Here's a question WRT to Wellbutrin or other drugs. I know that I am predisposed to anxiety, how to you get the prescription? I have a physical scheduled Nov. 1, which was when I went last year and since the insurance company covers 1 physical per year it won't be sooner. It's also a bit of a PITA to get to the doctor - I have to leave work early and it's not close. Will a doctor write a prescription without an office visit? What is the best one to request? Are there any side-effects?
go ask this question in your group and Sept, Oct, Nov. I think you'll get it answered!

Stay strong bud...I too am new to this site and the idea of actually being accountable.

My father was a AA'er and he learned that you have to take it "one day at a time." Living in the reality of ODAT; we do realize that we are indeed addicts.

I am now 11 days in and realize that I have lost a friend. That "friendship" was totally one-sided; chew only "took" from me, and never "gave" back anything! Nothing but shrinking gums and chew in my teeth...

One day at a time

For some reason for me a major trigger is having to drop a deuce. When I have tried to stop in the past, more often than not the urge to go was what foiled me. Usually the urge will be so strong I'll be trying to stuff the cr@p in my mouth before I poop my pants. (To what end, right?). Anyway this morning it happened. I think I could have made it anyway, but I got some of the herbal stuff in the mail last night so I popped some of that and I gotta say, it relieved the urge ... to dip, not to poop.

I was just pm'ing with one of you guys and I was discussing isolation. I said this to him:

I recently completed the MBA program at NYU. Networking and creating bonds and friendships with the other students is one of the main goals, yet when people would go out for drinks I would cry off claiming that I had work to do. The upside was that I got good grades because I was always doing work, but it was so that I could feed my addiction. I would sit alone hoping that no one talked to me as I cut off the world.

Well one thing being the lonely dipper gives to time to do is think.

Other stuff I forgot to mention:
I'm:
1) 36 years old
2) married to the most wonderful woman in the world. (sorry guys, I've got her)
3) a UNC grad and diehard college hoops fan
4) living in Brooklyn but wantin to move to Austin. Been in NYC for 14 years.
5) from Philadelphia originally
Well my friend, get ready for the fight of your life, as you will have highs and lows. You will have whispers in your ears from the nic bitch asking you to come back which in turn you need to tell her to piss off.

Be strong and from on 'close to Philly' man to another, I quit with you today....PM me if you need anything.
Strong, SirDerek and I have your back. There's a whole lotta southerners that can relate on here. Northerners have different challenges. One of the best things for me was essentially coming out about my use and my addiction. Not just to my wife, because she has always been supportive of my efforts, but to everyone. You'll have your own experience, but for me, finally letting go, finally acknowledging the addiction versus the habit, was liberating. You'll find more often than not, people will not only be understanding, but supportive to varying levels. That feels good.

Stay quit with me. You can do it. Use this site to its fullest. Chatting on live chat my first week saved me.
