You've made a year.. 6 month is only a third of 18 months.. You've made it to 66% of that.. you CAN make another 33%.. see, you've held on for longer than you have left..
But forget the whole 6 months thing and give much shorter dead lines..
And I know this will sound naff.. but try andgive yourself treats for making it a week, 3 weeks, 6 weeks etc.. Thats how I'm treating my giving up smoking.. think of something that you oculd enjoy.. maybe a nice oil massage, or reflexology, or a hair cut.. I dunno.. but something that is a treat..
I know when I was at my most suicidal I would give myself a point to focus on.. a nephews birthday for example.. and when that passed I gave myself another one (normally the neices and nephews birthdays.. but with 8 of them it covers most of the year!)..
hnag in there honey.. just hang on tight
