Hi Steve,
I have been reading your blog for a long long time and i have a fair idea of what you have done thus far. Therefore, reading your day 23 blog entry was a little suprising because i never thought you would say that. My immediate response was 'dont give up'. I discussed it with my wife and she promptly said 'i think he should quit if he feels disconnected from his family'
So as a family we are 50-50. But like many others suggested you could maybe tune it down to a lesser number of days and stop say like just before Christmas (wanted to say Thanksgiving but realised it was round the corner
). I feel your feeling of disconnect could get exacerbated during Thanksgiving and Christmas and it could affect your family's spirits as well. All the best in whatever you do...i am keenly watching
