On day 3 now. This was by far the toughest day so far. Work sucked and it dragged on. So not being able to keep busy my mind was on the blue skoal can all day long.. The feeling got a little better when i got home. Maybe ill be a better employee now, I know ill try to keep busy.
Chipper, it will get better. Keep battling! Just 1 day at a time. The days will add up. Give me a shout if you need anything.

Chipper, a moment of weakness did not cause you to cave. Did you use all of the tools you had available to you before you caved? Before posting roll, please answer the following questions in both your July 2012 group and your July 2015 group:

What happened?
Why did it happen?
What are you going to do different this time?

Congratulations on the twins, you have a lot to look forward to. Let's get it right this time.
Need some answers Bro.
I'm curious of who here at KTC let you down.... and didn't call you....?
Or did you just turn away and spit in their face?
168 post..... On 150+ days.
I think the writing is on the wall.
Get involved Maverick... Time to engage.
Glad your back...
BTW... Twins will get raised.
With you... Or without you.
Choice is yours.
Quit with you... With reality.
Rawls
The first time around here all I did was post roll everyday. I never got involved, I didn't bother to get peoples numbers and reach out to them.
I will get more involved, I need to get it right this time and use all the tools available to me.
Is that your answers for the 3 questions? Need a little more effort than that.

Chipper you were a member of July 12 and didn't really ever catch the spirit of quitting. Answer the questions. As we're reaching 3 years I invite you to post with us daily as a reminder of where you could be.

I had over 150 days quit back in 2012 before going back to that shit. When I fell off the wagon I had one day of regret. That's it, I was right back to it harder than ever. One moment of weakness and three years later Im back here. This morning I put that shit in my mouth and thought about my unborn twins. I was think of raising them caring for them and then it hit me as I was spitting. How long will I be around for my kids? Will I have a fucking jaw left when my kids are grown? So I am QUIT!!! Tomorrow I post roll for the first time in 3 years and I am looking forward to it.
Well chip guess you know your way around. So come on in let's get this shit going right and make it stick this time! We as addicts will always be addicts and will never be able to let our guards down. Next moves your's we're waiting!

Good job Chipper. That's the one thing that makes it possible....just one day at a time. Don't worry about tomorrow, just make it until your head hits the pillow tonight.

3 days is a great start, brother. I think the first week is the toughest. But remember to embrace the suck. Actually take note of how bad you feel, the agitation, the sleeplessness, etc. Feel it and remember it. That is the feeling of your recovery. Can you believe it? Your body actually craving poison that WILL KILL YOU?!!!

It is crazy to think about. Then consider that nobody gets through where you are now without feeling the same way. Pretty cool to think about that...all the badass quitters fighting just as you are now. You're earning your freedom one day at a time. Well done, brother!
