Stig's Intro: Dad, Husband, Ex-Coward

[SirDerek]

we lied, cheated, stole and borrowed to feed our addiction

For my intro, I put 3 things in the title: "Dad, Husband, Ex-Coward". Each of those factors into my quit in an important way, and I want to walk my way backwards through that list.

Starting with Ex-Coward (Part I of III):

I don't like the Addict I am. He's a coward little bitch. He makes excuses. He scurries from the light of day and the attention of friends. He's a fucking pussy that can't participate meaningfully in a relationship.

While I'll always be that addict, I'm quit being that coward. I own up to my addiction. And I'll scurry no more to get that next dip.

After 20 years of being weak, I'm strong. One. Day. At. A. Time.

Strong.

I embrace the fog, smile at the pain, laugh at the crave -- all those are signs of weakness leaving my body and I celebrate that with one more day of quit.

Great attitude, when that coward is whispering in your ear come back here and re-read this, and slap it with a dose of reality and honesty like I am reading..

You will find that there are a lot of us in that same boat where we do not like the addict that we are, and yes it is that hatred that can bring us together.

Great decision you have made to quit, in addition a great decision to join us here. Now just remember that while here, read up, and remember these 3 words:

Brotherhood

Accountability

Success

They are very important and can help in so much more than in just quitting nicotine. Look around and ask around the site and you will see.

be good be strong and be quit....and yell if you need anything

I like your honesty. Keep embracing the suck, it will power your quit. Hate that addiction. Learn all you can about it, it's evil and strong as hell. Keep building a network here, that's critical. And keep logging, Cbird knows how to help a guy quit when you're ready. You seem ready. Glad to quit with you Stig.

Quit on brother! You'll be an awesome dad!

I'm Stig.
I'll be 36 years old in July.
I started dipping Kodiak when I was 16 years old.
The math is simple and scary: As of May 5, 2014, I had dipped 56% of my life.

I was working on a framing crew when I met the Bear. Framing up stick houses in the NC summers -- a pinch hit the spot. The General Contractor I was working for -- who has become a close friend and mentor -- threatened to fire me if he ever caught me dipping again. So I hid it. Ninja-dipped for almost 2 decades after that -- hid it from him, my family, and everyone I ever loved. When you're dipping a tin a day, that's real ninja skills.

The past 12 months have been big for me. Got married 7 months ago. Wife got pregnant 4 months ago. In 5 effing months I am going to be a dad!

I want to be alive for as much of my son's life as I can. I want to be there to take care of of my wife when we're old (and should probably outlive her since she'll be a mess without me). Most importantly, I need to be proud of the man I see when I look in the mirror. And when I look at a man chained to a tin of carcinogenic weed, it's hard to be proud of that chump. I need to be free.

That's why I'm on Day 4, looking forward to posting roll on Day 5 first thing tomorrow.

Hey man, I am quit with you today. We will all be here to help you, and you to help us by keeping each other accountable. Posting roll .. man you cannot understand how important it is until you have been involved here for a few days. It really is the cornerstone to success in Kicking the can.
P
Go read, read and read, peoples intro threads, HOF speeches, and the articles on the killthecan.org web page. I cannot tell you how much reading those articles helped me thru the worst of it. In fact, whenever the craves get strong, I find the best remedy after a deep breath and a drink of water is to hop on here and read.

Do this with us one day at a time.

quit with you today! get your freedom and self respect back from the bitch 1 day at a time!

Great attitude Stig, I can see you quitting like fuck every damn day. Also I seen you in chat, way to be involved in this thing man. I think you realize how serious this is. I quit with you man. Keep kicking ass.

Welcome Stig. Very similar story. Kodiak at 16, strong ninja skills. I'm starting day 4 today. Let's quit this crap together. See you in the Aug Roll group topic/10225414/53/

I quit with you stig. ODAAT NAFAR QLFEDD
