August 2nd, 2009 -Day 66-

Life without dip is the better than I could have ever imagined. As you know, we will always need to stay focused and keep our guard up, but it is getting so much more rewarding that I can't fathom ever using nicotine again.

So far there are four things that I can say have contributed to my 66 dip free days:

1. Posting roll on this site everyday and promising my brothers I will not use nicotine. This site has been my support and I thank you all.

2. Exercising about 6 days a week. I took the aggression, pain and absence of dip and poured that energy into training for triathlons this summer. It kept my focus off of the negative and turned it into a positive thing.

3. Cymbalta - Thanks to my doc and Eli Lilly. This took awhile to work, but it has definitely helped calm my moods.

4. Me! I wanted this quit for me...not for my wife or my two kids, but I wanted this for me. This is the first SELFISH thing I have done in my life that has had a positive outcome on everyone in my life. This is too cool!

Rock on all you quitters!

here my friends is someone who is Talking the Talk and Walking the Walk (so to speak ) Keep kicking that ass everymorning brother ~

Well, I am at day 18 today... 6/15/2009 and I can't say this has been easy, but it has already been life changing.

Thank you for all the care and support, I greatly appreciate your help. If it wasn't for this site, I would have caved a dozen times by now, but this place has given me the means to be part of something much bigger than dip.


Thank You All

Hell yes Ironman. 18 days is huge.

I am 35 years old, have two kids (3 and 5) and a beautiful wife. I have been dipping for almost 20 years~ a can a day habit.

For years I have always found excuses to put off quitting or to start up again at the first hint of life's little pressures. I completed an Ironman Triathlon in under 12 hours, but I couldn't go more than 4 hours without my dip fix. Why? Because I was a little BITCH.

Two weeks ago I began searching the internet for quit dipping resources and last Thursday, May 28th, I sat on this site for 15 minutes, read a few topics on the home page and decided I wanted to live rather than slowly kill myself. I spit out my last dip, flushed all my stash down the toilet and began Friday, May 29th a nicotine-free man.

I will conquer this sick fucking addiction...one day at a time. I AM QUIT!

Congrats on the decision to quit! Use this site, it is an excellent resource for battling this addiction. Read up, post up, make friends, get some numbers, develop a solid plan and you will be successful. Again, welcome to the site, let me know if you need anything.
