Day 1... I quit

[srans]

Congrats apple. 'clap'

[B-loMatt]

100 days (well... a few hours yet)

So... I take a spill at work today and break a rib. Awesome.
Happy HOF to me _  Life sure has a way of putting things in perspective... sometimes painfully!

My HOF is important to me, a HUGE milestone! But really... 101 is just as huge. Today is just another day I get to quit with all of you and... THAT is my extreme honor! Thank you brothers and sisters... I quit with you today.

Congrates Applejack! You get to celebrate 100 days of being quit from the most addictive thing known to man by suffering one of the most painful bone breaks known to man! Do not laugh, cough, sneeze, fart, burp, twist quickly at a loud noise, move, eat, or breath for a few weeks, and you will be fine... Anyway you can always write a few drafts of your HOF speach to take your mind of the pain.

Too late man. I sneezed, like, 15 minutes ago. I'm still cryin' like a li'l girl! Dammit!

Lol at least you have an easy way to make craves disapear.

Today I did something for the 93rd day in a row...

I posted roll and promised every person in my group, every person who posts with me, every quitter on this site who has never even freakin' heard of me... no nic for me today. I QUIT!!

It takes me awhile now 'cuz I post everywhere it seems. It's my pennance for 25 years of being an idiot slave to a weed. Sometimes it's a chore but... I do it gladly. Why? HOF in 7 days. That daily promise is life boys and girls... do it.

Proud of you bro. I'm waiting for you on the first floor. It has a Pretty good view. Kind of been worrying about the furniture. Been hearing some things about critters and stuff. Can't tell you what I've seen. They have rules. I'm kinda worried I've told you to much. They have some mighty big critters I'm worried about. Quit with you any day bro.

That's just wrong bro 'Crazy'

'crackup'

Applejack I heard that the highlands are great for man loves beasters since the sheep push back when they are facing a drop... You were 2 weeks earlier in your quit than I am now when you sent me a little encouragement the first days of my quit... I am still inspired following your trail. Quit on!

Day 50

This will be wordy. Sorry...

I realize I never posted a proper intro. Not really. Aside from a few delarations of resolve and other generic tidbits, I posted nothing about ME. I was reluctant to and now, 50 days later, I think I know why. Ninja mentality.

Sadly, the biggest part of my life was dip and for 25 years I hid it and lied about it. You can't do something (lie) for that long and not have it infect your personality. The end result is never opening up or letting people close because you have a dirty little secret that needs hid. Retarded right!? Addict rationalization 101. Part II of said retardation?... I don't like ME. The "real" me can see all of the above for what it is and loathes it. I... don't like... ME. Quitting created a bizzare situation. I stopped doing what I hated about myself so I had no more reason to dislike myself (well, there ARE other reasons but that's another post). BUT... too many years hiding my secret made it too strong. I actually have to learn to be ME... without the seret dictating the shots. Whoa.

I'm 42. I'm a professional muscian. Because that doesn't always pay alot (music... not as glam/lucrative as you think!) I also work for the school district where I live. Married 18 years to a woman who should have beat my ass blue years ago for lying/hiding stuff/ruining my health/wasting our families money/etc. She's awesome - I owe her. I'm dad to an 11 yr old daughter. She's my heart. I've been an active music minister for 10 years. I don't really like to cuss a whole lot other than fairly standard fare like helldamnshit. However... a beautifully placed F bomb is very satisfying. I am a dipper of 25 years and (call me out for this next statement, I don't care) I fucking loved it and... I fucking hated it. You will understand the duality of that statement. I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks too. Yaaay. This was mostly under control until I quit then... my good friends anxiety and panic perked up - the nic bitch woke 'em up because she had to leave the building. My quit has not seen a smooth moment yet. I fight every damn day. Hard... Every. Damn. Day. I don't feel better yet. I know my health is better... my doc and dentist assure me of that. Cool.

These last 50 days have been the hardest, yet most rewarding thing I have ever done. Cold turkey - no substitutes. Quit.

I did that... for ME.

WOW- funny how we think we are the only ones that feel this way- I too have/had a lot of self loathing throughout my life - I am proud to be quit with you-

Wow, that was really brave to post, A.J. I agree with Dougie, so much of what you say I can Totally relate to. Especially about the self-loathing regarding the dip habit...I am a woman so I felt a lot of shame. What "normal" woman would do this habit? So, you are not alone. Btw, I can't play any instrument or sing well at all, but the best part of my week is singing at the top of my lungs at church. (Luckily, the band plays really loud). I admire you!

I haven't posted on your page. Hummm. I'm glad you are here. With time I think you will solve your anxiety issues, or atleast get better control of them now that you have removed a poison from your life.
