Well, back again after 2366 days without a dip!!!!

I just posted in the HOF section.

As I look back now, dip was such a waste of money and it was bad for me.

I conquered it for myself and my family.

IF YOU ARE NEW AND ARE READING THIS, STOP DIPPING NOW, YOU CAN DO IT!!
Yay!

A status update.

Glad he's still quit but... don't be this guy.
Get involved and stay involved.

Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

I came here looking for ANYTHING to give me the motivation/determination to quit the f**king can!

I found it here!

I have been without a dip for 2366 days!

You can do it!

Man (or woman) up and just quit!

You do not need it, you will not die, and by continuing to dip, you are letting everyone in your life (and yourself) down for not quitting!

Whoever built this website, Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Day 57 and I figured I would post another update.

I no longer think about dipping everyday (hence why I missed roll call a few times).

My mouth still waters when I read stories here about other people dipping.

Well it is day 32 for me today and I thought I would post an update.

I do not have the "butterfly's in the stomach" cravings anymore (those disappeared after day 3 for me.)

I now do not think about having a dip every hour anymore (those quit after ~day 15 for me).

I only think about dipping MAYBE 2 times a day now and those are the times that I used to throw in a fatty everytime (when I start a computer game or when I drink an alcoholic beverage).

I noticed for the first time in a long time that my mouth is watering (because my body wants a dip) while I read some of the HOF speeches.

I still have not taken a dip yet and I still hold the promise that I will not take another dip again.

If you are new and you are reading this, you CAN QUIT!

START YOUR QUIT NOW, DO NOT WAIT!
Good deal!

OK, OK!

I just got home and threw ALL the cans away!

Since it is day 7 for me, the trigger/cravings do not affect me the way that they did on the first through the third day (I do not have to yell at myself in my head to "fucking man up").

Now it is more of a "well that was just a dip moment".

I know I am not supposed to drink because my "strong will" may disappeear, but to me the concept of that statement means you are weak willed. 

I gave my WORD, to MYSELF that I will not take another dip, and if I do take another than that means (to ME) that I am not the person that I see myself as being.

I bet you guys/girls hear this all the time, however I have been through a lot of "WILL TESTERS" that not many people have defeated.

I will stay here on the site and will probably be a member for a long, long, time.

Oh, I forgot to tell you I am also a Christian (although my language sometimes makes me sound unlike one).

Sounds pretty standard for folks around here, Emb. And I get the feeling that most of the perverted lunatics on here are also Christians like yourself. I'd say you're in good company. Welcome aboard.

Oh yeah, keep that shit outta yer pie hole!
Good man. Toss out all tobacco related paraphrenalia. Anyway, pull up a chair. The beer's in the fridge (you're just on rations for a couple of weeks). You'll do just fine here. I'd say you're in good company. Anyway, I'm a Christian as well, but I'm sure when Jesus stubbed his toe on a pointed rock in those crappy sandals they had those days he said Awww !@#$%# that !@@#$%$# hurts, !@#$%#@@#$$!!!!!!! just as we would. But that's just my interpretation. to each his own. Welcome again sir.
Good decision, now that extra baggage is gone, you can conentrate on the hard road ahead of you!!! Embrace the suck and a\hang on for the ride!!! And yes, I too am a Christian.
