Keep having these feelings, they come and go, already tripped once and determined to quit for good this time. So any advice from those that have quit?

When I tried this stage, I was told to suck it up.

I remember this friend of mine showed me something about how we draw that dependancy or something which eventually leads to a better lifestyle. Such a touching pamphlet. I'll see if there's a website
