  • Interests: Well I chose my family over the 2 cans of Copenhagen a day that I have been chewing since I was 15. I just turned 40 a few weeks ago. Playing minor league baseball didn't help either. After seeing several Dr.'s because of all sorts of crazy feelings I had after my quit I learned I have anxiety that seems to be a direct affect of quitting this SHIT! Thanks to the people who have affirmed that too me. (I never knew what anxiety was!) I will do this for my family! I coach both of my sons baseball team a 14 year old team, and a 12 year old team. My two daughters also are active! One is on a competition gymnastics team and the other is on a dance and cheer squad. My wife is amazing and they all had to deal with my sorry ass (the first weeks of the quit) attitude, temper, and sheer disrespect!

so many great news on here, and I too have found that exercise pulls me through a lot of my "funks"!

Today it's been 60 days since my lip was loaded up with poison. My brain rewarded me with a nice and vivid dip dream last night.

I wish I could say that this time has sailed right on by but that would be a lie. This has been a hard fought battle and it still is to this day. The past two weeks I have had more of those hopeless moments where my brain was telling me I couldn't keep this up and strong craves occurred right after that feeling.

My temper is also still way out of control but may be a tad better.

Luckily, I have my tools and some good strength so I have been able to beat it down and will continue to.

I think I will go hit the trail today and ride my worries away.

Thanks for all the support.

PD,
Thanks for sharing. You are a fighter and we all have faith in you. Don't worry if you slip up or miss a step I will be here ready to grab you. I am damn proud to be a Duck with you. Keep fighting on!

If that temper ever becomes a problem call me and yell at me first. I will be more than happy to help by listening or yelling back. No on else should suffer from your temper because as you know it is not their fault that we are addicts. If some one cuts you off, first flip them off then smile because you are quit. If someone pisses you off smile because you are quit and they are an asshole.

Great job bike man. I remember feeling just like you around 70 days. I was so tired of the mental roller coaster. Well, the truth is your learning life without the poison and you have a ways to go. I remember saying something to the fact of I feel worse than ever. I didn't care though,, I was done with the poison no matter what. No matter how bad I felt,, I had came to far and failure was not an option. After a few days I felt better and my quit continued.

You've come around the corner now my friend. Now your learning to walk without the poison leading you. Your learning to put one foot in front of the other and you decide if you want to take a left or a right. The poison will not lead your path anymore.

I was having a hard time controlling my emotions for a while. It was well after 100 that I began gaining control of my emotions. I felt good after 100, but when things occurred that tested my emotions I failed miserably. You learn that you have to try hard to control your temper and other feelings. I'm at 216 and feeling great now. My emotions are a lot more under control.

Can't tell you exactly when I began gaining control, but I did. My wife began noticing it first. My wife really likes the new me now. She was a trooper because I had difficulty for a while. I'm not totally healed yet and don't know if I ever will be, but things continue to get better and better. This life is so much better than the other one where I was bound tied and gagged.

You will feel a lot better in a few day. Go ride that bike Dawg. Quit with you today!
Congrats on 60 brother! You are killing ur quit. I am with you on the hard fought battle... This quit is not easy. Anyone that says that it easy is full of it, or they are not serious about being quit. The reason it it not easy is because you are serious and don't want the poison in ur life. NAFAR and ODAAT. Stay positive and stay quit. I am quit with you today!
Hey man, you will get to a little funk late in your quit. I was there. Mine made me downright depressed it seemed like. It was like the fog beginning again.

BUT, trust us. This will pass and it will pass much faster. You will be through this in no time at all.

And, once you cruse through this shit, you will be staring at your HOF!!

Crazy I know. But, I think most guys on here will testify to the same thing. Shitty at first, get settled in, then you are killing it day by day, then out of the blue - this shit. You get down for a few days, it passes and then it is like the sun returning after a storm. Once you notice you are back to normal, you are congratulating those in your group that are 10 days ahead of you on their HOF. Those 10 days go by fast, then boom. HOF.

Make it good down the stretch. See you at a hundy.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Keep fighting PD. You are so close to a better place. As srans sagely tells people: keep pushing through the door that is in front of you, and on the other side it is better. You may want to read some intro threads and see how your fellow bad ass quitters were doing days 50-80. Seems like a common place for nic to put up a fight, but you get through that and hit a nice easy place.

Today is the first birthday that I can remember having without a dip in my mouth.

Got up feeling great, took the biggest dump of my life. Ate a huge breakfast and about to load up and head to mountain bike trail.

I have had dip dreams for 4 nights in a row. Vivid dreams with excessive dipping. It's funny in a way, I awaken so sick of dipping all night that the last thing I want is a dip....

Happy Birthday PDawg!

Enjoy some cake with that quit today!
Happy freaking Birthday!!! It's my sons birthday today as well. Quit on! 'oh yeah'

Holy Freakin Cow....50 days today.

What a rewarding little first section of my journey. That little nic bitch is a true bitch but I slapped her down and will continue to do so.

My head is on straight and I am recharged and ready to fight through this next phase of "Funk". I promise today just like I have every day, I will not dip.

With the support of my brothers here, I will beat this thing.

Keep that attitude moving forward you are rocking today. Like you have noticed your quit is like the directions on the shampoo bottle...wet, lather, rinse, repeat until desired cleanliness is reached.

Wake, Post Roll, Quit, Repeat!
