"...try my hardest to post Roll call."


"...and hope to pen my own some day. "

You've got the proper motivation, but you better get your mindset more right than it is right now.

I know it's not intentional, but every time you use the word "hope" and "try", you need to kick yourself in the balls.

Tell your wife to go read a few of these intros - she'll understand. That said, your addiction doesn't give you any excuse for making her life more miserable. You've got us for that. Keep venting here.

Let me know if you need any more pearls.

Coming back to look at some of my earlier posts like I'm some kind of vet now. This has been the longest 19 days of my adult life. Fuck the nic bitch! Rewarding too, I asked my wife how many days i have been quit and she told me the correct answer. She has been paying attention. I think she is finally getting it. Yesterday I blew up a little and she let me go with it. In the past, the same situation would have had us arguing and yelling like two raccoons fighting for the last piece of corn. My wife is Irish and knows how to go head to head with the best. She let me win and later when I came to me senses, I realized that I was the fool. I made up for it, I hope. It cost me. Good luck all. Stay quit, we as a whole can do this!

I am not sure if I need to keep adding to my intro any time I feel the need to vent or I can just go off anywhere that looks good.  I know that I technically been off the worm food for almost a week but I haven't been 100% Nic free until now.  you see, i started the quit process on a Monday but was using the Nic cherry lozenges.  The first day went horrible, the 2nd day was alright and on the 3rd day I only used 3 of them, so I said I needed to get that f'n drug out of me for good in order for this to work.  No cope and now no nic.  They say the drug takes 72 hours to leave your body.  Well, I am clean if this is true.  Yesterday was a mother f'r.  I went out to the barn just looking for any old can that could have had a scrap in it.  I did a good job earlier of making sure everything was gone.  I could have caved but instead got back on here and started reading the HOF.  All of these people are true inspiration.  Today, I bit my nails until they bled but am still my own man and not a slave.  I think my wife is a bit irritated with me today.  I am going to have to make this up some how.  She has no idea of the hell I am going through and her only comparison is her not having caffiene when she was pregnant.  I am amazed that some people have reached out already with a voice of support.  The thing that I have to accept is that this is a life long ordeal and I can never let my guard down.  Just think, It all started standing around a fire, on a weekend , while I was in high school, just trying to be cool.  I can remember my first dip was skoal mint.  Its wierd how certain times in history can be etched in your brain.  Oh well, my crave a slipped away and I smell dinner cooking, I need to get back to the kitchen.

Hey Paul...

1st off... I am evil Paul. You can be good Paul.

I know the missus is pretty irritated. The best thing you can do is to get her on here and see the support and that what you are living through now is NOT abnormal.

Every single one of us goes through the fucked up shit. Some worse than others. But... IT DOES GET BETTER. and you can do it.

I sat my wife down and told her what the plan was and asked for her support. Then I printed off the spousal support info from the welcome center and gave it to her.

Now, I talk about what's going on in my group like I'd talk about my day at work. It helps me and it helps her feel involved in my quit.

Hang in there. QUit with us, and concentrate on one fuckin day at a time.

You can vent in your quit group too.... there's a whole bunch more traffic in there and it's easier to get to know your team rushing to the hall.

Hello, I quit at 5 pm on Feb 8 this year. This is officially the longest I have been without something in my lip since I got out of bootcamp back in 88. Was a user for 22 years at a rate of 1 or more cans a day of Cope. Fact is I tore up 10 dollars worth of coupons the day I quit.
My story is like 99% of the rest here. I read your featured article "The Top 100 Benefits of Quitting Dip" and didnt find one there that I couldn't relate to. I am going to keep coming back here and try to keep up with the sight and try my hardest to post Roll call.
I think its anger that has finally gotten me this far. It wasnt the cost and I dont really think it was the fact that it may have well if it hasnt already killed me one day. I was tired of being a slave. That shit had a string tied around my testicles and yanked me where ever it saw fit. I have tried quitting countless times, when I got engaged, married, house, kid, blah, blah blah. All ended the same. (PS wait until your girl is done with PMS before you start, you cant have two unstable people in the house at the same time.) This time it is for real. I really enjoyed reading the HOF speaches and hope to pen my own some day.
Well, again, here is my intro. I could type forever but its the same song everyone here has heard. Now I just want the freedom song.

Paul

Welcome,

Don't "try" to post roll everyday. Instead just post roll everyday. and well see you in the HOF.
