Thanks for the welcome, all you people who have reclaimed your clean white teeth..

I'm on a quit plan for that 26TH date and have my own personal coach (Angelic who I already have a crush on)..I'm on this mini-quit thingy and down to 1 dip a day since 9/20...It seems to be working, so far..My son is on the same deal and is quit for 21 days after 30 years on the can..He'll be calling me too to see if I ditched it..



Thanks for the support...

Hey, glad you posted.

Q: Why have so many responded to you?
A: Because we are a group of drug addicts that get it. You by the way, are clearly a drug addict. I will quit on [insert date here]. The problem is that you made this statement in a room full of drug addicts and we can smell bullshit from a mile away.

Q: Hey guys, now many of us have promised to quit in the future?
A: Ok, EVERYONE, you can ALL put your hands down.

I know what this is about. Hell I have done it. Gonna cram that last weekend of drug use in before the quit. Weekend nirvana. Your pie whole is full of that shit right now. The problem is Monday comes and so does another excuse.

You know you are hooked. Quit. quit now. You will be so relieved mentally. Saying, I am Skyhook and I quit is hard. Damn it is a relief though. You think you have support now? Wait till you post up?

Seriously? You have two pages of nothing but folks lining up to support you. I certainly don't want to disparage another forum, but I doubt you will find a support/accountability system better than the one here.

You're certainly welcome to post here as well.

HOLD ON ONE DAMN SECOND CAPTAIN HOOK.

Give us a try. You can't buy the support we offer. You won't find the accountability system and the clear and unforgiving path to success that lives within this site. If you want to quit, that's what we do here. Nothing else. We don't plan. We don't "hope" and we certainly don't "try"....we quit. I suggest you give this a shot and learn the power that comes with this. It will change your life man.

Holy crap in a bucket. What the flying fucktards does this all mean? Are you kidding me? Where's the determination? Where's the "can do" attitude? Where are the BALLS? Its takes only a single dip...one...to start the chain reaction of cancer. Now wouldn't that be a kick in the purse (the place where your balls reside) if one of these dips gave you the big "C" before the 26th? Addict addict addict addict.

Do you want to live? Ask yourself that question. When you wake up tomorrow look in the mirror and say these words "Do you want to live or die today"? Get that answer and let me know. You want to live, I'll fight with you every fucking day to get this done. So will every other addict on this site. But this ridiculous pussified attitude is disgusting. You're an addict. Accept that term and the burden that goes with it. Then dive in and swim like your fucking life depends on it because it does.

You want to live, come back and see me. Otherwise, don't take up any of my time and the time of these fine folks with your bullshit plan and crusty old silk panties of a backbone.

Souliman...I like the way you talk brother. Just straight up..no bullshit...like it is. Quit...or die. I was talking to my copilot today who is a dipper...I told him about this site. I told him about my planned quit that Iditched and quit on the spot because of this site and the realization that every single dip I put in my face was EXACTLY the literal equivalent of dropping a round in spinning the cylinder and pointing at my own head and pulling the trigger...all day long to the tune of a can a day.

Guys like you on this site are what brought me to that realization.

Thank you for speaking the unabashed truth.

Really....thank you!

I'm not one to knock other folks....BUT....

What would you say to a loved one, child wife, brother, sister, etc., etc., etc, who was struggling with addiction and told you something so completely retarded as:

"I'm only shooting up on the weekends."

Really?

Come on....if you don't want to quit, half measures are kinda silly when it comes to an addict.

Pogue that's what it all boils down to bro...at least in my book. Do I love my kids? Do I love my wife? Do I want to be disfigured? Do I hate being owned? Do I have free will? What about my blood pressure? Can I do this for my dad?

No. It all boils down to a very simple question: do I want to live or die? All those other questions are the first step in the logic train that ends with "what do I want". For me, when I look in the mirror and I see that guy looking back at me, I finally realize he's got a place of meaning in this world. All the things he does, all the people he touches...are important. Making the conscious decision to kill myself with poison everyday is just not right. Not right at all.

The craziest thing is after a few days when that nasty fucking drug is out of your veins, your rational mind comprehends this so easily...perhaps too easily....which is where I am at. I have cravings but nothing my mind does not recognize as an irrational addiction craving. Nothing a toothpick can't fight off.

What sucks is that rational mind now beating itself up for years and years of abjectly stupid choices and behavior. In my particular case so stupid that I willingly chose to jump off an eight year wagon thinking I was safe from the demon. Now my rational mind has to wrestle with real and legitimate fear that I did not come to my senses in time.

It's not the cravings I fear or that keep me up at night. It is my own clear intellect that dwells on the fear and self-recrimination for being so fucking retarded.

Gotta be strong I guess. Being quit and scared is WAY better than not being quit.

Thanks to you guys and KTC.

As always...thank you.
