How I did it
It made me
Proud 
How I did it: After all this time, trying every gimmick I finally have done it. The cravings can be dealt with. The saved money is great. What did it take? A reprogramming of my mind and personality. Getting real with myself. I came up with so many "reasons" - excuses in sheep's' clothing, of why I could not stop. It was not until I decided to keep my word to myself (part of my new mindset) that I succeeded.&nb… Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy
How I did it: Sold the toons. When I decided to quit I sold the toons and it is done :) Have now been paid for them and I won't ever play again. Starting was my first issue but stopping proved difficult because I realize that because of the problems in my relationships it caused me to become hermit-like Read how I did it…

11 Years is a lot of time to gather “stuff”. In the end it does not matter. I have packed my life down into a few boxes of important stuff. Clothes (nudity isn’t accepted generally yet), Love (mementos from my daughter), A way to communicate (Computer for me … pens and paper too), Memories (Also on my hard drives as well as my head). I wish it added up to more but the more I think about it the simple stuff is the good stuff. Glad I did it and I hope I look back 11 years from now and realize it was worth it.
I saw Tina and the kids today. I was on my best behavior while we loaded boxes. Didn’t get more than 10 mins with Tina but I got most of the day with the kids. I did get to make them lunch. KD for the kids (requested Daddy’s way) and then my wife and I sat and ate. I could tell she was uncomfortable like this BUT enjoyed it. We continued packing and as the evening there was talk of them staying so we could do more packing. They decided to go home and come back Friday. I was comfortable with that but confused at the same time. I asked her about it and she said she hadn’t planned for it so she was not ready. I understand that. Then they left. My sunshine left and it was dark. The nightmare has returned.
