Day 1 - I know what I need to do

[TheMissingPeace]

Big-Welcome! Honored to be Quit with you. Post Roll Call and keep your word. It makes all the difference. Let me know if there is anything I can do. Peace

My suggestion: You are a badass right? Big lineman not scared of anything right? Put that attitude into your quit. Do not be afraid of the can. Kick the can's ass!!!!

To me anyone that can quit dip is the baddest mother on the face of the planet. Go be that badass!

So here I am - I have been on and off this site for over a year now, lurking and looking at post saying - "Man, I wish that could be me".  Well, that time has come for me.  I created this account last night and I am taking that first step toward a better life for myself and by proxy, my wife.

But...I woke up scared this morning (that actually just took a lot to write).  Crazy right?  Here I am, a 6', 230lb ex-lineman and I am scared of not having a 2oz can in my pocket.  After thinking about it, you know what I should be more afraid of?  Lying to my wife, hoping she doesn't smell dip in a room/on my breath when she gets home.  Her getting fed up with me and leaving me.  That should be what really scares me, but for years, it hasn't enought to make myself want to stop.    She knows, I know she knows, but I always thought, I will just be more sneaky about it.

Don't get me wrong - I am not doing this for her.  I am doing this for me, my welfare, and my sanity.  I have read the top 100 reasons to quit.  Do you know how many of those rang true for me?  I'd say damn close to 80%.  Driving by myself instead of riding with people so that I could have 20 minutes of dirt in my mouth.  Just saying that one makes me wonder just how dumb I have been for 11 years.   That's a long time.

I know this is a ramble and I appreciate anyone that takes the time to read this over.  I am scared of what the next few weeks will bring, but I know that it will make me a stronger person when I get through this.  I will know that I can overcome any adversity that comes along in life by looking back and saying - I overcame one of the most addictive substances freely available to man, I sure as hell can handle this challenge.

You can do it, Big

Promise today - no nic - post roll in August Group - first week sucks, then it gets better - today is the day - we are here to walk with you every step of the way - Corn

Day 137 here. It will not be easy, but it is worth it. You will get yourself back. The plan is simple. Quit one day at a time. Get support, give support. I am glad you are here. Post roll and PM me if I can be of any assistance.

Big...You the Man!!! greatest decision you could make....I was scared to and I was in the 80% range as well..Many of us all fall under the stupid nic bitches umbrella.....But fear not we are here together to stay stron and to stay quit....Stay active on the sight it was a lifeline for me that first week and to some extent still is today 41 days in.....Yup it sucks the first week but it really gets better......hang in there...You need anything let me know

The cool thing about that fear is that by sticking with your brothers here it will be easier. Not easy, but easier. Everyone here is going through it or has gone through it. Get numbers, form some relationships with some these dickheads. It works. Glad you're here.
