Its been a rough couple weeks. I let down a lot of people in my old group and all the people in my life. I feel like shit. I deserve everything I got today but in a weird way it feels good to be knocked down. I want to show everyone but more importantly myself that I can beat this once and for all. I know I will beat it. I know I will stay quit. I will not fail this time. Day 1 is coming to a close and of course tonight I have my office holiday party. Not drinking or dipping period, going to enjoy the company, laugh a little bit and eat a lot of food. Glad to be back home where I belong.

Welcome.

It’s best to not drink in the early part of your quit. How long is the “early part” of your quit? Only you can answer that. For some it might be two months for others two years. But for a while, your quit needs to be the most important part of your life.

Take this as a warning, not a friendly reminder.

I have been dipping since college (13yrs). I still remember sitting in my dorm and my roommate saying don't blame me if you get addicted. Then I just remember passing out for the nicotine hit and waking up the next day buying my first tin. I now am happily married and have two kids (boys), I don't want them to follow in my footsteps. I have tired since my oldest was born over 6yrs ago to quit but have had little luck, the most I have gone is 3 months. My big temptation comes when I drink, they go hand and hand. I found the website over a year ago but never committed to roll call and reading - well today I am done with it all and not going back.

Welcome!

Most people will tell you that it's a great idea to stop (or significantly slow down) drinking in the early part of your quit simply because most caves are alcohol related.

Beyond that, this is pretty straightforward:

1) Wake up
2) Piss
3) Post your promise
4) KEEP YOUR WORD
5) Repeat daily

There's obviously a bit more to it than that, but in its most basic form that's what we do here. Along the way you'll build brotherhood by exchanging contact information with your fellow quitters and work to keep each other accountable. It's a system that's worked for literally thousands of people, and it will for you too if you'll let it.

Great thank you for the guidance.
