I know...I know. I expect and welcome the shit storm to arrive because you guys care. Bring it.
For those of you that don't know me, my name is Bobby Riggins and I was an Aug. 2009 HOF member.
I was quit for 2 years and then I caved big time. In 2011 I found out about my wife's countless affairs and because I wanted to catch her in the act, while trying to save my marriage of 11 years...yet not tell anyone, I thought my only friend was ol' Copenhagen. Then, I stayed with it through the divorce as I battled depression. Then I moved from NC to Kansas City. Then I didn't want to quit. I got into that old rhythm, dip at the office, on road trips, watching tv, mowing the grass, on the golf course, etc.
My new quit date was October 26, 2015. I was supposed to have out patient gallbladder surgery...but the gallbladder was inflamed and attached to my liver. In the process of trying to remove it, they clipped my hepatic artery and completely cut my common bile duct - I lost 2 liters of blood and was in ICU for 2 weeks...then another 20 days in the hospital. Thankfully I'm better now but I still have a long road to recovery including another major surgery to fix the cut duct.
I don't miss it...I don't want it. I need your help to stay quit this time around. That was a big reason why I caved, because I got comfortable with my quit and fell off the radar of this site. I could have talked to you guys about my wife's wayward ways...but...anyway. Thank you for listening.
Bobby
