New Guy - 3 days late...
« on: February 11, 2009, 12:26:00 AM »
Hey Guys/Gals:

My name is Tony, and I've been dipping pretty steady now for about 3 years. I blame it on my college buddy - "Man, have a bit of this COUG, it will send you to cloud 9".

Then a couple years later I moved away to San Diego for a job (From the midwest, STL) and knew noone. Was bored one day, and hit up the local quick shop and bought a can. Was up to about a can a week while out there, then moved back to STL. Recently up to a can a day, even locking the office door at work to sneak in a daytime dip.

I accidentally quit cold turkey on my honeymoon (ran out quick and not much stuff to be found in mexico), and wish I stuck with it. Was fine for awhile, then fell victim to the routine, got gas, went inside, got a snack, got a drink, and got a can.

So I'm here for some help. I know I need it. It's more being accountable to people that care and know what you've been through, than being accountable to myself. Weird, I know.

A friend of mine is on here, and told me about the site way back in July 08. I joined, read all the info, was impressed, but then was lazy and chickened out. He's had his up and downs, and to see how much he claimed this site helped him brought me back. So I'm here now. Definitely not a victim, it's been all me. The only thing I expect is to be one proud MF'er in 100 days (or 97).

Feel free to send me mgs. Call me out, question me. I'm sure my story is nothing compared to others, but to each is own. Support is awesome from what I've already seen, and I think I'll need it...

Tony
