38 Years Down The Drain

[suthern_gntlman]

I didn't write my HOF Speech...

I told Tim I wanted to wait until I was at 365, for I had been quit for 6 months a few years earlier and still caved.

I wonder, had I went ahead and written it; would I be starting back over 330 days later?

Had I written my HOF, would I have seen it as the "all-in" I really needed.

Had I written my HOF, I would had written from the heart. I would've put it all out there. It might could've been the expunging I really needed to truly stay quit!

We will never know but one thing is for sure right now! Bring on day 100!!

38 years. Not a day longer though. You're ready. You committed, no looking back. Daily post early when you get up to promise to quit that day only. Tomorrow is another day. I know you'll stay quit daily because gentlemen always keep their word. So it seems all we have to conquer is getting you to post roll. Be sure to create accountability by getting to know your quit bros and sis. Trade cell digits. Text each other. Come in here and rage, vent. We're ready for you to be quit.

Done4Me,

I've thought about you the last few days. Maybe I should change my name to suthern_not_gntlman...

I don't know if you read my answers to the three questions, for why I caved. If you haven't, you can find it here: My Answers

Nothing excuses my actions. I've got to move forward from here.

As I sit here in bed, from pneumonia, I've had a whole lot of time to consider my quit and my cave. I've made some decisions.

I will no more idly pass through the halls of KTC. I will take my time and use all of the resources available to me. That includes this Intro.

I realize that I can write whatever I need to in this little blog (thanks Can_I_kick_it). I can express my frustrations and expound my delights. I can let each and everyone of my brothers here at KTC know how much their help has provided for me and how much I am willing to help others be provided.

This blog will be my journal. My journal for the next 331 days. I made it to 330 this last time, this time my goal is eternity!

Done4Me, please don't think too unkindly towards me, for not being the gentleman I should've been.

God bless...

Thanks for the words! Got through the first day by suddenly flying off the handle and yelling for barely any reason whatsoever... It just like came on me... Decided I better just go to bed. Sleep is better than stupidity...

Rolling out of bed now! Facing the day and bracing my way!

Day 2 here we go!

Welcome SG! Best decision you ever made! I dipped for 29 years, and have been free for over 5 years now. This is a long, hard road, but it's one that is SO worth traveling. Like everyone has said, it's going to suck for a while, but then it won't. Just hang tough, grab a hold of something and let's do this!

As far as the oral fixation, I was a huge user of fake dip. I used it for my first 250 days or so. Personally, I loved Hooch Spitfire. I was a Copenhagen dipper in my former life, and I liked the bite that the Spitfire gave, but everyone is different.

You can do this!
Just do Today, in the a.m. do Today again...before you know it you'll have some days under your belt....it will get better..you just gotta let it.
Welcome to taking your life back....work this site, make friends, get into chat, save your life...
I quit with YOU Today, just Today.

I quit with you sthrn-gent! my first run in with nicotine was also in 5th grade when i skipped track practice to smoke cigarettes. I was a full blown addict by middle school. Transferred over to dip and chew in high school.up until may 12, 2014, I can count the days i didnt use nicotine on one hand. I was 28. That means my entire adult life and young adult life I was under the influence of this chemical. Every single day. It's a sobering thought, but we cannot do a damn thing about the past except learn from it and do better today.

i am so damn grateful for each and every one of my 354 days of freedom. Own your quit. Let it embody who you now are. Congrats on day 2 brother!

For the times where you want to scream FUCK while your head does repeated spins, all it means is that you're winning, nicotine is losing. Stay strong, good days are coming.

38 years ago, I took my first dip of copenhagen. I was in the 5th grade and took to it like it was moonshine! I've quit I don't know how many times since then, and at least 4 times in the past year. I'm bound and determined to put it away for good this time! I have to thank my son, for putting me onto this forum.

If I can just get past the need to have something in my mouth to spit out, I'll be just fine....

Welcome, Mr. Gntlman!

You've made the best decision you could have made. If you get involved around here you can't fail. We absolutely won't let you.

The most important thing we do around here is abstain from all forms of nicotine. No gum, no patches, no dip, no smoke.

The second most important thing we do is we sign our pledge to not use nicotine today on the daily roll call. Around here they say, "wake up, piss, post roll." If the day wears on and we haven't heard from you, we'll call, txt, email, or PM you to find out if you're still quit and to encourage you post your roll early! Every Damn Day! One Day At A Time!

Your life is about to suuuuuuuuuuuck, but we embrace the suck, the suck is a privilege, it is the down payment we gladly as the cost of freedom, integrity, and health. And after that you'll feel better than you can even remember having ever felt.

I quit with you today,

Robb

^^ this is some solid advice.

You have never quit before, only briefly stopped, this is your last and final quit.

Check out the welcome center: forum/55560/
Read stories, introductions, wins and fails and cancer scares. It is hard but it can be done.

Like RobbWolf said, wake up, piss, post roll and repeat:
topic/11112756/3/#new

Lastly, it is easy to cave and it will be hard to break an addiction of 38years but if it ain't hard, it ain't worth doing!!!

You already got some great advice. But, I want you to know that you can be quit IF you really want it. I've chewed for 33 years and have been quit 437 days!

I quit with you today!

Sg, dipped 38 years myself been quit 123 days! Proud of every damn second of it! Get ready my friend because just like me you are gonna have a new life, have you thought about what you gonna do without the death bitch controlling you? I love it! Just wish I would have stopped 30 years ago, so I could have spent a lot more time with my kids. Look bud get you some fake dip, seeds, candy whatever it takes to keep quit! Get posted up and let's get you some badass quit going! I'm quit with you today my friend!
