Quitting dip comes down to one thing... adecisionto quit. I can't spell it out any simpler than that. Sure, it's much easier for me to say that today now that I've quit than it would have been on day 1 or day 10, but every day that goes by, I believe it more and more.
I'm not here to tell you that thedecisionis easy to make because it's certainly not. There are some days when thedecisionis downright nearly impossible to make. But it's adecisionthat needs to be made no a daily basis.
There are many things in our lives and in our quits that we have no control over. We can't control the weather, we can't control how people view us, we can't control what happens at the office, we can't control whether we are sick. In our quits, we can't control the withdrawal that we go through, we can't control WHAT symptoms we'll experience nor can we control how long those symptoms persist.
To look at it that way doesn't look good. But remember... thedecision.
You can DECIDE to put a dip in.
You can DECIDE to NOT put a dip in.
You can DECIDE whether you want to continue to be a slave to the can.
You can DECIDE to LIVE your life WITHOUT dip.
I've had conversations with other quitters and cavers. I've been asked what makes me different (than someone who's struggling). The answer is simple... I made mydecision. I'm not any stronger, I'm not any better and quite frankly I'm not any different. I'm an addict just like all of you... I made mydecision. I made mydecisionthis morning just like I have every morning since July 24th, 2006. I'll make adecisiontomorrow as well.
When you're thinking that quitting isn't possible... when you're thinking that everything is out of your control and you NEED your dip... make adecision.
You're in a place where people can help you once you're made yourdecisionbut we can't make it for you. We're here to help.
DECIDEto let us help.
DECIDEto not dip today.

This thing is simple -- it'sdecisiontime my friend...
