Quote from: Sapper
I've had cave dreams the last two nights.  Last nights was really weird, in it, I had a cave dream and when I woke up from my dream within a dream, I caved... and that one really worried me because I had just woken up, but it wasn't until I woke up from the main dream and realized that it was just a very complex cave dream that I felt relief.

Oh I was going through all the addict speak.  I was telling myself it wasn't that big a deal, I could still post roll, nobody would ever know... but I felt like such a failure, I actually was crying in my dream, didn't want to face the reality of what I had done.

Thank god cave dreams aren't real.  I'm happy to be posting 45 today.
I think you'll be ok unless your pillow is brown when you wake up... I didn't have my first until around 130 or so... Sorry 'drool'

Mine lately have been that I've forgotton to post roll.....

Cave dreams suck  for me at least, these are the most vivid dreams that I have  really the only ones that I can remember when I wake up....
Sapper,
Krusty and I both have your address now, if one of those dreams becomes a reality there's gonna be a WWE Smackdown in your hometown! 'stick'
That goes both ways there buddy. I also have a house about 45 minutes from you that I can kick the tenant out of and set up my op center to command the ass kicking operations from...
Nothing like a Mexican standoff over some cave dreams... No need to get stoned to the bejeesus and watch some Stanley Kubrick movies backwards when one can just read the recap of Sap's cave dreams. (No offense to those who enjoy that sort of thing, of course.)

Quote from: Sapper
I finally had the conversation with my wife about my addiction and my quit and this website.  I apologized and showed her the long list of support texts that I've gotten from KTC.  I was expecting her to be disgusted and hurt.  She wasn't.  She was proud of me.  She told me that she knew I was addicted to tobacco for years but knew I'd quit in my own time, that she couldn't force me to.  I guess she knew that story from watching her dad die from lung cancer.  She was really happy to know that I am taking it seriously and involved in an online accountability group.

How did this conversation final come up?  I got a text at 11:30 at night from a fellow quitter and she asked who was texting me at that time.  I didn't know what to say so I just told her the truth.
That's awesome Sapper. Coming clean and now having her support is going to make you an even more formidable quitter. Congrats.
The wife kick's ass. Cool post.
Excellent. Now no more lying. You are truly free. Everything will be better.
Man, that must feel like a thousand pounds has been lifted off your chest. Feels amazing, doesn't it? I told my wife on Christmas that I was 2 weeks quit and showed her the website as I posted roll that morning. She said it was the best present I could have given her. Now that you've come clean to her, brag about your quit to her. Tell her your number. Celebrate it. Don't matter if the number is 10, 50, or 100; each day is as important is the day before. Amp her up and get her on your ass about this quit so that your accountability to her is as paramount as it is to you and all of us. Awesome job Sapper, lets get today's +1.
Yep my wife is my biggest fan and I "hid" it from her for years. At least I thought I was. Thanks for sharing that and like steakbomb said, a huge weight is now lifted off. Your quit just gets better and better.
Awesome story, I didn't have to bring it up. I hid it as well and my fiancee said, "Your breath is different... What is different?" I chewed gum before coming home after my car ride dip home, I brushed after every dip I took and she still could smell it. Told her I had been dipping and just wasn't doing it around her, She launched in that she knew the whole time but knew I would have to quit it for myself.

Congrats on another quit milestone.
Yep, we were a bunch of idiots thinking we were all sly and getting away with it. Dip stinks! I never knew how bad till I finally stopped. Now I can smell it from a mile away!
Nice job Sapper! I bet that is a relief to know she is onboard. Often the people we love surprise us. Sounds like she will be a great support for you. Now you owe it to her to stay quit today. Layers of accountability!

ODAAT brother! Quit with you today.


I had to confess so many times over the years to my wife - does it count as a confession when you both know it's as obvious as a sign on your forehead? I'm excited that we are both building trust back with our wives - I'll never lie to her again(hopefully). Definitely not about dip.
I remember this weighing on you early on in your quit. Glad you got out from under it. You've added another layer of accountability to your quit! Glad for you.
