This site is great for many reasons, you articulated a few of them. We are all very similar in our addiction though we come from very different places and backgrounds. I'm 51, a can/day cope user since 13.
At day 15 I'm over the fog, but now battle the sneaky voice in my head that says I'm now on top of it and can handle 1 dip. Goes to your point of the difference between stopping and quit.
I'm quit, and glad to quit with you.
Shout if you need to bend an ear or be talked off the ledge....

Will do!

Our situations seem to be quite similiar, which is why I think this site is such a great idea! I have 4 kids 2-boys and 2-girls and an awesome wife and strangly I am not quiting for them I am doing it for myself, not that I am a selfish person but I dont want to have any out! If I fail its cause I wasnt strong enough not because I stressed out over quitting for my family. They understand and have been quite supportive.

At day 18 I am still having some sleeping issues and for the first time today I really felt like picking a fight with somebody anybody, I was able to get some time away and lose myself reading some articles and other peoples stories on this site and simmered down quick enough.

If you need to vent or just talk, you got it!

Hey bro, congrats on 18 strong days!

I believe you will be in the May quit group, so please go over there and post:

Welcome Griz,

Sounds like you already invested some time into researching how this place works. And you're still here! sweet!

Review everything in the welcome center tab (above), then head to the may2012 group and post roll.

Give us your word that you will not dip today, then keep your word. Take dipping for the rest of today OFF THE TABLE.

I'll look for you in the may2012 forum!

I am on day number 18 on what will on my quit. I have stopped before and now know the difference between quiting and stopping! I live in Ohio and work in the Industrial Hinge business, I also am a Football, Wrestling, Baseball, and Softball Coach. I also have started another challenge in the public service arena not exactly sure how that one will end up but should be a fun journey. I have 4 kids and a wonderful wife who deserve to have thier dad around for awhile!

I stated earlier that I know the difference between quiting and stopping, I read a good topic on the site where someone talked about the difference and wouldnt you know it, that was me! I know this is going to be the Quit for me by pure determination and also never had a support area where everyone was similiar to me!
