This is not an introduction but a statment. The introduction site is the only place where I can post this. I tried in my Quit Group section but I am blocked for some reason. (help on this would be great, thanks)

Friday night full of triggers and confrontation. Still quit and still going strong.
Day 4 was worse than day 3 probably because I exposed my self to to much being so "young" in my quit. No matter, I fought through it and prevailed.

If you think there is no exposure or temptation when picking bluegrass music, in a fishing store in West Virginia then you must be crazy. Just walking down the road in WV has way to much exposure for a newbie. Anyway nothing but a thing due to the accountability of my bros. here on KTC. I wounldn't have lasted two seconds in there without the backing and accountability from here.

After running the dip guantlet and making it home I confronted my wife and told her how much of a shitbag I have been by lying to her over the years about my addiction. Showed her the site and all the support here and she was really cool. Now I have one more person in my ring of support.

Now I am on Day 5 and feel I can take on the world after what I went through last night. By the way a low grade head ache all night and very very little sleep. I know I will run into other hardships down the road, some maybe worse and some may be easier but as of now it is the small victories that make this all so worthwhile.

Without people like thesavage, rightofangle, bbulldog and now my wife I would be right back to day 0. Thanks.

Staying quit and see you in November.
AND COUNT SPURBOW AS ONE OF YOUR BROTHERS IN THIS AS WELL

Way to fight through it. Each time you encounter and defeat a trigger you will make your quit stronger. Be careful taking on too much so early in your quit but you certainly kicked the NIC bitch in the ass last night.

STAY QUIT

Welcome Mountaineer, you made 2 great decisions: 1) to quit killing yourself. and 2) joining up on this site for help. Find Flashmans HOF speech and read it. He does a good job of illustrating the difference between quitting and quitting with the help of addicts that have been where you are at.

You are on day 2. FUCKING AWESOME. You are in the middle of a fierce fight litterally for your life. Do not give in, fight for all that you cherish. You will get through the hardest part in a day or two. Spend much time on the site it will keep your mind off of chew, educate you on your addiction, and keep you close to your support. Go to Live chat. usually someone in there to talk you off the ledge. Here is some good news: Do this right and it will be the last time you feel the fucking misery of withdrawl.

Need a number? Pm me and I will send you mine. You CAN do this. Post every day and keep you word.

Day 2 is coming to an end and everything has been going pretty well. I have stuffed more corn silks (Smokey Mountain) in my face than I thought I ever would. It has done the trick pretty well. Everytime I get an urge or one of my daily triggers occurs in goes some Smokey Mountain. Posting Roll also was a big motivation for me this morning. Bring on Day 3 and morning Roll Call.

« on: August 10, 2010, 03:11:00 PM »
I have been at this bitch for 25 years now. I have tried to quit I don't know how many times only lasting a couple of weeks. The longest was during basic training in the Army and all of us addicts still found a way to get our hands on the Devil's Weed while avoiding drill sargents in the process.

I am so glad I have found this site because now I will be accountable to brothers who understand what I will be going through. Now I can get started and put this all behind me now.

Thank God for this place and those who will help.
