My name is King, I'm from Fort Worth, TX and I've been dipping non-stop for 15 years. I started out at 17 years old playing High School baseball. Fell in love with her from the fist pinch and she's been with me ever since.
I've had 4 breaks in those 15 years, three of them were 90 day, and the last one made it to 180 days back in 2010. Each of those times I knew I was just taking a break and that I'd fall back into it more than likely. The last time I thought I might have had it beat, but a bad day, a few beers, and a softball game and I was back stronger than ever.
This time is different. After watching my 4 year old daughter and her 1.5 year old sister play outside together a week ago, I realized it wasn't fair to them. I've danced with the reaper for a decade and a half and have been lucky, but Im done gambling my time with my kids.
My quit date is 9/22/13. I'm sitting in the Fog at work as we speak. The first 4 days were way worse than what I remember the other times being, but like I've read a few other times on these boards, One day at a time.
Thanks for this site, and any help I might receive in the future.
