Hello,
I am a 36 year old guy, been dipping for half my life. I have never really wanted to quit until now. I have tried several times, but never made it past about a week. I have a 3 year old daughter and a son on the way in 5 weeks. I want to be here for them when they are my age, just like my dad is for me. I decided yesterday at 7:30 PM that it was time to quit. It wasn't until I read some of the posts on this site though that I went to my car, grabbed my can, and dumped it out.
I didn't realize just how many triggers I have until I started reading about some of the difficulties in quitting here....driving in the car by myself, after eating lunch, playing video games, golfing, fishing. I am ready to give it up for good, but I know that I will need help. While my wife will definitely be supportive, I know that she doesn't understand just how hard quitting is. She has never been addicted. So I am hoping that I can find some additional support here.
Thank you.
Kyle
