I am a quitter. Seriously, I never finish anything. It’s quite likely that I’ll make three posts on this blog and then sadly neglect it for the rest of eternity. But on the off chance that I actually stick with this thing, maybe I should say something about myself.
What can I write. A list of facts, that when tallied will tell you little about me? I’m 34, I live in sin with my “boyfriend” of 7 years, I’m the mother of one daughter. I’m a feminist, book junkie, love music, love to dance. I do yoga sometimes, other times I lay in bed waaaay too much, usually reading. I’m a good cook and a horrible housekeeper. I used to practice Buddhism but I let that slide, now I’m thinking of getting back into meditation again. I have 30 journals with the first 3 pages filled with writing and all the rest still blank. I’ve been in community college off and on for 12 years – I only need to finish my math requirement to graduate, that’s been my status at school for over a year now.
My daughter has super powers, or so she tells me. She is super-fast and super-smart and super-strong, she can blow up bad guys with her mind. Her dad is super-strong and super-smart. My super power, according to her, is that I can turn myself invisible.
My secret identity is that I can turn into a bottle cap.
Somehow, these things seem to fit me very well.

“I am a quitter. Seriously, I never finish anything.”
You’re not the only one.
Peace.

I think a lot of what you say hits home for many of us. Down to the journals with the first 3 lines – how did you know?
Thanks for writing, keep it up.

Thanks for keeping this blog. It may well be the first positive suboxone anything I have read. Other than what is put out by the drug companies. Anyhow I will take my first dose whenever it is that i have eaten the last of my pills….(so that will be sooner rather than later). As a methadone patient. (How dumb am i to get hooked on the drug i was taking to get hooked off the the other drugs).
Its is a lonely world when 96% of your family and friends dont know what’s “wrong” with you (meaning me). Who am I kidding i shut most of them out years ago.
Heres’ to starting life over at 34!

Hello, quitter.
I quit all the time. I found you through Mr. Books. I have always quit. I have a doctor’s appointment this Thursday. I have every symptom of fybromyalgia, so we’ll see. I just hurt and I’m so tired. I’m currently a little under the influence. I never used to really drink, but I just hurt. Did I already say that? Anyway, I look forward to some answers. I will be 35 in a few weeks. I have two kids and a husband who doesn’t have a freaking clue what is wrong with me. I want answers!

I can totally relate to what you said about having 30 journals with the first 3 pages filled in. My blog is my journal now and for some reason knowing that other people are reading it makes me more accountable. I’ll be exploring your entries with interest!

I try to be the eternal optimist that I am trying everything once…unfortunately that usually means I try and quit before it’s even completed. Your post resonates with me completely. I started a blog on virtual therapy so hopefully get people to connect who are going through whatever and share what works. We shall see if I can keep that moving. Great posts!!

Hi there,
I came across your blog and wanted to contact you directly, but couldn’t find a direct email link. Our website – http://www.withdrawal-ease.com – is trying to help people deal with withdrawal from opiate addiction. Please let us know if you’re interested in exchanging links or establishing a dialogue. As you’re obviously aware, many people can’t afford treatment centers and/or are afraid of discussing prescription drug problems with their doctor; we’re trying to fill the gap by providing some low cost assistance, information and support. Would appreciate any feedback, links or dialogue.
Thanks,
Clayton
