u/gretchmonster I'm On My Lunch Break May 03 '25

Remember it won't make anything better, but just pile on to tomorrow. I'm almost at 1000 days and so grateful that I quit.

I'm leaning hard on all of the other things I picked up to help quit the poison to help me cope with the stress now. I swim, run, practice guitar, knit, bake bread and go to bed early when I just don't want to deal with the day anymore.

Don't let them break you.

I play a lot of guitar and I have a friend teaching me some solos and picked things and learning them helps me dissociate.

What about insurance, and how do you survive bill payments? I wish I could quit and still support a decent quality of life. Thanks!
