ok just to get it off my chest....

Just found out from our close friends, that the one young man who helped us out a year and a half ago when he picked us up 2 hours from home....see below as I was a week into my quit and car broke down...

Well this young man, Eagle Scout...has started dipping.....

dammit.... 'bang head' 'bang head' 'bang head'

Well I forwarded the Sean Marsee link and the link to the .org page to his mother on FB to pass along....

Armor is on and ready ladies and gents...
That's a total bummer Derek. But....I think its great you are in his life enough to try and steer him back onto the right path. Hopefully Seans story will wake him up. He's not stupid if he got his Eagle!

Day 585 -

Recollecting another Get Together....

Well trying to gather thoughts about a past weekend and one word is at the top of the list...Brotherhood.

Yes that fits as families from all around (Texas, New York, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida) gathered in the historic city of Savannah. Yes a 12 hour drive. And Yes it was so worth it.

Seeing again some who I have met at the PA meets, and meeting new quitters and their families just adds that additional support, that additional 'thing' to solidify my quit more and more. For those who have not met anyone else from the site, I encourage you to do so. Becoming a friend makes it that much harder to go back to being a slave. If you see any of the pictures, you can tell that the fun that is had is off the charts. And what I will call the 'get together at the beach' with its low country boil and oysters....well makes it dang tasty.

Now this of course is one of the tops of the quitter meetings (PA being another the 'get together in the woods'), but even to sit and talk for 3 hours over appetizers is still so worth it.

So the festivities, the food, the fun....it is all right there for you. And as I mentioned earlier in my thread....You came into the neighborhood. Be that friend and more to where you not only watch over or request help from others, but go ahead and meet those 'behind the keyboard'. You will not be disappointed.

Day 576

ok here is a different kind of dip dream.

So vivid as standing in line at the checkout, not sure which store but looking around behind the counter. Seeing the cigarettes and all. Looking through noticing the dip....

seeing the cope and saying..."well the price has gone up"

and looking further seeing smokey mountain, jakes and others, saying "good to see they have the alternatives"

coming back to the crap,, seeing one at an extra low price, saying "wow now that I could go for....."

Ending up paying for the stuff I was getting (groceries), and getting to the car. Looking at myself in the rearview mirror " WTF was that. Why the hell was I comparison shopping for something I never had the intention of buying.".

man just another screwed up dream. but only a dream
It never fails the nic bitch hits us at our most vulnerable .... when we are sleeping!!!

I have had more dip dreams the last month than I have for the last 2 years!!!

For me the best way to deal with them has been keeping everything in perspective and really knowing I AM QUIT!!!!

I believe I will most likely have to continue to deal with these stinking dip dreams for many years to come, I dipped for 30 years and 2 years of quit wont take away the memories from when I had been killing myself.

I can only rely on the support from the group and the resolve and determination forged in the funk that we all have suffered thru!
