Hi guys, tomorrow will be my 9th day quit here with the August Badasses, and I am finally posting an intro so you know a little bit about me. My apologies for waiting so long to do this. It is my pleasure to endure with you all, as much of an emotional ride this has been for me quitting has been one of the best decisions of my life (maybe right behind marrying my wife). It is only day 9 of my journey but I feel great inside. It seems like we all share many common parts of our past, and here is a bit of mine:
-I started dipping about 12 years ago in college, it was part of the culture of my chosen profession and I got hooked.
-Only a few people even knew I dipped until I quit day 1, I was a pro ninja dipper.
-My dipping was sporadic, sometime on a stressful day I would do a whole can, other days I would just have one pinch. Since being quit though I realized I have a serious oral fixation addition to this crap, that is what is the toughest for me to get through, but it is getting easier day by day.
-I am convinced that God's grace in answering my desperate prayer to "give me the strength to quit" led me to this site, and to you guys and few girls who are right in the ring with me.
-Knowing that there are others like you fighting a battle that will not allow themselves to lose, praying a lot, and imagining each day I am quit the wonderful future I will have in store with my family.....as a healthy and happy quitter.
-I am here to support the rest of this gang, and my heartfelt thanks for yours. God Bless guys and lets keep kicking ass.
-Jack
