Day 90:
I'm more in control now. The instant rage is gone. I'm back to laughing off the little shit and enjoying my time with those who love me. Concentration at work is getting better.
One of the biggest reliefs is being totally honest to my wife. After I threw away 6 years of being dip free, I ninja dipped. She knew what was going on and I just didn't do it around her. It would have been so much easier if she would have yelled, but she was truly disappointed. That just crushed me whenever the topic came up. No yelling, just " I wished you would quit."
10 years of sneaking around wears on you. Keeping your cans hidden. Gutting it so you don't leave a spit bottle around. Making up an excuse why you insist on washing the bathroom curtains (because you were dip shitting and sneezed!). God, I'm tired just thinking about the crap I had to keep track of.
Thanks everyone for your help. It's not easy, but it's so much better than being tied to the can.
