Jumped another major hurdle yesterday. Public speaking for most of us is very stressful and is especially for me. In the past, I would prepare with a dip, not sleep the night before with a dip in the whole time, drink coffee all morning/day with a dip until the speaking engagement/presentation and then finally present/speak with a small ninja dip in my lip. Am I Tony Robbins? No. But I am not too bad.

Yesterday I presented a fairly large deal standing in front of a sizable group without a dip for preparation or a dip during. Was I anxious? Hell yes..... almost unbearable, almost. However, once I started I was on my "A" game! Won over the room and left nothing to question. Did we get the deal....not sure yet. But I got past a major part of my business life without using nic to deal with my anxiety. Big day. Big fucking day!

Day 36 today. Quitting again.
Well done, man! Yet another thing you've proven to yourself is doable without a mouthful of poison. Keep kicking ass!
Congratulations on this win big fella. You earned this ODAAT and with more resolve than any of those soft-bellied professionals in that room with you yesterday. Keep it up CJoy, you're rocking it!

Day 29. Second day of camping. Had a few beers last night by the fire. Didn't even think of dip until I woke up this morning. Fought the crave. Still quit.

I know that she is always lurking but I am getting stronger by the day.
Good win CJ. Proud to QLF with you for another day!

Day 24 - Went to the doctor today. Fighting anxiety and all the shit that it does to your body. Checked out fine physically. He prescribed lexipro and xanex. My wife said there is no way in hell she will let me take Lexapro. "you are not trading one drug for another". I simply said yes mam.

Quit On!
I'm not a doc so I'll leave those erectile dysfunction decisions to your doc, you, and your wife. Doesn't take a doc to know that I am quit with you all day today though, so there's that!
Ha! perfect!
