Tomorrow is the day....

[Scowick65]

Nearing the end of day 8, it already seems like 30 days ago when I made that original post claiming to "quit tomorrow" (yea, I know now that that was lame lol). 

Does anyone ever feel anger that they made the decision to quit?  I mean I know that I will stay strong and not cave, and knowing that means that I made a decision that I will never enjoy a dip again.  I guess I'm not emotionally in check with that part of it yet....does this make sense at all???  Maybe that's what took me so long to sack up and quit already....I knew that it meant that I really had to quit and I was just not ready.  Now, it sucks becasue i CAN"T have a dip, not only will I let myself down, but will let my wife down, my family, and all of you.  Don't worry, I'm not fucking caving, I'm just pissed about it today.

In the past 6 months i've quit for:

One Day
3 Days
One week with one dip a day
Multiple weeks with every other day being a dip day

Guess what? You will always feel like - I CAN"T BELIEVE I WILL NEVER ENJOY ANOTHER DIP! but there comes a time when all of us bitches decided to be MEN. Man up, if you cave now, you have wasted 8 days of freedom and you are on the way back to DIP jail....If you fail at day 8 why the fuck should I try to make it past day 1? I'm just angry at the world today....HAHA

Don't even contemplate "forever". Yous just asking for a panic attack. Concentrate on today and today only. Today is really all that matters. Concentrate on doing the next right thing...the rest will take care of itself.

1 day at a time. If I could just impart two things to everyone it would be: always post roll and 1 day at a time. Glad you are here.

Good going buddy! You're stronger than that shit, keep it up!

Thanks guys......still going strong into the evening of day 2. Things are starting to get a little "foggy" (didn't really expect that part to be so real), headaches, etc, but hanging in there. I havn't gone more than 2 days without a dip in 13 years and tomorrow will be 3. I appreciate the support.

Hello all, my name is Chris I'm sitting here reading this site knowing that in one hour and four minutes will signify the deadline that I have set for myself to become dip-free.  I'm terrified and excited at the same time....very wierd emotions that I'm sure will change by the minute starting tomorrow.  Tomorrow I will quit something that I have done for 13 years.  I will beat it!  It would seem that I have found a great resource that I will be thankful for in the coming days, weeks, etc.  Thank you in advance for your support!

I was glad to see you in roll call, Chris. Welcome aboard!

I wonder if you would agree with us now that, "I will quit tomorrow" is not very helpful to you from now on. You can only quit in the present. A future tense quit is procrastination. A past tense quit is regret. There's freedom only in a present tense quit.

I can tell you that after 35 days quit, I'm surviving far better than I ever imagined.

Welcom Chris.

Chunkles has no idea how much better it gets. Hang in there, guys... you've got some awesome times ahead of you. Just gotta fight through the rough spots to get to them. I'm at 321 days and life is good. No, life is great. Freedom is great. Support and daily roll is STILL the key.

So Chris, if you quit today, let's see you on roll. No better time tha right now.

Hi Chris,

Congrats on your decision to finally quit. I also set a date like you did. I know that that's not the method recommended here on this site (it's stop NOW). But I hadn't discovered this site until after I quit.

What I can tell you is that when my quit day came, it was like a strange peace came over me. You have to make sure you throw away EVERYTHING! In fact, I found that throwing away cans that weren't empty felt powerful to me.

You have an advantage that I didn't have, however. You have found this site at the beginning. You will need to learn how to post roll and stay involved with the great people here. As Souliman says, you can't buy this kind of support.

I was scared shitless when my date came too, brother. After 28 years I was worried I wouldn't know how to survive without it. Well I can tell you that after 35 days quit, I'm surviving far better than I ever imagined.

You can do it. Don't let us down and don't let YOURSELF down.

-C
