newbie to site

[raiderx]

It has been awhile since I have been on this site and posted anything. My original intro is somewhere around here but I thought I would just write a new one.

I stopped posting roll some time ago and I just wanted everyone to know that I am now just into the 400's and in addition I have recently found out that I am going to be a father for the first time at 44. So I just wanted to thank this site and all who were there to help me begin my journey to quitsville. So I thank you all, my wife thanks you all and then addition currently under construction ( due date Dec 31) thanks you

Day 143

Back in the fog a little bit.
Cravings particularly strong over the last little bit. Especially strong when driving long distances.
No threat to cave, just updating the journal.

Other than that just cruising and keeping vigilante.

Therapy is an amazing thing. 

Anxiety is a real killer.  Just kind of sneaks up on a guy.  One day you are the rock of the family, the next you are crying in room downstairs for what you think is no reason. 

yep, need to have someone to talk to about what is going on in your life.  Some one impartial and who will not judge.

Working wonders Bro's - highly recommend it

Raider I agree 100% it's so easy to stand back and be the big strong in-control guy that can handle anything that comes along! Bull Shit!! Sometimes manning-up and dealing with shit like a true man means asking for help!! Sometimes there is also a place for medication to help! Thinking that asking for help is a sign of weakness is total bull shit!!

Thank You it's not easy to talk about this!

No Shit! Counseling is awesome! I have gone most of my adult life. The key for me has been a good counselor.. How do I tell? Well if i am getting better I guess? Or feeling better or whatever. Sometimes actually often times they ask me to do shit I really do not want to do.. Looking at issues, maybe writing about issues.. whatever.. If they are making me uncomfy at first.. more than likely they are doing their job.. Anything worth while is usually hard at first! Was quitting dip uncomfy at first? You kidding 44 days in  still uncomfortable as hell sometimes.. Hang in there man.. Go to counseling/therapy as much as you can! Gooch

Day 126. Yesterday was a close call..  So newbies listen up.  I got into it with the wife last night.  Specifics not important but let's say she can be one over the top bitch when she wants to be.  So instead of staying and risk saying something stupid I left and hit golf balls.  That did not work so I start to drive around and I wind up at the corner store.  I walk in and wander around aimlessly for a while.  Then I hear the whispers.  One is ok.  Come back.  You are stressed I can help.  What did I do....text..no not that.... What did I do....  I visualized.  125 days pissed away.... I gave my word that morning, I would have to come back and face the rath if ktc... Cancer pics....

Then I picked up a can of Pringles and walked out the door. 

That bitch is still out there.  Keep your head on a swivel


I quit today with all of ktc

Fuck the bitch

Out

Then I picked up a can of Pringles and walked out the door. 

I hope you paid for the the Pringles? A shop lifting charge would suck along with being pissed off at the wife! The other day I was pissed off at the girlfriend! I said the following with authority "don't you know I haven't dipped now for 38 days!". She said don't you know I haven't dipped in 36 years.. I guess she had a point? Still pissed me off though!

Raider good for you. I love it when we have victories.

I have so much respect for you and your quit. I checked my phone, nope I didn't miss a text from you. You go through that again, I trust you will call or text me.

You have had my back, why won't you let me have your back?

We are a band of brothers. All for one and one for all. It strengthens my quit to be a wingman. Bring me into a battle. Together, we got the nic bitches number every single time she comes calling.

You are right. I should have texted. This is a lesson to you newbies. Use your support network
Text or call if the need is great

[raiderx]

day 94

100 days right around the corner.

I was scrolling through my group last night and I saw a post for Klinger1986 in our HOF section for 100 days. I found that odd since I have not seen this person post roll at all since april 1. In fact on our spreadsheet we have stopped marking this person as having not posted roll. So I wonder what gives this person the right to post 100 days with our group when they abandoned us. I know this really does not matter in the grand scheme of the universe and I maybe redirecting some frustration but I do not feel this is right. The HOF section is for those who have posted roll consistently and been a part of the group and the site. You do not get to come in and say - I made 100 days - No. I am offended. I would like to know what others have to say...

June has another one. dougsoffroadcycle just got his HOF in June with 101 days quit ....9 posts.

Raider - Just read through a lot of your posts. You are a bad ass quitter. We haven't had a ton of interaction through this first 100 +/- days but I love your posts. No bullshitting, no acting, just the flat out truth. It is hard to quit, there are no magical methods just tough ass work and a big time fight. I am 117 and I think about chew every day - more now than some days earlier on - guess that is common post 100. But, I think about it every day - the fight is on - the fight will stay on - and I'm glad to have a bad ass quitter like you posting about your fight. It has strengthened my quit today - I am not alone - this is not easy - and every day I must battle with you all.

Thanks for posting - great to quit with you today!!!

I didn't notice this. I agree with you 100%

Sounds like a good and valid point.
