Popular Post Roger Posted May 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2020 Somehow I had written down May 19 as my day 100 here on QD, but looking at my posting history, I joined on day 842 and today is 942 so here we go... I never wrote a speech at the other place. As I have already documented well, I'm a pretty quiet guy and writing a speech seemed uncomfortable and weird. I also didn't feel 100% comfortable in my quit shoes yet and we just had a bunch of drama in the quit group I was in so I could simply just slide under the radar... Not here to dwell on the past so lets fast forward 842 days... First of all thank you QD for providing a new home. It's taken me a while but I'm "warming up" and feel a whole lot more at ease sharing online and being part of the community and have made it a personal goal to continue to do so. Posting on scroll to means a ton to me. In addition to being a promise, it's a daily reminder to myself that I reached for the bullshit can every day when I woke up. Now I post instead. At this point in my quit journey I can't say I have any huge cravings regularly but I do occasionally give dip more attention that it deserves and that daily promise quickly squashes any of that weakness. About to celebrate my 45th birthday and 3rd birthday without dip. For anyone new reading this, I wish to hell I had manned up and made the decision to quit a lot sooner. I was the loser that dipped in front of my kids, dipped in front of their friends, dipped in front of the teams I coached, etc. Told myself it was perfectly normal. Now I walk into the Little League bathrooms (well before Covid) and see a used dip in the pisser and wonder WTF. Wish I could take it all back, but all I can do is hopefully stop the "next me" from doing it. No matter where in life you are the time to quit is NOW! Not later... Covid: Well a ton of opinions here, but I'm pretty damn happy I'm not running around stockpiling dip during supply chain disruptions. We lived in Houston when Hurricane Harvey hit and I spent a week or two in the aftermath stopping at every fuckin gas station I drove by to see if they had my preferred choice of poison. Yeah, another total loser move. I'm incredibly happy to not have this addiction control my behaviors and definition of what's normal anymore. Never again! Proud to quit with all of QD!
