Today is day 32 and I have made it through one whole month +1 - Fucking fantastic and I don't ever want to go back, I see how good it feels without using that crap! These are words I think to myself each and every morning when I wake up - and THEN I POST ROLL. I write this little tidbits of truth, K(nuggets) of Knowledge for myself and also those who may be just starting their journey, those who have not even quit yet, those who have been quit for 2,3,4,5 or 10 years who need that refresh in mindset. Hell I write these so my future self can come back and re-affirm yeah this is fantastic glad to be quit only wish you had done it a hell of lot sooner you dumbass!
If you are reading this it is because you are on quit chewing website and some part of your addict self wants to quit or you are quit - either way congrats on being here now make it happen or keep it up! The best way to do so on this site is to be present. What does that mean? Invest the time in the site by doing the following:
1. Posting Roll EACH AND EVERY SINGLE DAY
2. See step one make sure you did it...
3. Establish accountability with fellow quitters - make sure they post roll as well you are on this journey together.
4. Get Phone #'s for fellow quitters
5. USE the #'s you get - it's no good if you have a tool
6. Support Fellow Quitters in times of need
7. Assist and give advice to others on the site
8. Share your experiences for others and yourself
9. Explore the website there is an abundance of knowledge
10. Hop on Chat
11. ALWAYS BE QUITTING - did you do step 1?
If you do the above then the reward is your freedom from the can. For me that freedom means more time spent with my family, it means that I no longer have to plan out how to take a dip without anyone knowing (my wife, my coworkers, my friends) the lifted burden of Ninja dipping is enough of a reward by itself but wait there is more... I have saved enough in one month on something I have hidden for so long that I was able to make an additional $250 payment against my wife's student loans. Once those are gone the car... then the house... Vacation... Date nights, all of which sound a hell of a lot better than secretly sitting by myself and throwing cancer turds in my mouth. And what sounds the best is the future with my wife and my daughter. Doing anything that can take away time from them is selfish and looking back I just cannot believe I would have ever been so stupid. I am not the same person that I was 32 days ago who was ashamed his wife caught him after 8 years of hiding it from her, I am so so much better and I am so proud to quit with those who want to quit. I am a better person, a better husband and better father and i plan on taking that into other aspects of my life as well!
ABQ - Post that Roll - ABQ
This is a separate thing for me - Question for my future self (day 100) How much weight have you lost?
