Quit on Monday

[per034]

Wow today was pretty rough. I wanted to rip everyone's head off just for shits and giggles. Made it through though.

Glad to see October HOF list filling up, sorry to see we lost two veterans though. Back on the fucking wagon boys, we are all waiting.

E71- Great choice, brother!

Here's what to do now...click on the "Welcome Center" Link at the top of the page and learn how to post roll. If you need help, all you have to do is ask. Your inbox will be filled up. Get a number of someone in your quit group (October '12) and tell them to post your promise for you.

There is no excuse for not posting roll. Try it if you don't believe me. We're addicts just like you...which means we are professional excuse-making liars. We're good, too. We've heard it all before. We've been through it. And we are still fighting today...just like you. Welcome to your new family.

After you post roll, fight like your life depends...because it does. Don't think about tomorrow, next week, or next year. We'll deal with them when they get here. Just focus on today. And anybody can go 1 day, right?

After you post roll each day, read all you can on this site. Personally, I recommend reading the "Tom and Jenny Kern Story" (bottom right side of the KillTheCan.org link). I owe them my life. Reading about his daughter holding his legs and pleading "don't go, daddy" is almost too much for me to read. I printed that off to read during bad craves. God bless the Kern family.

Anyway, there are no short-cuts and nobody can do this for you. You got yourself into this. And we're all here to help get you out. The good news is that YOU CAN DO THIS, BROTHER!!!

Guys,

Appreciate all the insight and feedback, just went through roll call again and planning on spending the day working between offices (one at home, one about 15 minutes away). I had to do roll call because the drive to the office was always a vice in the AM to get the day going. NOT FUCKING TODAY THOUGH!

I just hope my wife and kids understand I am not the completely insensitive asshole I appear to be right now. Think I'll lock myself in the basement and lift my kettlebells until I can't move my carcass.

Again, I truly appreciate the support and know I am here for you as well.

Eric I'm with you! Damn if I can do it I know you can.

My 38+ years of hell as a ninja dipper were a lot harder than this 88 days of quit. I'm embracing the suck of quit but also the suck of dipping, I never want to experience either again.

Oh yeah I remember Goochs first days too, one word discribes them--crazy--

Eric....i had a weird start.....i never used fake dip, seeds, tooth picks, anything........all i did was brush my teeth, floss, and drank more that usual......which 98% of guys on this site will say is bad...............but I have never caved.....and will not......oddly.....I have NEVER felt a crave while drinking......my opinion......I was an idiot before and dipped....why would I dip again while drinking?????

My big triggers are stress..........fear........boredom.....and what I think is the most dangerous......the spite dip.............

Eric - I am quit with you..................

You game????????????????????

My wife actually tuned me on to the site and forum just minutes ago.  I had chewed for the past 15 years and have gone through the same broken promises and lies to those I love much like others here.  I made an announcement Monday night to my wife and 4 kids that I was done chewing.  The kids collectively walked me to the trash can and we all together threw the last, unopened can of chew away.  Somehow this time is different.  Seeing my oldest daughter cry and my son jump up and give me a hug and kiss tells me this has to be it.  Everything I preach to them about being accountable and doing what you expect from others, the golden rule, keeping your word, all of that will have no meaning in their lives if I falter. 

How do I get into and find my group?  Sorry I am in a complete haze and cannot focus too well on what I need.

Thanks for reading and I'll be here in the morning for roll call.

Day 17... Gooch.. Man the fog will lift.. day 17 has been rough as shit for me.. crave after crave.. a lot of craving but no caving! I swear I really thought I was the worst nic addict on the planet... there everywhere here... join the club... I swear if i can go 17 days anybody can go 1... 1 day at a time bro...

I remember gooch's first three days. God call that today is a Wednesday. Cuz u win either way. I would love to relive my first 3 days. Welcome to THE S UC K. You may want to tell the wife and kids to go to the beach or something.

In my humble opinion, the first 3 days you need to go alone like Christ in the desert for 40 days............you need to face the devil and move on.........

My first 3 days were by luck........or was it........never mind......I happened to be in town for a week........working from my home office.........didnt let my wife or boys in my office for those 3 days.....yes, had dinner with the fam......but that was it

Here is the deal........the first 3 days are your quickening.........this is it..........enjoy it.........face the pain.........embrace the suck......got it Bitch?????

You've just made the best decision of your life. Now grab your man parts and hang on because the next couple days might be rough. Stock up on seeds, gum, mints, cinnamon toothpicks. . .anything that you can put into your mouth on a second's notice. It will help with the oral fixation part.

You're also going to want to drink water. LOTS of water. It helps flush the nicotine out of your body quicker. If you can find some unsweetened cranberry juice (the all natural stuff, not the sweet sugary drinkable stuff,) it helps fight off craves as well.

I dipped for about as long as you, 17 years plus or minus. Believe me, I told all the lies you did. But you can't lie to us. We know and have told every lie you got. But I can offer you this little nugget of truth. . .you CAN do this. It may require balls of steel, but I see you already posted up so I know you got 'em. Hell, if I can do it, anybody can.

Make sure you post your roll early in the day, first thing if you can. Take it off the table, then all you have to do is keep your word. Quit for today. . .we'll worry about tomorrow once it gets here.

Welcome aboard.

I quit with Eric today.
