Hello fellow addicts and quitters. This is Day 1 of my quit. I am a biologist living in West Texas. I had been quit for 7 years. Over a year ago I put a dip in. Just one. Just for old times sake. Just because the outside environment and work called for a simple single dip, and that would be it. Now, daily for over a year. All. Over. Again.

Before the 7 yrs of my successful quit, I had been dipping for well over a decade. High School, peers, and baseball. That kid grew into a man, and was still dipping. Full-blown addict.

My first quit was terribly hard. Physically and mentally; as I had basically grown up, had developed into an adult with nicotine and dipping hardwired into my brain and body.

I now need to do it all over again. I now will do it all over again. A bit pissed at myself for having to start over. I am also understanding.

I will find out if this quit differs from my first quit.

Anyways, another and now defunct (I believe) website and forum helped me way back then. It is my hope that the same type forum and community will be just as helpful.

I choose not to be a slave.

Thank you for having me, brothers and sisters.

Let us all live free.

So, here. I. go....

Nice intro, Mayo. You probably should start your own though and track your quit there, as opposed to adding it on to G-Dubs.

I believe you just go to intros and hit the "new topic" button.

Quit on...
I seen it all now! Man! Maybe someone should check Gdub's IP to make sure......

Day 22. I need dope. Lots of it. I don't care who made it or where it comes from. I don't care if I have to smoke it, sniff it, drink it, pop it, or stick it under my arm pits, I don't care. Some body please show be some love and just come whack me in the freaking head with a hammer. I'm gonna get a bottle of water and some zip ties and head out to the pasture. And zip tie my self to a tree of something. How come we burned all the damn boats ?!?!
Remember this? Never again.

Congratulations on 300. You are really gonna like the next part of the journey. But it is always good to look back and remember the bullshit part of where you've been. Thanks for being a leader and keeping a lot of is accountable.
Awesome! Very nice work. 3rd floor is a very nice milestone!

Cheers. Have a great weekend.
Congrats on the 300, my friend!!
You congratulated yourself! and you deserve it!


now, the question begs an answer.. Did you intentionally congrats your own intro thread OR are you senile?

In any event: Nice on the 300!

Love Wolfe

Outstanding! Nice 300!!!
Haha. Oh man what a memory. Day 22 sucked soooo bad. Thank you for the reminder. I never want to go back there. 300 is a great place to spend the day. But just today. Tomorrow is +1. WaaHoo !!!!
