Hey all, sorry to disappear for a few days but I'm back. Things have been crazy the past couple weeks. We've had family coming in and out non stop since break started, so I've been busy spending time with them. I've had a few craves, but nothing too bad compared to the first couple weeks of my quit. Nothing else to report really, just thought I owed it to you guys to check in and apologize for my disappearance. Happy New Years everyone!

Derik, we figured you had caved. Glad that's not the case, welcome back. Your roll post says you're on the back 9. I'd say you haven't even teed off on 1 yet. You're still putting on your golf shoes on in the parking lot. QLFEDD.

Hey just remember we are all just a text away man we can help you with getting on post because we are all brothers or sisters of quit.

checking in is not acceptable.. unless your have 400 or so days under your belt. she may come calling on the day you don't post.. our word is our bondÂ… just a messenger.. ps don't forget to exercise..

Don't ever stray too far. No matter how many days we are all $5 and a bad decision away.

and besides remember Brotherhood, and extend it outside of this site. Make it real and you will never be out of touch again.

Day 42 and I wanted a dip so bad today. I quit my server job yesterday because the tips don't even come close to compensating for the lower pay rate. The stress of applying for new jobs was really getting to me, so I went and bought a can of Smokey Mountain. It didn't completely do the job, but it kept me from caving. Live to fight another day, that's all we addicts can do. Keep on fighting.

Nice decision today Derik! Hang in there brother. Good luck finding a new gig! 42 days is some good quittin. If you get some craves tomorrow... Use your tools. Hold your quit! See you tomorrow at roll.

X2. Hang in there buddy, do what it takes to keep your daily pledge. You've come a long way and you deserve freedom- but you have to maintain it. I'm pulling for you and proud to quit with you.

Well it's day 39 and the mouth pain has subsided again for now. If my quit pattern continues the pain will be back within the next week, but I'll take a pain-free week. Dip dreams are still going strong, but I'm starting to get used to them. Now instead of feeling sick and panicked when I wake up, I'm just annoyed and do a quick lap around the gums with my tongue on the off chance I really did cave. I was a bit irritable over the past week and a half, but that was just as much a product of finals week as it was of the Nic bitch. Hang in there everyone, I quit with you today.

It will likely subside soon enough. Keep us updated.

Just a quick little update, mouth pain is about where it was yesterday. It's inconvenient, but not painful enough to keep me away from my spicy foods.  :D

Also, I had another dip dream last night. I still can't get over how real they are... when I woke up I had to check all my old hiding places to make sure I hadn't actually caved. Stay vigilant men.

My wife is going to look for the fireballs tomorrow. Thanks. As for the cave dreams, I've had 4 so far. Each one has gotten more vivid than the last. Last night I was absolutely convinced I took a dip. I remember during the dream talking to myself and asking if this was a dream. I was so disappointed in my dream. It's like the movie inception or something. Huge relief when I finally realized it wasn't a dream. The guilt I felt is almost equal to a dream about beating the neighbor kid to death for offering me a dip? God I hope that was just a dream by majorhunting.

Mine have been getting progressively worse as well. Woke up from one last night where I was watching the football games with a big ol' fatty in and felt physically sick to my stomach. Granted, I've been sick the last day or two, but I haven't been having any stomach pains aside from after the dip dream. Seems like every time I get over one challenge the bitch flings another one my way. Fuck her, I'm winning this fight. 'Finger'

Yep, you keep that up Derik, each test she throws and you pass is one more she learns won't work on you anymore as long as you keep this ODAAT up! Very proud to quit with you again today cause you make my quit stronger.

Dip dreams are a natural thing and part of the healing process. At day 90 I had my first one and went about 40 days straight having one each night thereafter. Still have a couple to 3 every week. These are nightmares for me and I always wake up thankful I am quit and post roll immediately. Over time they will fade as our minds re wire. But for now... Embrace them for what they are... A reminder that you are quit and winning the battle today! Stay quit brother!!

I keep having these too. In my dreams I become so sad and dismayed at what i had done, and when i wake up i check my teeth for the shit stuck in em, or for bottles etc... i hate this shit. fuckin nic bitch.
