Hello everyone,
Today, IÂ’m going to stop quitting! IÂ’ve been quitting dip for the past 10+ years and IÂ’m done with it! IÂ’m ready to be quit!
My relationship with dip is probably not unlike Many others....it’s a vicious cycle. I would dip for a long time, “quit” for a short time, slip, and start over.
I would hide it, sneak it, lie about it...hurt my wife, waste time, waste money, and waste my life!
IÂ’ve been on this site before...posted, hit 100+ if I remember correctly, stopped coming (in my youthful ignorance, I think I believed IÂ’d be just fine....I wasnÂ’t), slipped again, and started that same fucking cycle.
IÂ’m done quitting. IÂ’m done with the cycle. IÂ’m ready to enjoy my kids, my wife, my life, without being addicted to this shit anymore.
So, I’m back on this board. Knowing now that I need it. I’m ready to be quit, once and for all. I’m done “quitting”!

Hey man. Welcome back. Post up in the December 2018 group.
You're going to get asked to answer some questions in Dec '18, and your original group...
1) What happened?
2) Why did it happen?
3) What are you going to do differently this time?
I suggest putting some thought into these, and your answers. They are for introspection, and also to help out other quitters - new and old - who might find themselves in the same circumstances you faced.
So let's get posted, get some answers up, and get on to quitting together.

Hey BigMac,
I am stoked that you want to be quit. I saw that you posted roll and saw your responses to the three questions that SAMRS asked you to answer.
I am concerned about some of the things I read in your intro here.
"Today, IÂ’m going to stop quitting! IÂ’ve been quitting dip for the past 10+ years and IÂ’m done with it! IÂ’m ready to be quit"
You say, "I'm going to stop quitting!" The fact of the matter is, you have never quit in your life. You have had a lot of times that you have stopped dipping. I dipped for 31 years. I stopped for a period of nine months back in 2000. I thought about quitting many times but I was never really ready to give it up. One day, it finally clicked in my head that it was time to quit. I knew at that point that I was ready to quit. You can never really quit until YOU are ready. You can't quit for anyone else either, it has to be FOR YOU. So for you to say that you have been quitting for the last 10+ years is not accurate. You have stopped using dip occasionally for the last 10+ years and now you are Ready to Quit.
"IÂ’m done quitting. IÂ’m done with the cycle. IÂ’m ready to enjoy my kids, my wife, my life, without being addicted to this shit anymore."
The last part f this line is what is most concerning to me, "without being addicted to this shit anymore". You, my friend will ALWAYS be addicted to this shit. Just like me and everyone else on this site. You are an ADDICT. You need to come to terms with the fact that you will always be an addict and you will never be cured otherwise you will cave AGAIN.
That is my rant.
I am truly happy that you have decided to quit this time and not just stop. I know all the guys that were giving you shit about your 3 questions answers also are happy to see that you want to be quit. Everyone here wants you to succeed. Yes they are going to give you shit, it is called hard love and it works well for addicts if you let it and don't take it too personally.
My digits are in your inbox.
This is chris2alaska, I am 239 days quit and I am proud to quit with you today.
