Wanted to share with you the benefit of no more dip. Going to hardware store, grocery store, home depot etc., etc. on the weekends used to be a great reason to dip. In fact, as I am sure many of you have done, I would make up shit that I needed to get at these places, typically go sit in the parking lot play on my phone, listen to the radio and dip my freaken face off.
Also I forgot to mention that my kids would always ask to come with me - but of course that would ruin the whole trip, so I would quickly depart and leave them at home.
Well yesterday - the first Saturday of my quit - I spent the entire morning with my kids, running errands, playing out side, took them to lunch and man did we have a ball. Quitting nicotine sucks - but what really sucks are the 10 years I missed spending time with my kids on weekends- because I was a selfish fool.
Fucking tobacco - you do not realize it but if it lets you live it takes your life away, or it just decides to up and kill you - either way you are dead!
It is a rainy, nasty Sunday outside - I can't wait to have the best Sunday with my kids in 10 years!
This is exactly what this shit will do to you. You start out young, with "just a pinch between your cheek and gum." Before you know it, the nic bitch has taken control of your life - you lie to your wife, lie to your kids, lie to yourself - all so you can spend that "quality" time alone with the bitch. Yeah, we're not addicts.
It's damn pathetic that we end up alone, stuffed into a car or the shitter or whatever, sucking on cancer candy after running away from our wife and kids. I've done it and I'm betting most people on this board have done it. I don't know how I used to get up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror.
And that is exactly why we are here. We're here to regain the trust of our family, to get our honor back, and to get back to being the husbands and fathers that we should be.
