Day 22 dawns...
Been head down at work - but managed a boys weekend dip free (which my buddy appreciated - no dipping on his new boat or in his house, no spitters to collect on Sunday morning :)
Appreciate those who have reached out to make sure my quit is still going strong (it is) and the words of encouragement
3 weeks in Flynnie! You got this. Proud to be quit with you today brother.
You know what's funny: this weekend I went on a trip with a buddy as well. He's not a dipper and started encouraging me to quit a couple years ago, so his accountability helps. But that being said, it's obviously my choice whether to stay quit or not. If I'd wanted to cave he couldn't stop me.
Well, driving has always been a trigger for me. And spending 12 hours in a car I thought would be tough. I thought about dipping a couple of times to be certain, but never fought a real strong crave during the whole trip. Having a friend there to talk to helped, but what I thought about when I got back home last night was how liberating it was to go on a trip and visit landmarks without having to worry about having supply, having a place to spit, dealing with spitters that were getting full or gross, etc. That addiction owned me and it was such a hassle to do. There will be tough days ahead without doubt but glad to be quit with you today.
