My introduction

[basshaug]

Hello all,
My name is Doug, I live in Indianapolis but born and raised in Kentucky.
Three decades and a handful of years have flown by since my first dip. That moment when I became a ball player, a man and a brother to those who dipped on the fields with me. Funny doesn't seem that long ago, well at least in my mind. But like the article I read here, isn't it romantic to love to dip?
Just to keep up with the topic, I quite Monday the 21st. I stopped just three days ago because of my son....he is seven now and likes to carry my cans ....we can't have that!
Three days since I started fighting this headache that seems to drone on in my skull, I quit for my daughter, she's eleven now and she told me that she loves me and wants me to stay around "for ever".
This tapping of my foot has shown the non-stop anxiety I continue to feel since I quit, three days ago....I quit for my wife, you know, she love professional baseball, especially San Francisco Giants and while I was out of town for work, Tony Gwynn died, she let me know that he wasn't much older than me...he dipped!
It seemed so easy to say, just three days ago that I was going to quit, I would stop doing that one thing that kept me calm, that flavor that would wake me in the night to grab, the friend that was with me where ever I went....it seemed it would be so easy, IT'S NOT! But I will do this because my reasons to do it are simple, the smiles I need to give back, the kisses that need shared and the whispers to flirt with, my family I need more than I do the dip. Thanks for listening and I hope I didn't upset anyone, it has been a hard day.

As another Indy area quitter.... good shit! I am proud to quit with you today.

I have walked around Indy with a 6 foot 4 cross dresser and a large foam sword strapped acrost my back, so you have my support for living in such a great city!

If you ever come across this scenario in real life, please back away slowly.

My favorite football team does reside there, so I'll quit with you, you and any naptown quitter.

Hi Doug,

From one former Kentuckian to another, you've got this.

Like dirty said, your quit has to be for you. But moreover, you have to get some anger about you to make it happen. I started soft and failed after only a couple days. But you aren't going to make that mistake. Get some anger about you. Hate the first dip you took, and hate the last one.

And go Redlegs.

Get in and post roll in Oct 2014. Read the welcome center it tells you how..

Concur that you gotta quit for you. If you want to quit this place will help. But YOU have to own it. No one can do it for you.

Let's get you started by making the decision to post roll. Then quit ODAAT. You can do it.

Hey Doug. First, don't ever worry about upsetting anyone here. Your tale is all too common. But I do have a word of advice. It's noble that you want to quit for your kids and your wife. I wish the same things for myself. But the bottom line is you have to want to quit for you. You are an addict, just like the rest of us. You and you alone have to own that quit. Your family will be a very happy byproduct of your willingness to quit.

All those feelings you feel right now will get worse. It is going to suck. Fight through it. Use the resources on this site, the most valuable of which are the members. Post roll everyday and live up to that promise for that day alone. Wake up the next day and do it all over again. And my sincerest apologies for being married to a Giants fan.
