never say no.

I am in need of meetings, fellowship, people who know the disease.

Easier said then done. I can avoid political blogs, (or support groups like this,) when I feel I've spent too much time on them, at the expense of my family. Harder for me to abstain from viewing hot women on the internet or even free porn, if I get a hyper sexual mood which can be a side effect of bipolar hypo mania.

it helps me 'see' things in other perspectives and it helps me get to know people better and getting to know who they are on the inside not the outside.
