Day 162. Feeling pretty flat and emotionless. No joy in anything. It’s my angry brain punishing me because it wants nicotine. Life is boring without it but that’s okay because nicotine is behind me. I promise not to dip today.

Quitting with you today
Day 161. Some depression and anxiety but less than yesterday.
161 days ago I said fuck this filthy habit. I’m 58 years old and adding up all my dipping years I realize that I have been dipping nearly half my life. And for what? Missing out on family time so I can ninja dip? Telling my hot sexy wife that I’m to tired for sex so I can sneak off to dip instead? Passing up fishing trips with relatives because I ninja dip and wouldn’t be able to dip because we are in the same fishing boat? That’s some really fucked up behavior. That’s just a few of many many reasons I QUIT dipping. Fuck that shit. I quit one day at a time with all of you. I promise myself that I will not dip today.
Im going outside to enjoy the cold sunny day today.

Worktowin 3,982. Good morning from Minneapolis today. It’s cold up here.
@worktowin how long you in town?!

MN/2,764 with Steve and everyone TODAY
Day 160. Depression
It’s colder up here.
I promise not to dip today.
No.
AJ did not go pick up a can.

That won't happen. Ever.
Once free from the clutches of that garbage, I could finally see just how thoroughly it was ruining my life. It was a realization that shocked me to my core. It was a fundamental shift. I know we preach "One day at a time" here but THAT realization and THIS place, cured me of my need of it AND destroyed any false romantic notion of how it made me or my life better. Am I still an addict? Yep. Always will be. Once opened, that door never closes but... I walked away from that door and will forever keep walking away from it. That's a choice I will make until I die.

I used to be a little scared of the addiction. I think that's probably normal for most. We KNOW what kind of hold that garbage had on us. It's logical to hold a healthy fear of it at that point. Fear like that does its job and keeps us running from it.
BUT... ultimately that means it still has some hold on you.
Freedom, real freedom, is when you know that YOU have ALL the power. All of it. That fear? Gone. Useless. Pointless. We win. Period.
You leave that addiction beat to hell and bleeding in a pulp behind its door that it can't crawl out of anymore and... you just keep walking.

You, my man, are fighting like an absolute beast. It's heartbreaking. It's inspiring.
This is just words on a page of some rando forum from some rando dude but... you've already won, man. You have. Whatever you're holding onto or whatever still has a hold on you? I can't say, but THE REALITY is that... YOU win. You.

AJ... 3,868
This literally sent chills down my spine. Shane, you are the man.
Took a little ride up to da hunting shack to kill time. Depression is moderate but now anxiety is creeping up. Usually does this time of the day and drops from now til bedtime. What an emotional roller coaster. You all have a good evening.
This too shall pass.
