Morning everyone. Long time dipper short time quitter. Had supper last night, took a dip, then had my 7 year old daughter poor the rest of the can down the sink. I had set my date earlier this month and stuck to my plan. I told my daughter I had just taken my last dip and wanted her to throw the rest away. She was ecstatic.
I have been dipping since I was around 12 and am now approaching 43. I have known for a long time I needed to quit, but always came up with a reason not to. I have now made a conscious decision to quit. I know it will not be easy as I have "quit" a thousand times in the past. I am here to quit and hopefully help someone else quit along the line. I have quit many addictions over they years, most recently alcohol, but dip is the one that has had me by the short curleys the longest. I am here to humbly ask for your guidance along this journey.
I will not ask anyone to wish me luck as I know from past experience that quitting any addiction has nothing to do with luck. I ask you to help me be strong, be a man of my word, and to be true to myself.
My name is Jim and I am a quitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
