Title: markhatescope intro
Post by: markhatescope on June 26, 2014, 11:37:00 PM
I am at the end of day 7 and still getting the hang of the site. Tougher to do through the haze of "the fog" but I am getting there and several guys have been helpful. One such guy encouraged me to write an intro, so here are a few thoughts (thanks CavMan83). I am 43 and started dipping Chokengaggin at the age of 13. I was a can a day kind of guy--primarily ninja style. First several days of my quit were not surprisingly pretty rough but I spent a ton of time on the site reading....which i find to be very helpful. An educated quit is powerful and was never part of any previous attempts.

I am quitting for me but my wife and three awesome kids are certainly part of the deal. I came clean to my kids when i quit for a few reasons---one of the primary reasons was for that layer of accountability. Another was for them to see that everyone has their demons, its what they do with them that matters. Dad being larger than life feels great, but I figured my kids would benefit more from seeing their dad fight this one out.

7 days seems like forever ago and 100 days feels like an eternity, but ONE F'ing DAY AT A TIME is the motto around here and I love it. I will not put that shit in my lip today! You have my word.

Congrats on your choice mark! A decision you won't regret.

Great job on coming clean, but please remember one thing. The fight with nicotine can be a nasty one. You may find yourself going in and out of anger and many times, a big emotional mess. Bring the tough things here, we can take it, don't take it out on the kiddos.

Shout if you need anything, people will be running to help.

I let my oldest in on my quitting, but it was because he fingerbanged a can of beef jerky.

Like DAD.

IN FRONT OF MOM.

I've never felt so worthless in my life. That was the event that got me off my ass again and back to quitting. I found myself here, and the rest is history. Throughout the process, I've talked to him about how hard the stuff is to quit. I've told him when I've had bad days because of it. Hell, he loves my KTC shirts I sport and he knows this place as the "quitter site".

He may want to be like me when he grows up, but I can help him be better. He doesn't have to be an addict.

Hey Mark just looked at your posts. Looks like you posted roll on Wednesday, then did nothing yesterday until posting an intro late at night. Here's my advice. Nothing on this site matters if you don't post roll. First thing in the morning make your promise. Then you can come here or go to the chat room or whatever else. If you really want to quit, and quit the KTC way, post roll everyday.

werd.....

price of admission mark.....roll should always be posted first.

then you are absolutely welcome to prance around our little valley....we have some very funny stuff scattered around that you will relate too....read old threads....look around the wildcard.....we have some very heartfelt confessionals....grown men and women discussing very frankly their addiction, how they let family down, how nothing has worked...until now....

hell, we even gots some boobies scattered around if you hunt for them......and we all know the occasional booby hunt is one of lifes purest joys.....

post roll first....then partake of the bounty of the land.

Welcome Mark. Congrats on getting a week under your belt. That is HUGE! Remember this: if you post roll and keep your word today, you will NEVER have to do those days over again....ever! Don't get caught up on future numbers. You will get there eventually. You cannot get to day 8 if you cannot crush day 7 right? Its all about today. You will hear that all over KTC. It's the damn truth. Listen to these people. We all had to do each day one day at a time. What are you doing to help wih the craves? Are you getting some numbers? Have you reached out to your group? Make relationships. Use your numbers. Read everything you can on this site. CavMan was right, doing an intro will help you meet other quitters and you will have a place to log your quit like a journal.

Quit with you! Let's crush today!

Congrats on making a great choice, Mark!!! 43, started at 13, inspired to do this in part by your wife and kids? Same story here. Just reading about your quit got me fired up about mine. There is no going back now. One week is huge...but it is nothing compared to what you will do ONE DAY AT A TIME.

Post roll, read all you can...especially the Tom and Jenny Kern Story...and enjoy your new life of freedom. You got this, brother!
