Ok boys Day 5 over. I am late to start posting. I am Beedog13 and I have been dipping Red Man off and on for over 25 years. I stopped for most of 2011 then got sucked in on a road trip home to Ohio from Florida--trying to stay "alert" at the wheel. I have been a slave to this shit for far too long. I have lied to my wife about quitting several times---you always get caught. I had some mysterious mouth sores in 2015--after I was cleared by an EENT doc I went right back to dipping. I am not your average looseleaf user--medical professional, six figure income etc. Breaking nicotine addiction is hard--I empathize with my patients who cannot stop dipping or smoking. It's a bitch. But now I am tired of being a bitch to tobacco. I have made all the excuses. "It is one of the few things I enjoy" "It keeps me sane" "It calms me down" BULLSHIT! We are addicts, boys. Face it. It could be worse yeah, but we are no better than crack/meth addicts at the baseline. I put my stash in the trash under a bag of dogshit...seriously I almost considered digging it out at my weakest moments this week. The very idea of that puts it all in perspective--ADDICT!. The first three days of this quit were sooooo hard. Before, I used Hooch and some other fake stuff...cold turkey this time. No surrogates. I have been using hard candy and mints to deal with triggers and cravings. I am in control. I have the right mindset. I cannot be stopped...
Hey Beedog! check out the welcome tab. It'll talk about why we post roll. The idea is that if you promise yourself and a bunch of other strangers to quit for the day, you can't lose. It is an infalable system. Then, you just have to find your group and post role every morning. Folks who think they can do it alone and don't buy into that philosophy fail at a far greater rate.
The dude whose intro you posted in hasn't bought into the system yet. He's got a boat load of balls for naming his intro that and then not showing up. You see, Beedog, you gotta show up.
You're all foggy right now. That's a normal reaction when you quit injesting poison. It gets better with time. Every day is a little better. Get in there. Post roll and start your own intro page. This ones gonna get buried soon.
Brotherhood, accountability, success
It's not by yourself without being accountable and failing like we all did before. Future hof my 'arse'
