I am just about to day 30, the quit is strong. Had a crazy dream though.

My wife and I were in our car headed to a funeral. The picture on the memorial page was a small boy whom I didn't recognize, I didn't say it was a funny dream because it was far from it. My wife was bawling and wouldn't stop. I looked at her and said he is ok. She kept asking what I meant by that and I told her it was just a dream. To answer her look of confusion, I pulled a Kodak can out of my coat (I didn't even dip Kodak, strange) and she smiled. I tossed the can and we stopped the car. I do not believe we went on to the little guy's funeral, but I do not recall the rest of the dream.

I have had the craving dream, I am sure we all have, and didn't feel the need to relay those. This one, however, was a little differently. I woke up happy from this dream and posted roll. Quit on douchebags!
Your body and mind are going through some bullshit right now Drew. Through my first 30 days or so, I had some straight up crazy shit ass dreams. My wife caught me sleepwalking more that once. I took a piss in my laundry basket. I tried to leave the house, but it was dead bolted. I dreamed about burning buildings, car wrecks...all kinds of weird shit. And like you, sometimes there were references to dip, but never my can of choice. It was always some off brand that I didn't dip.

All I can offer you is this - you are winning. Your body is throwing a temper tantrum right now, and it's trying to convince you that you need your fix. Fuck that.

You are 30 days on the right side of freedom. Freedom is awesome, but like the man says, it isn't free. You gotta work and fight for it.

I'm glad to see you're fighting for it.
I knew if I voiced that I would get folks sayin they had weird stuff dreamin on too. Thanks.
Yep drew day 27 here weird ass dreams here but I don't give a shit I'm beating this bitch! Stay strong my brother we got that shit! Proud to be quit with you!
Dude, my cave dreams never went away. Occasionally I'll just have a random dream where I'm either dipping or smoking and wake up with boatloads of remorse and guilt until I realize it never actually happen. It will always be buried down deep somewhere and sometimes make a cameo in my dreams.
"Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones."

Ok everybody, the story I posted last week just had to be posted. I know reviews are sketchy, but I'm not a writer. Thanks for reading it, for those who did.

About the quit, I'm wrecking it. Woke up to day 25 today. I feel great. The gas and headaches are all but gone, and I'm still suffering from heartburn or reflux, whatever it is. I enjoy my time away from the can. I spend some time in ktc chat, if there is nothing going on at home, and found some good people in there. Thank you all for support and thoughts and words. This is not an easy haul, but one that can be done.
Quit with ya Drewster. Keep up the solid work buddy. We'll be in the Hall in no time.

I'm a little worried for Randy's parents. Will his mom still be able to support his dad's drinking habit when she gets old and her looks go. You kind of left us hanging on that one.
I was hoping to get it picked up by networks and make this a TV series, not a movie. I left several avenues open on purpose. If I had to guess though, I'd say the mother died and the father is now a priest...only thing that makes sense to me.
That makes sense. You can't juggle all those careers without being sent to an early grave. I wish I would have asked the question in live chat. Then I may have gotten some sleep last night.
Now that was funny... Priest or preacher? You boys are nuts! Also had to comment so it goes back to the top of list.... EVERBODY should read that story.....acully put me to sleep .... Drew Drew you gonas bees famos...... QUIT ON!! Rawls quiting with you both today.
