Danny,

Congrats on quitting! Do you know how lucky you are to get a first response from Syndrome? That dude is pure fucking legend. Read his shit like he says.

You can do this man, post roll, stay accountable every day, and don't look back; just look forward to your new life of freedom.

Danny,

You are right you are an addict. Good choice to QUIT.

Post roll with November --this is your promise not to use dip/nicotine today. We quit one day at a time.

You can do this, but make sure you are doing it for YOU not your girl.

Also, read everything on this site and get involved--there are a lot of tools on this site that will help you stay quit here.

Get to know youe November quit group and exchange some number.

Stay Quit--Good job on 5 days!

I'm Danny, and I am an addict.

Figured I'd post and introduce myself to everyone. I'm Danny, I'm 25 years old, and I'm an addict.

I'm currently on Day 5 of my quit. I hid my habit from my gorgeous girlfriend who I met last April. We went on a week long trip to Florida a few weeks ago, and apparently it was way too hard to hide it from her since it was my first time spending a whole week with her by my side. She was extremely disappointed when she found out about my habit (she seen the can through my pocket). She even cried and I could tell it hurt her pretty bad that I hid it from her.

That's when I realized how rediculous it is that I would hurt someone I care about so much over a can of poopy.

Anyway, Thursday night I left to go camping with my girl and decided no more hiding it from her and tossed all my cans and left without taking any with me. I figured she was driving so the only way I could cave is if I asked her to stop at a convenience store so I could buy my can of cow turd, which I know I wouldn't do.

And wow did these withdrawals hit me hard this whole time camping, I was irritable, foggy headed, and even my girlfriend kept asking me "what's wrong?" she said I seemed "Spacey" which I was. But I didnt want to tell her why because I'd rather just keep it to myself and not have her think about it with me.

It even got to the point where I became fixated on having a chew today when I returned home from camping. I got back at about 9PM tonight and was about to go to the convenience store to go buy some and then my girl called to talk for a bit.

And when we were on the phone I decided to tell her why I was so "spacey" during the camping trip. And she was actually so happy when I told her, the only complaint she had was why I didn't tell her sooner. She is such a great support and I think that's what I needed. She even told me not to quit for her but to quit for myself. I told her I am, but she is my biggest motivation.

And I'm very happy to be on Day 5 and can't wait to go anymore, it's funny how one phone call changed my whole outlook for the day. Thanks for reading and hello to everyone!
