Day 3

[rubble]

I'm watching introductions for a day 1 guy....

There are a couple 3 or so days in.

I'm on Day 8. Heres what i can tell you.....

I have turned one corner. i hit a point that i have one huge motivator.... that is i never want to go through day 2,3,4,5 again for the rest of my life. That means progress. That means i feel pretty damn good.
Not by any means at the end of my journey. But, i can attest that every day is huge progress. once i got past the 5th day or so, the physical piece of it was replaced by mental. Which is simple (i said simple, not easy) to beat. Just don't dip. It isn't an option.

Thank you guys.

I'll tell ya, this is my longest time off
The dip. I feel accountable to you
Folks. I will beat it and never return.

I look forward to the day I am the guys
You all are, helping people. If I can
Help somebody stay off this shit it
Would mean the world.

I swear anxiety kicked in. Examined my
Teeth and gums 100 times already.
No sores or anything, but by god my
Stressed ass is watching for them.

I've always been mentally tough. Wrestled my whole life, etc.
But this is testing my mental. I know dipping isn't
An option. And I won't do it.
But the severe withdrawals have moved
To severe guilt I didn't quit sooner and for
StRting in the first place. I'm doing my damnist to focus on
Now and not past or even future. One day at a time.
Thank god for you all. I'm moving along.

We cannot change the past
We cannot control tomorrow
But we can goddamn well own today.

This is the best thing you will ever do for yourself. The anxiety will pass. The worry will pass too. In time, if the guilt persists, you might want to talk with your wife. I did on day 300 to let her know the real extint of my addiction. She was shocked. We cried. I felt like a ton of bricks lifted. Don't feel pressured to do it now, but it might help you later.

Typing in your intro helps you and others more than you know. These intros are where lives are saved. Sharing your story helps others see that they aren't slone. Just like you aren't.

I quit with you today sir.

Rubble, my June brother, you already are the guy helping. You are keeping me and all our brothers accountable. Glad to be quit with you again today.

You're quit strengthens mine stay quit, stay focused, 1 day at a time! It gets so much better!

You stay on it, Rubble. You've got this. You're already helping us by sharing your story. We see ourselves in you, and we hope you see some of yourself in us. Read, read, read here. Your "rambling" is what we do here as we work our way out of the nic maze.

Tell your wife. Make yourself more accountable. Let her in and ask for her help. Share this site with her to help her understand. Instead of making you weak, I think you'll be surprise at how it will strengthen your quit and your relationship.

Keep it up every damn day.

Thanks guys.

Observation: mornings for me have
No cravings.
First craving and bad attitude symptoms hit
At 1:00 pm.
Either way, keeping the bitch
Beat down.

One day at a time bud.

This site is really great. Because,like you, I thought I was alone. Chewed a can a day for 25 years. Suit and tie guy. No one would ever guess I chewed like this. No one. Well...except hundreds or thousands of peeps on Ktc.

For what it is worth, I'm glad the beginning sucks. Because it is a great motivator to keep you quit. You'll never have to relive this shit again. Keep typing on this thread. It is great to vome back and look at your progress.

I'm a finance dude. There are doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, airline pilots, bankers, you name it... Fighting this battle alongside you. You are in the right place.

If I can ever help shoot me a pm. 800 days ago I was in your shoes. It can be done, you are really gonna like the new you.

Congratulations work on 800 days! Rubble listen to these badass quitters! It works my friend. If you want to do this and it damn well appears you do you will! Keep focused, busy and not to cocky this bitch is sitting back waiting patiently for one little slip up and bam you will be fingering the tin again! Do proud to be quit with you my brother!

a bunch of bad asses around here. I definelty have to stay the course and not let you all down.

And you are one of them, post roll, keep your word and honor every damn day, ODAAT, and that my friend is BADASS.

[pab1964]

I'm by no means like that guy. I Graduated in engineering, wrestled in college.
But still a fork in the road for my
Worst decision I ever made. Started Chewing
Ugh
Sorry. Never shared this shit with anybody. I ramble too much
Keep kickin ass

Your not rambling.... Your quitting.
Keep it up!

Rant and rage on that's what we do here. Just a thought let your wife in on what's going on. You may not realize it but you will go through changes and all of them are not what you're use to. Just saying we're here for you, we understand because we're all addicts but your wife needs to know when shits hitting fan! Damn proud to be quit with you! Pm me if you want my number

One more thing about me.

Name is Russell.

My screen name "rubble"....

A friend from highschoo used to call
Me rubble. Happens that same mother
Fucker was one that set me up with first
Dip. Skoal wintergreen.
My fault for trying.
Point is... This kid, great athlete..
Didn't stop at dip, went to cigs, both, weed, meth,
And as far as I know now, homeless or dead.
Just a reminder I guess
