Gonna beat it this time

[Mthomas3824]

Ok, so I've been dipping for 11 years, roughly a can a day. I've managed to quit a dozen or so times but always came back to it. For me, it was a crutch when I was stressed, a celabratory treat after something good happened, it helped me focus, it helped me poop, and hell I just really enjoyed a good dip. Now, my gums are receding, my teeth are sorta stained, I'm setting a bad example for my kids, and I could have bought a new boat for what I've spent at 7-11.

I'm 46. I'm too old to be doing this. At least I'm old enough to know better. Two close friends lost thier fathers to cancer this past year. Heading to another funeral tommorrow. That'll be 3. My wife was dianosed with breast cancer this summer, had a unilateral mastectomy 5 weeks ago. How do you handle the news your wife has cancer? I put a dip in as soon as I could. That's kinda fucked up. I've never said that out loud, it stings a bit.

Anyway, I'm here and on day one.

Awesome to have you join the war!!!! Welcome to a motley crew of quitters. I posted a day one and in my head, I didn't think I would make it 30 days let alone 900+. Follow the site with exactness. Stay close and get numbers in your phone. You will need them!

This is the toughest thing I have face in a decade. This is the greatest triumph I have had in a decade. Life, well its life it will still kick you in the balls but being nic free and living life on life's terms, its freedom!

You just declared your independence now is the battle to fight for your freedom. Quitting isn't possible if you quit out of fear, for loved ones or even your God. You have to be selfish and want to quit. All those other reasons support your quit but you. YOU have to want this because you are the one that has to fight!!!!

One day at a time. Don't think forever. Just quit today. If you wake tomorrow, come back and post roll.

Welcome flounder! Great choice! Read everything in this forum, drink lots of water, work out and sleep as much as you can.
I see you posted roll already. Do it everyday first thing. It's your promise not to use. Honor that promise.

Forgot to ask is your screen name in honor of flounder from animal house?
