Hello all!! My Name is Longshot, I am a personal trainer and yes, I am an addict! Ok, so I am on day 16( with the July Junkies) and am just now getting around to this Introduction. Haha...but hey, In my defense, When you've never navigated this site and you're in the fog of being quit for a day, this site is fucked up!! Lol. I couldn't understand shit on here. Hell, it took me four days to learn how to post roll call for God sakes!. Coming off a two can a day (of Skoal Extra, no less) habit, I was in a fucking fog like you wouldn't believe. I don't even remember the first 6 to 8 days....But that is gone. My mind is clear and am ready to start a new chapter in my life. A chapter where only the muscle beating inside my chest controls and guides my actions, not some fucking poison in a plastic can. I want to find love and focus on her, not thinking about how to end the date early for a fatty of that sweet sweet garbage. I want to be able to not have to leave anywhere early...anymore!! All this sneaking around shit is fucked up!! What, did I want to die a hermit, Going to bed alone every night with a wad of shit  in my mouth?? That might be heaven for some...but not for me...not for me. Feel free to contact me for anything...even if there are still some things I need to do yet on this site. haha. But I am here for anyone in the fight to quit the shit!!! Peace.
Glad you found us. Post everyday. Read, read, read.
Longshot,

Nice intro. We are at different places in life but so similar with the addiction and the resolve to quit. July has some impressive quitters. I just added you to my list.

I am through the fog. Had a fast and difficult funk. I am gearing for another funk but every day in my 30's has been awesome. Very light or no craves.

I think it might be easier for me now because I took the extra advise and quit alcohol. I was only going to do it until day 50 but today I am wondering why I shouldn't make that a perm quit as well?

All the vets promise it will get better. I know that I have bad days and great days. I just post each day and focus on the day at hand. Simple concept, safe and effective.

I prefer the reality of being a quit addict vs an active user. Life is better quit!
Quit And Be Free
