I decided to quit dipping yesterday after I left the dentist due to the fact the day before my grandson told me when he grew up, he wanted to be just like me and dip. I have been doing this crap for years and have tried quitting many times but after what I heard my grandson tell me kind of hit home. I didn't want him to be like me always needing a dip to get through certain things in life. I have spent the last 35 years dipping and its time to put it down and walk away. Today was my first full day and I wont lie, it is pure hell!!! Ive chewed gum, sucked on suckers, sucked on jolly ranchers, felt like I was going to throat punch my boss, gone to meetings and for no reason at all just get so pissed off I had to walk out of the meeting. The suckers, Jolly Ranchers and Gum may be helping a little but not a whole hell of a lot. I just feel like I could rip someone's head off and shit down their neck and just laugh in their face! excuse my language but just being honest. I'm gonna kick this bad habit one way or another though because this has got to get easier each day!!
Yep. That's day 1 for you alright!
You're absolutely in the right place if you want to quit. You've managed to get signed up, so I imagine you know what your next step is... get on over to the
October quit group and post roll with a bunch of quitters who are going through the same things right now.
Make your promise to each other to stay quit every day by posting roll, get to know your fellow quitters, and you'll be amazed at how well it works. As addicts, we were willing to lie to ourselves, our spouses, our friends and family at the drop of a hat... here, though, you'll find yourself surrounded by people who know all those lies, those dodges, those excuses we told ourselves for years. They won't let you balk on your promise; you won't let them go back on theirs.
I dipped for 33 years before finding KTC, and I've posted - and kept - my promise for the last 561... and if I can do it, man, I
know that you can do it, too!
