Hello all. What a great site, I've been looking around for a resource like this, and I am so lucky to have found this. PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND!
I've been dipping for 20 years. Reached a point where I am just taken aback at how much INSANITY I show in maintaining this stupid habit. I've attempted to quit numerous times before, but never really gave this decision the importance it requires. I'm doing it right this time because I am truly sick of this disgusting habit. This shit does nothing for me! No buzz! Nothing. All it is is a drain of my time, my money, and my life... and it puts a wedge between myself and things I want in my life.
I started this habit as a kid, but I'm a grown man now. Time to put this shit away.
Today I took the first half of an online motivational seminar, and tomorrow morning I take the last half, which prepares me mentally to QUIT. I've actually been preparing for this quit date for the last week, been keeping hydrated, avoiding alcohol, started hitting the gym, and started cleaning all the shit up around my home. I want to quit. I want to close the door behind me, move forward, and leave this habit in the dust. I look forward to the community of others who are in the same boat, and exchanging notes, feelings, experiences about this journey.
