Most importantly
« on: May 30, 2012, 02:40:00 PM »
I am quit. I chewed for about 11 years. The longest quit I had was in boot camp = 2 months but didnt have a choice. other than that = 13 days. Number of attempts = who knows? triple digits I'm sure.

I live in Iowa, work for the Waterloo Fire Dept. 29 years old. I hate that I tell those who I work with that I'm quitting only to have them catch me with chew a week later. Married for 5 years. I hate that i tell my wife I quit only to get caught a week later. I have a huge family. Same story.

I have goals. Lofty ones. I work for them every day. I want to climb El Capitan. I want to complete an Iron Man. I want the wrestling team I coach to have more State Titles than any team in Iowa. These are great goals that keep me moving, but they are not the most important. MOST IMPORTANLY is my goal to quit the nic.

Along with this goal is quitting caffeine and anything else that ends in -ine. This includes methemphetamine. But since I've never seen it and have no idea where to buy it I dont think this will be a problem.

Day 1 - I am quit.
It's one of the strangest of ironies in life that those who subject themselves to the strictest disciplines; who give up certain pleasurable things in order to achieve the goal, are among the happiest people - unknown
