Hey guys.
My name is Graham Sizemore. I am 17 (as of 10,23/2013, currently over 18 - Edit Mjollnir) years old, and I will be 18 this Wednesday (October 23rd). I've been dipping for about two years now, and for the last 6 to 8 months I have dipped about a can a day. I have decided many many times before to quit dipping, and a couple times I've found my way on to this site but never actually joined or posted. It has been 5 days since my last dip (Tuesday, October 15th). I may be a young dipper but I am already hopelessly addicted. I almost caved today and even drove to the store, but I bought I bottle of water instead of my usual grizzly wintergreen longcut. I'm happy I made it through today, and proud I didn't call it quits like I have so many times in the past. The longest I've made it in a quit was probably about two weeks. I'm looking forward to talking to you all and hopefully becoming friends with my fellow January 2014 quit group members. Also, if you have any tips about using the site or tools to help me quit please let me know, this website is pretty damn confusing for a newbie. I think my 18th birthday will be a very, very hard day in my quit, seeing that I will finally be able to legally buy dip. I am confident, however, that I can push through that unique milestone.

gsizemore95 -- 16 first day posting
Hey brother, what happened to Oct last year?
topic/1010717/1/#post2389291Sizeless....
Spitstickler's absolutely right....ain't no way in hell you're gonna waltz in here at the end of a day (supposedly 16) and "grace us with your presence".
You obviously have been here before, so you should be familiar with the rules...In your OLD Group (the one in which you WOULD HAVE hit 100 days) AND in this group (Sultans of September 2014) you will answer the three questions.
1. What happened?
2. Why did it happen?
3. What are you going to do differently to make sure it doesn't happen again?
Think long and hard on your responses....the Sultans can smell bullshit a LONG way off. IF you don't care enough to put some thought, heart, and soul into your answers, why should we care enough to accept you and agree to hold your sorry ass accountable?
And with the answer you just gave him....you can keep friggin' walking....
1. I turned 18. Buddy I used to dip with had recently turned 18 as well. He told me I needed to go to the store and get my first legal can and have a dip with him. I started right back where I left off and ran away from the site like a bitch. Never came back until today. It IS my 16th day and I'm very committed.
2. I was weak and caught up in the idea of being legal. I was stupid and gave in to everything I was running from.
3. I'm going to stay committed and remember exactly why I quit. I can't let up not even one day, not one time or I will fall back into exactly what I did before.
You're right it was a sorry half assed response I gave him, and apologize.
