Do you and would you have the ability to help out with the SSOA/ tracking down the missing/ and/or roll flipping duties in your April 2020 quit group? Any help at all is much appreciated and goes along way when it comes to Brotherhood + Accountability. Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,
Thanks for keeping up with this site.  I have been a lurker on here for a few weeks, it was awesome to see the stories from guys that have been there, and give me an idea of what to expect.  I didn't think I would need anymore than that, but only week into it and I am struggling.

I am 39 yo, married father of two (3 and 1).  I took my first dip over twenty years ago, tin a day (grizzly) for the last 14 or 15 years... wow seems weird to see it in writing.  I have never tried to quit before, I don't like failing, and sadly killing myself was easier than bothering to try. 

When my wife asked me why I was quitting, why now, all I could say was that it's time.  I'm not sure if it's setting a good example for my young kids, or that fact that I'm coming up on 40.  I don't know if it's the realization of thousands of dollars that I've spent on this nasty habit or the fear of getting sick and letting my family down.  Likely it's a combination of everything, and all that matters is that it's time.  It's time to start holding myself accountable, it's time to get well.

Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing.  I'm just getting started down this road and it has already been immensely helpful.  Stay strong KTC.

Welcome Dave. This place works, the vets are amazing at picking you up when it gets tough. I had quit many times only to fall right back in. The addiction thing is real and as stated that realization put a different spin in this my final quit. Go easy on yourself, allow yourself to heal. You are in the toughest part and from here it gets progressively better. Contact me if I can help.

I don't know if it's the realization of thousands of dollars that I've spent on this nasty habit...

Welcome. Nice job posting roll, and congrats on your decision to quit.

I just need to point out one thing - this is not a habit. It is a full-blown addiction. Realizing and respecting that will go a long way in being successful.
