One day at a time

One year! Congrats to a bad ass quitter who has helped me tremendously in my quit. Proud to be quit with you EDD.

As I move closer to one year, I sensed my attitude has changed remarkably...

To me, caving is not even a thought but if I were to ever fuck up and partake in any tobacco product, I would expect nothing less than to be absolutely brutalized by my quit brethren. Yes, I would want to be cussed out, mistreated, insulted, belittled, emotionally crushed, and repeatedly kicked in the electronic ass. Why, because quitting dip and maintaining my quit IS that important to me. I wouldnÂ’t want to be welcomed back in with open arms and have someone rubbing my ball sack while telling me everything is going to be OK because, to me, that is not an effective deterrent for nicotine based recidivism. IÂ’m not saying that kind of thing is going on here but it very well could since society has gotten so scared of offending someone that it will eventually bleed through and affect us here. Folks have to realize that we are not talking about ethnicity, slavery, sexual orientation, abortion, or plain old bipartisan politics but rather we are talking about tobaccoÂ…something that is medically proven to disfigure or kill adult human beings.

This dude has gotten it from day one. Quit with you today dude. Thanks for your support.

Agreed! Bazooka between alcohol or nicotine, you've got real quit running through your veins. Keep doing all you do.

Day late here Bazooka. But congrats! 365 . . I don't know why but that number means more to me than 100, 200, or whatever.

Awesome job Joe (I almost abbreviated your name then thought better of it!!). Congratulations!

Thanks for the congrats but I still have 7 days to go before my first trip around the sun is complete for nicotine.

Today is my eight hundredth day without alcohol and I couldn't be happier to be free of such a socially accepted method of assisted suicide. I have to say however that I've been having more and more alcohol related dreams lately which are very similar to nicotine dreams. I'm usually rationalizing why I can have just one beer then regretting my decision. The feelings of failure are so strong that I'm roused from my deep sleep only to realize it was just a dream. I used to think these dreams were bad and that the addictive substance was trying to get a foothold in my mind, but now I see them as a good thing because it proves my brain is rewiring and that I even know I'm quit subconsciously. That being said however, I am still not cured because my brain will never be fully rewired to the point that alcohol and tobacco will have no power over me. Moving forward I will use every minute of my life to quit these two paths that lead to a painful death and I will lend a hand to whomever else wants to do the same.

Wow Joe, that's a great accomplishment. You have the determination to overcome more than one addiction and that shows how strong of a character you possess. I'm extremely happy for you today.

Also, I hope everything at the new job and location is going well. Haven't heard from you in awhile. Don't forget, you have my number if you ever need someone to talk to or just want to chat.

Take care brother!

I gotta pile on here, what ^^^ he said. This is a great accomplishment!!! Being an addict, I happily swapped one for the other. I drank more than I had when I dipped which is not often a good scenario. I may never quit drinking but over time I've been able to control the flow of alcohol by being physically active/working out everyday. That usually kills the mood for drinking anyways. Congratulations on 800 days without alcohol. You are making great choices. I also think you made a good choice in moving to North Dakota...well, maybe now. You may need to revisit that decision come October!

Quit on!

An addiction bitch is an addiction bitch no matter what the issue! Great quitter here! You are a rock star, congrats on taking the wheel back in all areas of your life!
