You will feel so much better and possibly more empowered to make this transition. So what if you have lied. You're coming clean in all ways now. Enlist her support. She could be angry at first but, she could end up proud that you conquered the first of this on your own and know how serious you are.

Gosh, it's so much harder when you keep it to yourself. Don't you need to confess to your girlfriend and enlist her help again?

if you quit before, you know what to expect for the next few days, weeks maybe but you also know you can do it! You want it bad enough, you can do this. My husband knew about my quiting and was so so in the support department, not everyone understands what you will go through, but you have to do it for yourself and maybe fess up to her and she can help you go at it again for the last time. Others on here helped me so much with their advise, read it and post alot..it really helps. I am 32 days from a 5 year LT, it does get better, I promise.
