Need to Quit for Good

[Kdip]

Welcome duvallp!!! You're not alone!!! I look back and can't believe how much time I wasted off hiding alone with a F'n can of cope! Congrats on the best decision of your life!!! Use the time you wasted dipping to be fully involved with your quit group and this site and you WILL quit and STAY quit!. You can DO this one day at a time!

With the exception of not letting cancer rot my mouth and throat away, the biggest benefit to quitting is being more social. I used to hide in my office at work with a big fat stupid dip in my mouth. Not only was it against the work rules, most of my co-workers would have thought less of me for doing it. Of course, I was only kidding myself. They probabley knew I was dipping and they did think less of me. Of course now I spend plenty of time with the guys I work with. I can't believe how much better I've gotten to know other people since my Quit. It's amazing how much time you can actually spend with other people when your not hiding somewhere with a spitter. I'm looking forward to our family XMas parties too. I won't be sneaking away into some corner with my can. I can enjoy my kids and the rest of my family without the shame.

Welcome to the big show Pat!

Let me know if you need anything. You've got a lot of reading to do :)

...beware the 70's funk, it varies, but statistically speaking that is most likely to be your next stretch of shitty days. Get to know your quit brothers.

Glad you found the site, it makes all the difference.

Welcome to Feb duvallp! Your story is just like mine and probably like most people's. I can think of any number of reasons to take another dip - but not one of them makes a damn bit of sense. Post your roll everyday and read the material available on this site. If you need a number don't hesitate to PM me.

I've been nic free for 55 days. This is the first day I've posted roll in the Feb. group. It nice to see the support from everyone on this site.

Good man! I missed your post over in Feb. but I see it now. Quitting is hard enough and I think it's even worse to try and go it alone. Get involved in this place and read everything you can because it will help you get through the rough patches. Just post up if you're having trouble and your inbox will be flooded with a bunch of people willing to help you stay quit. Make your quit THE most important thing you've got.

I've quit too many times to give up this time.  I usually get to about 30-60 days and lose my will power.  It sucks ass because every day is a fucking battle.  I'm not going to go through this shit again so I'm not going back to the can this time.

Get yer quit on if you haven't dumped your stash yet. I don't see you on roll call anywhere so head over to March and post up if you don't have any nicotine coursing through your veins. Let's worry about quitting for today so post your promise, keep your word, and repeat it tomorrow. Do that, and the quitting for good will work itself out in the process.

I could have said the same thing...quit lots of times. Sometimes I would justify my cave claiming that I had proved to myself I could quit if I wanted to, but chose to start again?!! How fucked up is that? That was just addict-speak...that was the Nic bitch talking. I've told myself all kinds of bullshit like that over my 20 years of dipping. I was never honest with myself.

But this time is different. I just hit 100 days and THIS IS MY LAST fucking quit! The only thing I have done differently this time is use this site. Posting roll, reading the stories of others, and mutual support has gotten me here.

You've taken the first step in quitting. Let this site keep you quit. Stay strong brother!
