To all the strangers who have reached out. Thank you! You are saving my life one dip-free day at a time
I keep reading stuff on here and feel compelled to post. read...post....read...post
On day 5 now and it feels so powerful that I have gone 5 days without a dip. I know all you vets are very aware of what this feels like, and I also know there is a long way to go.
2 things have helped a lot.
First, knowing there is a bunch of guys like you out there who know exactly what it feels like to drive, cut grass, watch sports, dip after lunch, have a beer etc. WITH a dip. And, in turn, know what it feels like to face all these small events WITHOUT a dip.
When you sit back and think about it, it was quite pathetic and sad. I still get the urge and know that may never go away, but also know that I would be a sad and pathetic litte prick if I cave.
Second, telling everyone! this has been great. I even tell people that I do not know that well. A few things have amazed me. Many people did not even know that I dipped. So, I guess I was a Ninja dipper. Next, many of my closer friends have said "about fuckin time you idiot" And, "remind me to stay out of our way for a wee while"
I choose to be quit.
Never Again
