Roll Call 2007

[mylilsecret]

Wow~ 278 days .. it's so amazing. I don't think about my old dipping days that much but every now and then thoughts do creep into my mind. I suppose it'll always be like that. My son's demeanor has worsen. My sanity seems to slowly slip away but I know in time I'll be able to get through this. I have to for my son's sake. My husband is just not coping well. I feel mostly like single parent. I go to work. I do everything for the boys - homework - playtime - drs appts .. etc. I also started treatment for the bipolar disorder. This too, has ripped pieces of my marriage away. I am not well. And he still believes that I can fix myself. I can only do so much before I break.

You see not having my dipping habit has thrown me in all kinds of directions. The time I spent dipping was my solitude - my peace. And at this very moment I find no solitude or peace in anything. I am lost. Severely depressed and hopelessly lost. I started anti-depressants and a mood stablizer. I won't start seeing any results for 4 to 5 weeks, if then. It might take time to find the right medication and treatment. Please don't judge me by stating this is a frame of mind and every one goes through ups and downs.  - - Yes, that I understand but my ups and downs are extreme and frequent. On occassion I could have them both at the same time. My Dr. doesn't know how I've coped for this long. He is amazed at my will to survive. Now it's just finding the right path for both me and my son. All I know is
that I've been through some really rough - I mean terribly rough days ... and
dipping wasn't an issue. So if I can endure this at 278 days quit .. then you too
can prove that dipping shouldn't be an issue in your life as well.

I hope you get to feeling better soon. Your right in the fact that if you can endure what you have gone thru quit, dipping would not improve the situation any. Thanks for sharing. JJ


Ps) I hope everyone is doing well. I wish you all much love, peace and happiness!

Thanks JJ!
When I wrote that I was saying to myself, "You know how much harder can it get?"

My mom called me at work Wednesday and proceeded to tell me that for 5 weeks she has been having tests done and that Thursday she needed to go in for a biopsy and needed me to be with her. I was shocked. Everything went well. Actually instead of doing a needle biopsy of her breast the Dr. did what's called a core biopsy and removed the whole mass for testing. We should know that results this coming up Thursday. Please keep my mom in your prayers!

the weekend is upon us folks!!!

stay on course this weekend friends - this place tends to die down but that DOES NOT MEAN we aren't thinking about you... be strong, use the tools that you have at your disposal. make a plan - use those phone numbers (if you don't have one, pm me and it's yours) it's NEARLY impossible to cave when you're the phone witha brother.

see you on the flip side with those dip free lips!

chewie's 3 step cave plan

there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 400+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.

step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.

step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.

step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.

P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1

Iuchewie. Thank you for the welcome. I am WideGlide, yes its a Harley thing, But I also go by Griff. I am on day 13 of my 3rd attempt to quit in over 28 years. The other 2 attempts were because others wanted me to stop chewing, I did not want to stop chewing. This time I want to save my life.

Nicotine will never enter my body again. I appreciate the support and advice anyone can offer... There seems to be alot of triggers I need to get around. Fishing, Riding, Camping, Hunting, Driving. You cant catch fish with out a chew in can you? How about simply sitting at your desk trying to work.... What was I doing again? Oh yea.. Quitting!!!!!

Peace,

Griff

head on over to january 2008 and introduce yourself to your group - these guys will be your lifeblood. your group is determined by when you'll hit the "hall of fame" or 100 days quit. if you quit today then 100 days from now will fall in january so that's your group.

once again welcome -- we're glad you're here!
