I truly hope my quit didn't start one day to late. I have put it off and put it off. Like many of you, I quit and my wife was so happy that I did. When I fell off the first time and my wife found out she was, to say the least, hurt (and PISSED) that I had lied to her. I made a promise then that I would NEVER dip again. When I fell off the second time I knew what would be at risk. I ran the risk of losing the two most important people in my life, my wife and 4 year old daughter. Not for dipping but for breaking my wife's trust and her heart. Yesterday she found out I was dipping again and as I write this I just hope it isn't too late. Before I believe I "quit" for my wife and her happiness but now regardless of what happens I quit for me because this addiction has caused me more pain and sorrow than any one thing in my whole life.
Hey Sawyer, not sure if you're aware, but you posted in another guy's intro. If you want to start your own thread, click "New Topic" at the bottom of the Introductions page. Don't worry about it, this site can take some time to figure out and it happens all the time.
Anyway, welcome to KTC. This site can be a great resource in your quit. The backbone of the system here is "Posting Roll." Roll is a daily promise not to use any nicotine product. You make that promise in your Quit Group first thing, every day. Your group is
December 2017. Everyone in that group will have a quit date in the same range as you. It's a great place to not only make your promise, but to connect with others going through the same thing you are.
I'm sorry about the situation with your wife. As addicts, most of us have hurt the people we love in favor of fulfilling our addiction. You aren't the only one who has risked a marriage because of dipping. I don't know your situation, but I do know that this site can keep you quit and will provide a verifiable record of your quit. You will track your days and make that promise every day. You will have something that you can show to your wife that proves you are quit.
Addiction is a bitch man. It doesn't mean you're a bad person, but it also doesn't negate how your behavior affects those around you. Using this site won't cure addiction, but it can help make you Quit. You can free yourself and become a former user. It's worth it man, find your group and start posting roll. Freedom is achievable and it's worth it.
Let me know if I can help with anything.
