My name is Jim and I am an quitter!

[Tabasco]

Day 121 (5-13-11) and I just need to add some things to this. I use my intro as a sort of time line / database I can come back to.

So let's see:

-Mom had a cancerous tumor removed Monday and is still in the hospital not feeling well. I know she will not be around much longer and it is fucking killing me inside. I am working out of town and can not be there with her. That is the worst. My two sisters are there, but I am the baby (at 43) and this fucking sucks!

-Seriously considering looking for another line of work. All the time away from home is killing me. I am missing my kids growing up for the love of money.

-Have some funky looking patches of skin on my face that I will be getting checked out Monday. Yea, cancer runs rampant in my family.

-If I could get my hands on this new guy Oz I would rip his fucking head off and shit down his condescending neck. Hopefully he get's it, but I doubt he will. I will let y'all know how many days he actually makes it.

Hang in bro....... Watched it happen to my mom too. It sucks but you do what you can and take my word, time is a great healer.

1.) Get your face checked for sure

2.) If there's a way, live your life with your kids. I made a big change that way too and made all the difference. No shit, changed everything for me.

3.) I used to go absolute ape-shit over guys like oz (go find some of my old posts for verification) but eventually realized that guys like you are a lot more important and worthy of my time, emotion and sanity. Guys like TCope, gals like Sammy and all of my June 2010 bros taught me that. If I'm going to spend time away from my kids and my wife, it's going to be spent supporting someone like you and not some fuckwadeddushenozzeldicktard like oz!

let me know if I can help with anything and no matter what, stay quit.

Well today is day 95 and I had my first "dip dream" last night LOL. 

In my dream I was at an AA meeting, yes boys and girls I am a recovering alcoholic too, and there was a guy there with a dip.  I am thinking to myself, what a dumb ass, when all of a sudden I can feel and taste a dip in my mouth. 

Very strange dream, but it made me realize how strong an addiction can be.  I have been sober for over 4 years and quit dip over three months ago, but in a single dream I had both of my addictions rear their ugly heads. 

Be vigilant, the beast is just around the corner waiting to grab you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make sure your quit brothers and sisters see this either here or in roll call...it's important for everyone to know that the Hall, or getting cloe to it, is not a magic place...just a really cool milestone. Keep on my brother

Great advice right there. 100 is not a magic number that makes everything go away. It is but a small step in a lifelong quit. There is a nasty funk that happens right around the 100 day mark or shortly after so be vigilant.

STAY QUIT

Jim- I'm on Day 3 and although my first few days have been pretty rough I posted Roll Call for the 3rd time today so all I have to do is not use nic today. Hour by hour if need be. Today I posted Roll Call and today I am Quit. Peace

If you are new here, then heed my warning. DO NOT take your quit lightly. You must go into this with everything you have and then some.

Thanks for sharing your story, Jim. It's very helpful in preparing me for difficulties that may be ahead. And thanks for the warning. It strengthens my resolve.

I'm proud to be quit with you.
