Welcome @Edward 
Care to share your reason for wanting to change? It’s a big motivator for keeping on the right track.

I want to stop my bad habits because of my family.I’ve been married for 14 years to the most caring and beautiful woman who has been with me through my good and bad times. Also we have 4 daughters from ages 2-14 years of age and I notice that they are seeing and understand a lot things now. Them been my princesses I would hate for them to know about the drug habits and don’t want to disappoint them.I’ve been a contractor for 15 years and they see me as the strongest man in the world and it would kill me to know that they think different of me due to a stupid drug! So my family is my main REASON for changing.

Sounds like my story. My husband made it clear, if I keep this up he will divorce me and take the kids. Eyes opened!
