Haven't posted for a while, so here it goes. Everything is going pretty well. Over Memorial Day weekend I was around dip a good bit. However, not once did I think of caving. Actually, I was surprised. Not because I consider myself weak but because I figured that it might spark a trigger or make me "think" I missed it. However, none of the above. On a darker note, my best friend lost his 3 year old son this past Saturday. My wife and I traveled to see him and it was a very sad and stressful situation for me. Before I would have turned to dip to "de-stress" but I am proud to say that it never crossed my mind. I can't imagine the pain my friend and his wife are going through, but I remain strong in my quit.
I'm now at day 27 and tomorrow marks a full four weeks I've been quit now! Very proud of myself (as well as the rest of you). I really never thought I would get to this point, mainly because when I quit I didn't have a strong desire to. However, as the days ticked away, I found that my desire to quit grew stronger everyday. The positive "side effects" (whiter teeth, fresher breath, not having to "ninja" dip, etc.) have definitely strengthened my quit as well. This Thursday will mark the day that I FINALLY tell my wife about my quit and to proclaim to her that I am 30 days nic free!! I am planning on taking her out for a few drinks to celebrate and I will keep everyone posted with her response.
That's pretty much what's going on for now. Just thought I'd give everyone a little update. You all take care and stay strong! Together we got this!! 'Cheers'
