Day 1002

I’m really happy.  My life is really awesome.  I couldn’t ask for a better wife and kids.  There are many times throughout my day that I get this giddy feeling.  I walked around with a smile on my face.  This wasn’t always the case but something changed in my life that made it all possible.  I quit.

My wife and kids used to me called the grinch.  I used to ninja dip and I wanted to be by myself.  I would rather be by myself instead of being with my family.  I use to lose my temper when I couldn’t get my fix.  I was defensive with how I was acting.  I would have anxiety about wanting to quit before I got cancer.  I would worry about telling my wife and kids. 

It is really crazy how much time and energy I put into my addiction.  How negatively it affected me and my loved ones.  I’m ashamed at all the times I put up of fight to stay home to do nothing but dip instead of going out and doing something fun.  Maybe that is why I’m so happy…I’m actually living my life.  I’m exploring this world with my family without worrying about my next fix.  It is so much better to live in the moment.
 
All of this wouldn’t have been possible without KTC and the hundreds of people that took the time to help me along the way.  Without you showing me how to quit I wouldn’t be quit today.  Thank you.  I’m so happy to call you all my friends.

I thank you for this post WW.  You were able to consolidate my "70 quit days of thoughts" into just a few sentences.  Our stupid addiction(s) should infuriate us for ALL that it took from our lives AND our loved one's lives.  Tis a new day, a day to be free and live free.  Your words strengthened me and I happily quit with you today!
Long Live Walter White!

One thousand.  It has a surreal quality to it all its own in the realm of numbers.  What's in 1000? In dollars it's a tidy sum and would make for a marvelous day somewhere or a nice gift to oneself or others.  In M&M's it's not a small bowl and would best be savored over days and not a single sitting.  In feet it would wind you for certain in a sprint or kill you for certain in a fall.
In days though...in days it's more than two years.  It's 33 1/3 months. It's just shy of 143 weeks.
It's support given and received. It's witnessing countless failures but also incredible victories.
It's freedom from the chains of addiction, earned ODAAT.
Thanks for paying it forward WW.

Quote from: walterwhiteToday I celebrate 900 days of freedom. How cool is that? Never would I have imagined being able to finally break free from my addiction. Being quit is one of the best things that I have every experienced in my life. For the longest time I wanted to be quit but I kept failing over and over. Probably just like many of youÃ,…My addiction started in high school. I thought I was cool and I could stop at any time. As the years (20+) went on and I got married and having kids I would try to quit. It would last a little while but then I would always break down and buy a tin. It finally hit me after my last failure that I was an addict and that I needed help. Thankfully I found KTC and they showed me the way to freedom.

This place will save your lifeÃ,…if you allow it. You have to buy into it 100%. You canÃ,’t half ass it. There are no excuses. You are either quit or you are not. There is no gray area. People that fail always blames others for their mistakes. People that take ownership in their life are successful. IÃ,’m not going to lieÃ,…this will be one of the hardest things you will do in your life. But if you quit one day at a timeÃ,…anything is possible.

P.S....A big thank you to all the people that have helped me along the way! I wouldn't be quit without you...I'm forever grateful.
Late grants pard and great message for the newbies.
It can be done.. Cause it is being done.

Congrats on 800 WW! A cave dream jumbled with roll posting dilemma is not uncommon. I have had several and they are very unsettling.
Don't be afraid.  You are not alone.

I had one weird cave dream last night.

I was out the night before drinking with friends. I woke up and posted roll as usual. Later that day someone told me that I took a couple of puffs from a cigarette the night before. I didnÃ,’t remember it at all. I was shocked that I did that. I wondered if I needed to count it as a cave since I didnÃ,’t remember it. I went back and forth on what I would do since I lied on roll. If I tell others then I would be banned from KTC. Even if I wasnÃ,’t banned no way I could start over on day 1 again. Should I just pretend it didnÃ,’t happen?

I have been having lots of dreams lately about caving and still posting roll like nothing happened. I usually enjoy vivid dreams but these caving ones I have been lately are really starting to mess with my psyche.

man those are the type that can get to you,

but from one standpoint, to me this is more than just the using. You have that under control. This is speaking more towards the other parts of you, the honesty, integrity.....and the memories of the past are trying to edge their way back in via this path....

keep strong and talking, and you will get these dreams under control too.

Congrats on 800 days Mr. White!

I'm over 900 days and I still have cave dreams. I don't think I've ever dreamed about posting roll. Kind of easy to figure out what my brain really wants. :P

ODAAT and Go Eagles!

Nice 800 WW!
Congrats on 800 days of solid quit!!

My last couple cave dreams have been just like yours. It bothers me, too.

Also, born and raised in Eagle country, so I get it. Love the Santa analogy!
Well done on 8th floor WW!
Embrace the dreams...
Like we used to embrace the Suck!
It will suck until it doesn't.
I think addiction will always suck!
I hope the truth of addiction doesn't vanish.
I hope it doesn't just go away.
I'm afraid if it does.....
I may wake up with a day 1.
Truth sets us free ODAAT.
I quit with you today.

Just one and you will be back to where you started, and where you started was desperately wishing you were where you are now.
