Great Intro supple, glad I have met you through my days of quit so far. I'm here for you the rest of the way and I know you have my back as well.
Kujo, I look at you and I see me. I hear you talk and I can hear myself. I appreciate you opening up to me. We will have to sleep sitting up, with our backs against each other so nothing sneaks up, but I'm confident we got this.
Hell yes! Great attitude, although I do see a little Brokeback Mountain in this post. Hey whatever floats your boat, but I QLF with both of you regardless!

Thanks cjoy and kingnothing. I realize that the dip had me institutionalized. It's like getting out of jail after decades, you know you want to be free, but your mind has a hard time accepting that freedom at first. I have to train my mind to understand that the real freedom is in NOT dipping, and what is a life worth if not lived free?
THIS is it bro. This is exactly the mindset you need to have. Instead of planning every minute of every day around when we're going to be dipping, we're living life. Life is not lived between dips, it's lived without them. Freedom is worth the battle, just ask the guys posting 1,000 and 2,000 days right now.

Hello everyone. I found ktc a couple days ago, jumped in the chat and was baptized that day by posting my first roll. Today is day 11 of my quit and ktc has been instrumental to my quit since I found it.

I started around 18 years old. I told myself I'd only do it while I was young and would quit in a year or two. Well, I woke up a couple weeks ago, walked to the bathroom mirror and looked at my 25 year old reflection. "7 years", I thought to myself. At 7:30am just after going through a stop light, I balanced an open can of grizzly on my right thigh. Driving with my knee, I used three fingers from each hand to mold a dip to my specifications. In that moment I felt dumber and more ashamed than I ever have. I dropped the dip back into the can, held it out the window and turned it over. I watched gravity pull each shred down to the earth.

That was 11 days ago. When I blink again and I'm 30, I'll look in the mirror and smile. I'll know that because I found this place, and people I'd never met cared about me as much as I cared about myself, I was able to kill the can. I want to say a special thanks to those here and those who were in the chat that first day. Thanks for taking the time to save one more.
'oh yeah'

Awesome post Sups. You have your head in exactly the right place. It's not always going to be easy, but it will ALWAYS be worth gaining your freedom back. Keep it up.
