Day 1 of the rest of my life

[Xzacto]

Hey guys! Ive been prolonging this day for so long, it is a relief to finally get here.
My brother ( NoMas) just recently started his quit and pushed me over to this site. I was inspired by his progress and the help this site has been for him that it was time for me to do it too. And hey, what better time than now.

My Story

I started back in high school, playing football and baseball- hunting, and fishing - all the great times to enjoy a dip. It snowballed in college and then when i hit the working world as a sales guy, I was hooked even harder. I was a cope man for the first 13 years. Got engaged to my beautiful wife and quit. I had really done it. I made it 8 months without a dip. But with that, came the bad stuff. I gained an ass of weight,( literally a new ass) around 50 lbs and got depressed as shit.
Secretly blamed her for the weight gain b/c she was the one that forced me to quit (its never our fault right??) started hitting the gym, got frustrated again and started dipping again.
That was 3 years ago. Oh yeah, all that time i was dipping in secret. She still doesnt know i started back. That is what hurts the most. I live my life by being as honest as i can, and expect others to do the same. I cant stand to be lied to and take pride in my word. I would never in a million years lie to my wife - but this fucker of an addiction had my mind so screwed up that i thought the lie was justified. I was thinking that this dipping was helping me keep the weight down, or dealing with tough situations in work and family. All along it was the MAIN cause of it.
I think the real reason i started back is that i wasn't ready to quit to begin with. I felt like i was forced to. I'm tired of living part of my life in secret. Its time.

Anyway, Its gone for good. I am done with having something as small as a dip can run my life.
Its not going to be easy, I'm going to need you boys' help. But i know i can do it.

I'm on day 3 myself, and it's funny how we allowed the positive aspects of our lives to justify our addiciton.....talk about insanity! Keep it up! We can do this!!

Hey bro! I want everyone to know that we had one phone conversation today(we usually talk 2-3 times a day). During this conversation, he asked me how the quit was going(Day 7). I told him that I was really digging the shit out of this site so far and how good it felt to write out your feelings and share with others who were going throught the same hell you were. I told him whenever he was ready I was there and so was KTC. Several hours later I get a text and here he is.

Bro, I am very proud of you. I always felt like it was partially my fault that you dipped, even though I tried to get you not to put that shit in your mouth(I got it from watching you Dad!). We definitely reinforced each other's habit.

No matter how I feel about your quit, this is yours and it doesn't matter what the hell I think. You can do this. I can do this.

You are buying the seeds and atomic fireballs for the hunt on Saturday asshole!

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

Great decision to quit, Tiger.

I have a question. Do you intend to tell your wife about your dipping, and the fact that you have quit?

I am not suggesting you tell her this very minute; I know it's a big step. But I am betting that it would be a step in the right direction. You will feel better about yourself, and your quit. And hopefully have the support and understanding of your wife.

Quit for you, and no one else. Don't let failure be an option. Post roll EVERY DAY. This is your promise to not use. Then keep your promise. Stay quit at all costs. This place is a support network like no other. The resources at your disposal are invaluable. LIVE on this site if you have to, and read all that you can. PM me if you need anything.

You will do this.

I am with LA he is a sage quitter but I would wait until you get about a week or two under your belt before you bring momma up to speed. Just a hunch and Great decision to quit.

[jaygib]

In it with you. The lies we told such, but I can't wait to live honest relationships with alot of people and I'm sure you feel the same.
