You mention "commitment" and "community" repeatedly, yet... you haven't posted roll with your quit brothers and sisters. Get your mind right and let's get this going.

Yesterday you should have posted a day 1. Today you should have posted a day 2.

The site is about accountability and brotherhood. That all starts with posting roll. Go to Per Hof October 15 Quit Group. Find roll and put your name and days quit on there. Need help. PM me.

Hey thanks for the tips. You bring up a good point that I probably should have mentioned in my original post. I finally came clean to my wife about everything and admitted that I had never been clean longer than a couple days. She was irritated for obvious reasons but she is supportive. I also met with my doctor and talked to him about it. These are couple of the steps I felt were important and helped me come to terms with my addiction and my true commitment to finally quitting. Now I just have to summon the courage to go see the dentist..

They are all important steps in getting through this. The shit this crap does to us is amazing.

Stay strong and keep at it. It is painful at times but once you get a taste of being free from the can you'll want to kick yourself for not trying sooner.

Welcome Camus,

Jump into your month and post a day 1.

My suggestions:

Drink lots of water
Be honest to your wife and family about what is going on
Exchange numbers with your group mates
Read, read, read and read a lot of the good stuff posted here
Take what you need and leave the rest

Again, welcome!

First off, I will give a little background about my quit. I've been aware of this site for years and would come browse quite often during one of my many feeble attempts to quit dipping. I dipped a can a day for 7 years and never really got to the point where I took quitting seriously. I always told my wife I would quit, then pretend I truly was quit until she caught me again, then pretend to quit again, etc. Finally, I have decided I want to be able to live freely without being controlled by dip. I want to enjoy my wife and 10 month old daughter without constantly thinking about when I will get my next fix until I eventually get cancer and die.

Well, July 2 was my quit day, and I managed 4 days without dip. Then I bought a can yesterday, had a dip, then threw it away. It was about then I realized I needed some sort of community to help talk me down during times like that. Of course, said community has been staring me in the face for years with this site. Even though I've had an account for a few months now, I am just now officially climbing on board. I wish I would have done this a few days ago when I felt miserable and angry but I guess the fact remains I will continually need support and I am finally taking the necessary steps to be free from the stuff.

So here I am ready to kick this bullshit habit to the curb. Nice to meet you guys.
