Good job, keep going. Try not to focus on how many times you were sucessfull in the past. I did that so many times and failed. That is over. Now is all that matters. It will suck, you have been there and know what will happen. Most important is what are you going to do differently this time so it is permanant...........God bless

4th time quitter
« on: December 09, 2010, 12:36:00 PM »
I'm a 27 year dipper, first started in college. Light use in the beginning, continued off and on after college, quit altogether about 15 years ago. That lasted 2 years, one little hiccup on a golf trip and I was back on board.

Have quit twice more for 6+ months or so. Always seem to come back.

I believe now I am dipping more that at anytime in my life....for no apparent reason, as far as I can tell, and I know it's time to quit. I'm a 2-3 can a week Timberwolf dark blue, and I really don't enjoy it at all anymore. When I did it less often, I actually enjoyed it some. Now, I recognize it as the parasite that it is, and am determined not to let it continue to dominate the remainder of my life.

I'm on day 3 of my most recent, and permanant, quit.
