Title: This is my final, "final" attempt
Post by: Casasanta on July 23, 2013, 03:28:00 PM
I have tried several times to quit but for some odd reason, I am more inspired this time around. The end of the road is finally here and I am done for good. I'm not sure if I just don't have a desire or want to dip anymore, but I am feeling good about my chances.

One quick question and any help would be appreciated: I am trying to find my October 2013 Quit Group. Anyone know where I could find it?

Thanks! Looking forward to speaking with all of you!

If you think there's a chance you'll fail...you'll fail. Addicts can't leave themselves an "out." Post roll so that there's no "out."

If I can do this, you can do this. Here's Oct. 13. Welcome and yell if you need anything.

"Chances are for the birds" or something like that.
Just quit and never look back...then do it again..

I think you should spend some time "exploring" that odd feeling. Maybe write down why you want to quit- you cant kinda-sorta-think you are going to attempt to quit. That is the mentality of a man that wants to fail.

Like Coach Steve says "QUIT LIKE FUCK" think about that shit.

Nice start, joined and posted roll- excellent. Now, get that thinking straightened out. You were not quit any of those other times. You just stopped for a while. If you want to be quit, then just be quit. There is no "trying" or "hoping" around here. We just do it. Every one of us post roll, every day, like you did today, keep our word, and do it again the next day.
You can do this.
Glad to be quit with you. If you need anything PM me.

Oh... I forgot to mention. Read. Read everything on here. Read HOF speeches, anyone's intro thread. Read it all. It helps understanding and craves and life.

I was the most degenerate scum bag dipper in the world. 25 years ....all day every day...1-2 cans a day.

How did I quit you ask? Kill The Can. I simply said, "I will not dip today." I would brush my teeth...go to bed. Wake up and do it again.

I'm day 236 quit.

If I can quit. You can quit.

We're counting on you. Now stopping putting that shit in your mouth! KC--aka Jason

Appreciate all the support! On day 5 and still no chew. The one thing I've noticed is I'm having a hard time sleeping at night. I keep waking up several times in the middle of the night. Any ideas on how long that will last?

I also have a true test today - my brother in law is in a baseball tournament today. Got plenty of gum and seeds to get me through the day!

What a loser, day 5...ha.....I'm on day 6....lol....

Congrats man, we will beat this thing together brother. My sleeping was good on day 1-3 but has been poor since then, looks like it's just part of it. I have found that a Benedryl helps some.

Hang in there!

I'm sure there are a lot of schools of thought on this, but the bottom line is... Can you believe what nicotine has done to you? Your last few postings are great, and you'll be glad you put them on paper in the not too distant future.

Nicotine is going to make going to the ballgame a test. Nicotine is stealing your ability to sleep. Aren't you glad you kicked that bitch out if your life?

The sleep problems are common. Try to take a nap and never forget this. Ever. Thanks for sharing.

My man worktowin is spot on. Your brain is rewiring. While this is taking place sleep is rough. Your brain is now enjoying the oxygen it was suppose to be getting for years. It is now healing and thanking you for letting it do what it's wanted to do for years. The way it thanks you is by keeping you up all night. One other thing you may be having trouble with is paying attention to any one thing. That's part of it to. Enjoy it,, taste it, feel it. It's all part of taking your freedom back.

Things will get better. Quit with you.

...and wake up in the morning, my muscles in my arms and legs would be sore and tight. It was the feeling that I used to get when I would have withdrawals. I am on Day 8 of being Dip Free, and the past two days when I wake up I'm still having these withdrawal symptoms.

I know that it will soon pass, but are these what you call "Dip Dreams?" I've been fighting my cravings and triggers pretty well over the last week, but I'm not sure where these are coming from.

Any words of advice would greatly be appreciated!

Advice - Stay strong. This too, shall pass.

Drink water. Tons of it. Get exercise. Those two things will help circulation and can help with your soreness in the morning.

I'm no doctor, and this is not medical advice, but it helps lots of guys.

Understand and remember that feeling you are having is your body throwing a temper tantrum. It's the nic bitch trying to convince you that you need her. You don't.

Dip dreams - sometimes we will have nightmares that we have slipped and started dipping again. They can be very, very real. Some guys will wake up and think they caved. Be aware of them.

Again, that is just your body trying to figure out any way to get nicotine back in your system. Fight it.

Freedom is worth the fight, my brother. You can do this. If I can, you can.

I'm on day 9 of my quit and one thing I have noticed is my nerve endings coming back to life. My skin tingles a lot, my gums feel achy and sore and just my general comfort level is down while tossing and turning in bed.

I believe the medical term for this odd feeling is called "healing". Embrace it. Not every nic addict is previledged enough, strong enough, to quit and go through this. You are among the few exceptions.

To paradigm and Casasanta, I am on day 35... I have went from felling great to feeling like my legs are 400lbs each. Sleeping has been tossing and turning for the last two weeks. I wake up all the time. I am tired and depressed. the fog goes but then seems to hang around in the afternoon. Despite all this shit it is way better then filling my lip with troll shit. My mind is more clear when the fog is gone then it has been in a long time. When I am not feeling depressed the world seems better in many aspects because I can actually take it all in and not need the nic to assist. The negatives are still there but they are less frequent and decreased in duration. All of the positives are really starting to increase and become more real. Keep battling and stay strong.

Yes it's been a struggle so far today - My head feels like its spinning during meetings at work - One thing I've found to be "therapeutic" has been blasting music on my way to work - it helps me take my mind off of things.

Having a really tough time today - On Day 18 and my mind is racing. Not sure if it's the stressful day at work I've had so far or what but it's driving me nuts.

I KNOW...this will pass, and this is all a part of the growing that I have to overcome when it comes to dealing with triggers.

Stress for me was a huge trigger because I knew that I could always rely on "old faithful" to be there to help.

I will not cave...being as strong as humanly possible to get through this!

Good job posting up. Do you have any quitters on your phone? Reach out to someone. A simple text to a quitter can often take your mind off the stress/craving.

Stand firm, Duck Fip. PM me your number if you need a contact.

Stressful days don't mean shit to you, bro. Hang tough, you can do this.

1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems

It's just that simple.

You got numbers? Reach out and use them.

You don't have numbers? You need to send some PMs RIGHT NOW and get that fixed.

Learn that "old faithful" IS POISON...learn it, hate it, know the enemy and those who promote it.


ODAAT and NAFAR
Post roll... the earlier the better for a strong quit.
Keep your word...even if it means being humble.
Wake and repeat...

Cheers to You and yours.

Hey Casasanta,

Glad you texted me. Did know you were struggling at the time. "Old Faithful" as 30isnuff explained is a crapload of addiction thinking. Nic was faithful alright... Faithful at havin you want her more.. Faithful at takin your money...,Faithful at havin you isolate yourself.. Faithful at bringin you closer to cancer.. Faithful at being a wise ass con-artist.. Screw that weed brutha... The weed actually makes your stress worse and that is scientific. It increases your anxiety.. Look it up dude and don't let the weed lie to you anymore. Stay strong and keep texting if you need too! QUACK! QUACK!

Casa,
Knuckle down, gut it out this time. You're on Day 1, you KNOW what lies ahead in the next few days. You've gone through the SUCK before, you can do it again. Don't do it just to throw it away. Sign that contract and keep it with you. Get some phone #s, make some online/text/phone contacts. Tell your family/friends that you QUIT. FOR TODAY and for every today. Hold yourself accountable. Post roll, no nic, repeat daily. Exercise, load up on H2O, arm yourself with gum, fake dip, seeds, whatever you need.
Bunch of bad ass quitters in May...welcome aboard!

Whoa there horsy...

You know the deal. You cave in October of 2013 and thus owe your old group and your new group some answers first.

1 - what happened?
2 - why did it happen?
3 - what are you going to do differently?

I attempted to quit last August and failed miserably - picked up the nasty habit and told myself I was going to quit Jan. 1, 2014. I have done better, but I have had the occasional chew every few days and then I'm back to square 1.

Today is my dad's birthday, and I am making the commitment to myself and him that I am done for good. I have been able to pick up on some stuff that has helped me so far this year, like only chewing gum when I'm having a craving, and drinking a SHIT TON of water all the time.

Any support, tips, or good stories are greatly appreciated!

Good questions! Here's what I can say:

1. I went away for business, and a small craving popped up. I didn't have any alternatives with me so I started drinking a coke (mistake). Shoulda gone to water. I caved, found a store, and bought a cant.
2. It happened because I didn't have the balls to admit I had a problem - I just went back to my original way of dealing with things which was by chewing.
3. What I am going to do differently this time around is to keep my wife more informed - she was unaware the last time I slipped up, but we are both on the same page now. I am also going to use new resources, such as extended family and other things that will help me take my mind off of my substance abuse.
Casanta,
Thank you for responding to the questions. My advice this time would be to use that network of accountability (phone, text, chat) and remain quit.

I travel a lot for work too, but as you now know keep the tools with you at all times.

Look in your inbox for a PM with my number in it, I will be happy to be one of your accountability martyrs.

I've seen people lose wives and jobs. I've seen people lose important people in their lives and remain quit. I've seen just about everything you can think of and remain quit. Your telling me that while on a business trip you had a coke and that caused you to cave. What kinda bull crap answer is that?.?.

This tells me your heart is not in it. Next time the coke gets a little hard for you I got some real intros for you to check out. Some real quitters that made up their minds and are still quit like fu**. They used determination, drive, accountability and the information on this site.  A COKE,, really, you can do better.

I say really a coke made you cave...hmmm Sounds pretty weak you are also a spell past 1 JAN14. We do or do not there is no try. It appears you have been mentioned in another intro all I have to say if he is your corner you are gonna have to want it. That dude is a solid quitter he wont take an excuse like coke either will we. You want to quit you have to quit for you no one else. keep posting plus ones.

Casa -- You were a stone's throw from 60 straight days of 100% roll posting and disappeared. What's the story, man? Your track record doesn't inspire confidence in the possible explanations for going offline. Based on the thread, it seems you've got at least a couple of #s from solid quitters in your inbox...really hope you just lost your phone and had zero access to a computer for the past few days...

Inquiring minds want to know...(please don't tell me a diet coke kicked your ass again)
Casa -- You were a stone's throw from 60 straight days of 100% roll posting and disappeared. What's the story, man? Your track record doesn't inspire confidence in the possible explanations for going offline. Based on the thread, it seems you've got at least a couple of #s from solid quitters in your inbox...really hope you just lost your phone and had zero access to a computer for the past few days...
I got a tip for you: Don't be a pussy ass caver this time! Get your shit together and stay quit. Work the program.

I attempted to quit last August and failed miserably - picked up the nasty habit and told myself I was going to quit Jan. 1, 2014. I have done better, but I have had the occasional chew every few days and then I'm back to square 1.

Today is my dad's birthday, and I am making the commitment to myself and him that I am done for good. I have been able to pick up on some stuff that has helped me so far this year, like only chewing gum when I'm having a craving, and drinking a SHIT TON of water all the time.

Any support, tips, or good stories are greatly appreciated!

I sure as he'll hope this is speculation...I know for a fact that you have at least one 24/7 quit hotline number and text. I was the first from October to question you and offer my hand to you, it's still here no matter the case but I hope that you:
A. Lost internet and your cell service was cut
B. You fell into a hole not a cave
C. You have been abducted by aliens
D. Your wife left you chain to the bed and you haven't even returned to work

However, if none of these excuses fit then please let me know your quit is either solid or needs to be "re-aligned"

I will be sitting on the edge of my seat until you text me back.

Oh sorry. I thought you caved. I misread the post. Glad you're okay. No more going MIA unless you're dead or in a coma.

Casa had an emergency appendectomy and infection over the weekend. No cave here, way to stay strong, brother. Sorry I ever doubted you. Quit with you EDD!

Quick update for all Casasanta is OK and his quit is in good shape. He had appendix problems at work that caused him to be rushed to the hospital, where he spent a couple days recovering from everything. He is still quit, his link to the Pinched hotline was left at his office while he was at the hospital.

He posted roll today and will be back tomorrow, so May help me help him.

Casasanta, let's do this shit; I have told you before and I do again, I am right here when you need me.

Great to hear Casasanta is OK, on all counts. We're here for you, bro -- sending you a PM with another number in the off-chance that the Pinched hotline is down at any time. Thanks to Pinched for the updates, as well as keeping the hotline open.
