Finally made the plunge. On day 3. Felt very anxious on days 1  2. No patience with the kids. Trying to pick fights with the wife over small things. Luckily, she is aware and laughed it off. Been hitting the weights especially hard and really watching the diet. Taking a long trip to IKEA with the family later today. Anything to keep my mind from straying.

Make your pledge here, Ruth. You can read how here. You've stuck your toe in the freedom water but you gotta dive in, man. At first your nuts will shrivel to the size of a newborn gerbil but it doesn't take long before you're doing backstrokes in the koolaid... get some!

Hi Ruth.

How is the planning going? I didn't see you on the September roll yet? Did the last date with kodiak give you the buzz you've been looking for? Of course not, and they never will.

We know how hard this is. We all tried to rationalize ways to delay. Fighting for your life and freedom, and that is what you are doing, takes a lot of fortitude. Join us. Break free of the addiction. There won't ever be a better time than now...

'the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry'. The most carefully prepared plans may go wrong. Everybody makes plans for the future, but to often those plans do not work. I've got my doubts about this plan.

Wise advice you have received. Now listen to IT and not your addicted brain telling you to wait for a better time. Now, while the sting is fresh from an inquistive 3 yoa daughter.

Hello all,

    So I stopped using Kodiak about 30 times in the past.  My most recent attempt made it to 92 days but then I slipped.  My wife is supportive of my struggle but I don't think she understands the magnitude of addiction.  I have a beautiful 3 year old daughter and an 11 month old son.  I can't imagine not being there for them.  A few days ago I went to the drive thru to buy a can of Kodiak.  I told the guy I wanted a can of Kodiak.  Afterwards, my daughter asked me what Kodiak was.  I flat-out lied to her and said I didn't say Kodiak.  She then asked what I did say.  This just goes to show that she's getting too smart to keep this addiction from and I know she would never understand it.  So here I am, planning my next quit date.  Just wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself.

Her asking what Kodiak is cuts deep I bet huh? Why keep lying to her when you can be completely free and not a slave to a plant that all it does is kill us? This isn't going to be easy to start out with, but it gets easier as you go on. If you experienced any withdrawal symptoms during those 92 days then they're going to be the exact same but maybe worse because you started back up. But that pain you feel is well worth it for the freedom and relief you get as you continue your quit.

Have your wife read the main page. Killthecan.org there are some things for the spouses. Or have her read everything. It'll help her understand the addiction and just what it is that you're going through better.

Kodiak is an interesting date. She never pays. Only puts out on the first few dates really (when did you last relive that first buzz - really?). Gets really ugly as she ages (when you are young and don't know better it seems cool, as you get a little older you know how bad it is and looks.). I know - I was on a 25 year long date with kodiak. Do a little research... It is generally accepted that kodiak is one of the highest nicotine level products available. Then do some research into how poisonous nicotine is - one of the most toxic substances on earth. Then take a look at your wallet. Mine is 35 thousand dollars (yes you read that right) lighter because if all of those dates where I waited for kodiak to put out just one more time. Once you do these things, why don't you hop over to the pictures section and see what kodiak tends to do to addicts like you and me? Those stories and pictures make those dates seem much less appealing.
