I am the fiancee of a January 2012 quitter.
I am so proud of him, and everyone on this site.
I feel as though I need this site almost as much as him.
I want to encourage him, and never nag him.
I want to encourage all of you.
I dont miss the smell and he's only been 20 hours quit.
I won't miss the fear associated with dipping.
I want him to feel normal, but I know it will take time.
I want him to embrace the fog so he will remember what it feels like.
I want him to have control over his life.
I want to live a long full life with him.
I cant wait to be the fiancee of a January 2012 Hall of Famer!!

kmm125-2 He said the fog has started, it will be a long day today as it will be his first full day!  Thank you to all of you for encouraging and loving him :)
Your role is pretty simple:

1) Tell him you are proud of him
2) Encourage him that he can do this no matter how tough it gets
3) Distract him with lots of sex
:D
In my case number 3 was instrumental in my quit. In fact 1 and 2 drove me nuts. I didn't even want to see my wife most times... Except for while number 3 was active. :P

nice to have you here.

here's my advice:

let this be his quit. no pressure, no nagging, no constant questions.

i just posted on another intro that you have to decide that dipping just isn't something you do anymore. the new you ain't interested in the can.

you also have to act like the new him is set in stone. constant worrying, questions, comments, etc can just remind him that this new him is NEW. so you will have to 100% trust him as a man of his word that he's not dipping.

now, you're also dealing with an addict; a junkie. no one in their right mind is going to 100% trust an addict right away. so you trust, but you quietly verify. watch him, log on to KTC to see if he's posted roll like a good boy, kiss him a lot. women are good at being sneaky... it shouldn't be a problem. :)


go out of your way to help him if he asks, but let him own this. YOU can't be the reason he quits. it has to come from within. it the reason is external, the quit will fail because that external reason will not always be there to remind him why he's fighting.

again, thanks for being here. you're already showing great support.

Who dares, wins.

Stay quit... it is life or death and that is the undeniable truth.

kmm,

I am on day 154 today. Outside of KTC (and this awesome support), my wife has been my #1 support. During the first part of my quit, when it was the roughest, my wife and I would sit and talk and have what we called a "POW WOW", she would remind me of what I have accomplished, and would bring up all the positives in my life and the negatives of when I was using dip. These POW WOW's would help a lot. Remind him of his BLESSINGS and help him to see the HOPE beyond the pain.

I am on day 154 and it is 95% better and continues to get better.

I would suggest you read this if you have not already. Tell him we are here to help.
