Day Zero

[daniel-san]

Glad you're with us stark....... I'm 25y/can a day/copenhagen on Day 11..... quit for 2 years about 11 years ago just by myself but the support/accountability here is off the hook..... You WILL do this.

But put your helmet on for the next few days! And realize that each day that passes you just KICKED THE ASS of the nic-bitch....

one day at a time, one hour at a time, one second at a time...

this is how i handled the early days, if i made it to quit so will you:

real simple...don't buy, beg, borrow, bum, or steal a dip...post roll everyday like your life depends on it (it does)...get some numbers from your quit group and use them...

Now why didn't I get this kind of reception from you cd? 'no'

Welcome stark. This is truly the place to be. These guys have all become my best friends and brothers and I've never even seen them. By far the best part of the day for me is posting roll and promising my new friends that I won't be a prisoner to nicotine. You'll get thru it. One day at a time.

I picked up a can of dip in college while I was the only one in town, lonely during Christmas, watching It's a Wonderful Life. That was 2004.

I'm a filmmaker. For 5 years, dip has been my security blanket, helping me to write, study, edit, unwind after long days, and deuce. I got married last year, and after unsuccessfully hiding my habit (I'm a terrible liar), my wife had kind of learned to live with it.

The other day, I told her about this site, about wanting to buy some herbal hooch, and that I was serious about quitting. She started crying, because rather than nag, she has bottled up her concern for my health for the 4 years we've been together.

I had a stupid flurry of abuse the past two days, dipping a can of Grizzly Mint before work, at lunch, and after work. Today I dipped the last bit at lunch, and now I'm stuffing my face with sunflower seeds and herbal hooch. I almost blew up on my boss, every move the dog makes gets on my nerves, and I've just kind of been staring at shit since I got off of work, but HEY. I'm not addicted.

So, 5 years, about a can a week, 2 cans a week during high stress times (filming, screenings). At my best, I laugh at the whole idea of dipping and how stupid it is. At my worst, I can't even imagine what it's like to truly relax anymore without dipping.

Posting roll call tomorrow. This place is awesome.

Sounds like you picked the right girl... lucky you!

How's the Hooch (chew, that is)? I've gone the first 6 days still waiting for mine in the mail. Got a review to toss our way?

Glad you're here. March2010 is growing and going.
