Day 1... I quit

[bronc]

Healing is a bitch.

Especially when the wound was deep. Just when you think youÂ’re over itÂ… wham!... you move wrong or bump it. Dammit. YouÂ’re reminded that because it was deep itÂ’ll be a part of you forever.

At 568 today, IÂ’ve been cruising for a while and itÂ’s been nice. IÂ’ve stepped way back from posting and just being here in general. I needed to unplug a bit because I jumped all inÂ… I mean, ALL in when I quit. Logged my 10, 400th post the other day. SoÂ… it was time to do some more front porch quitting. Just enjoying the view.

It was also time to tackle a hurdle IÂ’ve put off since the beginning of my quit.

This is going to sound ridiculous but I think youÂ’ll all know where IÂ’m coming from. Some of the things we did while we dipped became, in our minds, impossible to fathom doing without dip. Mowing the lawn, working on cars, driving, video games, readingÂ… the list goes on. Me?... I love to read. I meanÂ… Love. To. Read. Usually 2 to 4 books a week.

HavenÂ’t touched a book since last April.

See, I haven’t read a book without a dip in since I was 17… I’m 44 now. Like all of us, I tainted something awesome with my addiction. I tried a few times over the last year to sit down and read but, man, I got geeky. Couldn’t sit still. Needed a snack. Had to pee. Whatever. It was a kind of PTSD. My addict brain whispering, “Remember this was sooooo much better with a dip in? So much more relaxing and enjoyable”. So… I let it go. I haven’t been ready to tackle it yet. At some point I tied the enjoyment too close to my addiction. Stupid huh? I almost hate writing this because it’s sooo lame but… it is what it is. Getting it out will help me remember.

This week?... time to be done. Bought myself 4 new books. Devoured one in a day and a half and plowing through number 2. Why Did I let it go for so long? Dunno. Addicts arenÂ’t rational folk sometimes. I guess IÂ’ll be dealing with the fallout of 25 years of stupidity for some time yet. ButÂ… thatÂ’s why IÂ’m here. One day at a time... Healing.

Damn AJ. We are the same.
Dumbass dippers we were.
Proud of You Brother!!!! Fuck it. Read On! Reading is good. Dippin' is bad, period
They ain't gettin' no more of our life or cash. We kill the robber EDD. ODAAT and NAFAR Today With YOU All day.
Your quit is strong.

Powerful message AJ, thank you!

A musician and a reader. I have heard of a Canadian Drummer that likes to read too! Your stock went up even higher in my book today AJ! Good post Bro!

Keep on reading AJ. Proud for you today. Every one of these wins makes you stronger.

Must taste really good...that slice of life you just gained back. Matter of fact, I bet it tastes much better than it ever did when you had a dip in your mouth.

This is a great post. We always say, it continues to get better. Here's a guy coming up on the 6th freakin' floor and it still gets better for him every day. Why? because he's active, has a brotherhood that runs as deep as an abyss, and does not take for granted one ounce that no matter that number or what floor he's on, he'll always be an addict.

AJ, do books on tape really count as reading? Nice work Shane, way to continue battling the addiction. Shit keeps me motivated along for another day.

goo stuff.

Man I'm so proud to be quit with you. I love it! Everytime we take back something that we stupidly gave away it's a victory. Each thing...a victory for all of us. Read on my friend. Every word, every sentence, every page, every chapter, every book is one big giant FUCK YOU to the nic bitch. Read!

[Mogul]

I quit with ya Shane. You are a big reason I'm still here. I had 10 dip dreams in 10 days. Everytime I woke up I was scared I caved. This drug is real but us quitters of KTC have kicked some real ass, even if we are staring off the front porch just taking it in.

You sir are a model quitter.
