Title: Day 5 Tired of being a slave
Post by: Leroy212 on November 29, 2020, 09:54:53 PM
I am not here by accident. Two weeks ago I realized that my habit may have given me cancer at the age of 40. A week ago I had biopsies and scans done and am still awaiting the results. I am on day 5 but thats the longest its been in 21 years.

I have three beautiful daughters....permit my employees to use in front of me and endanger their lives but say nothing. I am an addict who looks like a crackhead when he runs out of snuff at midnight. I am on day 5 and it feels like its gonna be a long road.

You have found the right place to quit if you want to quit. It will be hard but it is so worth it. Look for Quit groups,  March 2021 will be your group. Jump in and post roll which is your promise to not use for the next 24 hours. We quit one day at a time here and worry about tomorrow when tomorrow becomes today. Reach out, make connections by sharing your number with other quitters, but only through the private messages function.  You've made a great decision, I quit with you today

Damn, man. Even after almost 8 years quit... I can feel this like it was me who wrote it!

To be crystal clear... even though you called yourself an addict in your 2nd paragraph you also wrote, “... I realize that my habit may have given me cancer...”

Let’s give it the weight it deserves... this scenario in your life is playing out because of the addiction you’ve let control you. Don’t get me wrong, bro... I’m not being nitpicky to be an ass. Once your tests come back negative (and I hope like damn they do come back negative!) and the fear that’s riding you subsides... front and center in your mind needs to be this fact... you’re an addict and your addiction is nicotine.

So, that being said... you can do this. If I/we can... you can. Own this. Get involved here and STAY involved here. Find your quit group and get this quit rolling with some real momentum.

You got this.

AJ... 2,785 days of freedom.

Like AJ said, we all hope and pray your tests come back negative and when they do, make sure you don't do like some others and head back to the can because they beat the odds this time.  Stick with that quit and make it a permanent life change so you can be there for your daughters as long as possible.

@brackettz12@gmail.com (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18823) Hag is correct man. Either you let the demon get you or your results came back the way you wanted. One day they might not and you don't need that crap to escalate the issue. Its tough to quit as I know but its better then the alternatives.

Suggest you make posting roll first thing your daily routine. Anything other than that is a status update, not a promise. Wake up, piss, post and protect your quit for the day. It’s the formula that works.
