Anxiety

[Done4Me]

This guy has work to do before he can post a day 1. Hoping he's taking the right steps, making the right calls to come back and post a day 1.

D4M... This guy was you, and me, for a long time. We knew better but we made excuses for way too long. We came here, reached out, and stepped up. This site - this program - saved our lives but more than that, made them worth living again. That is what this dude doesn't get - none of us deep done really gave a guck about our health. That stuff happens to other guys. Right? We didn't realize that LIFE was the reward. Freedom from lying, hiding, sneaking, and time for ourselves and our family.

This guy was us. But he couldn't be any more different from us now. I really hope he and his wife finish that conversation they were gonna have on Saturday and that he comes back and jumps in. Because if you and I can do it, he can too.

W2W - I had the wrong guy, lots of new and potential August quitters coming through here. Screaming Monkey has been gone 4 days. One and done or does he have the balls to quit?

Whats the deal screamer? Are you going to be a man for your wife and children and learn how to actually deal with shit, or are you just going to stay in some half numb slavery existence?

Your an addict and you're making half cocked excuses to justify continuing getting your fix. it's time to jump in with both feet. Flush it and post day 1.

[Jerk11]

C'mon Screaming, get in here and post your Day 1, throw away your nasty can of cancer and stop over thinking it. For me, an addict that was totally powerless for 7 years, thinking about quitting was actually much harder than just fucking doing it. It gave me anxiety that I would have to learn to live without my little snaggletooth, homely buddy that ran for $5-$7 at every convenience store. Sorry to be blunt, but you have 7-8 BAQ in your corner to help you along the way to

It pisses us off to know that you are using lame excuses that involve the wife and addict speak to mask the cowardly refusal to take the plunge and SAVE YOUR LIFE. Because, you my friend, are WORTH IT.

You do have SOME control over this, you know? I get that you are going to be frustrated and feel some rage. But even in the midst of complete SUCK you CAN control your actions to a point.

Stop the falling on the sword act. We're addicts here. We can smell addict talk a mile away.

A screaming monkey? Cone on bro. You're scared shitless. We get it. But take the plunge we are here for you.

You want to go off on someone, come on her and go off on me. I don't give a fuck.

You just have to stop being a bitch boy and Quit.

I'm getting anxious to know if your wife prefers you with or without a lower jaw. The time is right. Join us. No more excuses. This team will help you succeed at something we all failed at for many years.

If I can do this, you can do this. Cmon man. Join us. Take your life back.

Damn just damn!

The lower jaw IS a struggle.!

And the food from the blender going down the tube to your stomach takes a bout 12-15 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day. This also brings on anxiety and is no fun.
It's a fact... She will not like either one of these possible consequences.

Such addictive talk... Oooh I don't want my wife to have to deal with me being grumpy....
Grow some .... She doesn't deserve your anger.... You started this. Bring your anger here to Pab!
He's the big ol boy in cover-alls, wearing the John Deere cap!!!

No gum, no chew, no cigar, no cigarette ZERO NICITINE!

Quit grinding your teeth, and start relaxing knowing we got your back.
You trust us... We will trust you.
I quit with you for the next 24 hours.
You ready to help us help you?

Yah! Me too! Worktowin is a badass quitter, and you'd be a fool not to follow him. C'mon man, just do this! It's not complicated. You just have to want it. For fucks sake, be stronger than a can of weeds!

[worktowin]

Looking forward to an update.

[pab1964]

Look here my friend, this shit is as hard as it gets for me! The rage was awful, sometimes embarrassing. I listened to these guy's, talked to my wife, gave her a heads up and said look you can handle me being a dumbass, let me get through this struggle of addiction because I want to live for myself, you and my kids! Grab your sac deal with it, learn to walk away! And yes I did shut myself in my room at time's, need to have your wife on board it helps. Start raging bring your ass in here and cuss, scream and yell at me, I'm a grown ass man and I can handle it! I dipped 38 years and have been quit for 118 days if you want this YOU CAN DO IT! I quit with you today my friend!

Thanks worktowin.
We dont take it out on our family. Exactly, but without some sort of plan itll happen. I dont want it to happen even once this time.
While the right thing to say is yeah Ive quit - no I havent but Im here.
I need to talk with my wife and work something out first. An understanding of some sort so things dont become stupid and add anxiety. Does that make sense?
I know I can quite with support. AA 20 plus yrs ago and still goin. I physically went to meetings and that helped alot in spite of myself back then.
ive always been a loner man and been accused of not being a team player a few times so Im not digesting that part of the plan so well. the plan looks like a solid place to start though.
Here I am rambling on like a train wreck of excuses so Ill go ahead and stop.
Ill have that talk with my wife tomorrow since thats all I can figure for tonight.

Have your wife read this: http://www.killthecan.org/community/spousal-support/

It sets the stage for how she can support you but above all, any moment you feel the need to rage, jump on this site and sling it every which way to want to. 355 days ago I was exactly in your position. All it takes is the integrity to make a daily vow to not use today and keep you promise. Wake up, do it again. Beofre long you'll be surprised at how far along you are and in the meantime, you'll learn the tools needed to cope with triggers, assholes that cross your path in life. You can be as successful as you want here.

First thing to make this happen is you have to be quitting for you.

How about a weekend surprise for the bride? Toss the can, post your day 1, print the spousal support letter and talk with her now (or when she gets home).
