I also stopped in the winter. The best thing was if I had hot flashes I'd step outside for a minute and cool off. Other than tht there's really no difference. I'd rather winter over summer to detox.

well I have to stick my .02 in I agree that the time to quit is when your ready, and now is the best time, but another point in your favor since its winter for you is this: I first got clean in the summer, and my detox was sheer hell ... it was so freakin hot omg. nights were the absolute worst, I sweated like crazy. so ... now. i'd say now.
I agree. Now is the perfect time. Get yourself an electric blankie, snuggle up and hang in there!
There is never a good time - - only the right time.
Hello Rob, I did it last October - here in Michigan. We're talking COLD mate! And there was much cold to come. As it was, it was the worse winter in a long time for us in the wonderful Great Lakes State. But for me It was a perfect time to detox. Not really the weather had a bearing, it was my level of willingness at the time, and the thought of what will happen if I keep on using. Longer I wait, harder the detox will be I kept thinking. The first step to recovery is to stop using and I had to grab the moment of willingness and run with it. Who knows where I'd be if I had waited longer. At that moment I was sick and tired of being sick and tired and wanted my life back before it was too late. And I wasn't really getting buzzed any more, I was just using to feel "normal". What I thought was "fun" had left the train station long ago.
You've got to be the one who makes the decision Rob. Nobody on earth can make it for you. All I've done was to share my thoughts with you of when I decided to jump off the drugs and alcohol to freedom. That's all I can do. Good luck my friend. We're here to support you!
This is the time if your ready....go for it!
