Day 250
Since the last time I've posted an update here, I have had quite a few tests in my quit. A few weeks ago, I went back home to visit family and friends. Some of those friends are still dippers. They are the ones who I hang around the most, since we enjoy playing golf. Since I started playing golf a few years ago, golf and dip always went hand-in-hand. I was quite nervous for this trip, and I talked with my wife before we went. She understood my concern and like always, re-assured me that I've come this far, don't mess it up now. I went to the golf course my 2nd day home and sure enough, my buddies all threw in dips on the 1st tee box. I explained that I had quit and they were very supportive of my decision and we ended up having a good time.
This week, my wife and I are house sitting for a family friend in this huge house. It has been like a mini vacation for us all (It's not very often you get to stay in a 2 million dollar home with land and a nice ass pool). Well, the owner dips and I have found a few of his Copenhagen cans laying around. You can just smell the Copenhagen aroma coming from the can. The thought of dipping did cross my mind, but quickly faded. I am 250 days into my quit; why fuck it up now?
Anyways, I am still here and still quit. Some days are still tough, but I'm happy to still be quit.
If you are struggling to quit please reach out to me and I will help anyway I can. You can do it and it does get easier.
