Title: Quit Day
Post by: Steve616161 on March 01, 2016, 12:09:00 PM
Well had this planned out for about two weeks now and the day has finally came. Today is day 1 of quitting and it seems to be dragging on and on and on. Doesn't help that i am at work, I would much rather be at home where I can relax watch a movie nap or play some xbox. Have been dipping for about 6 years about half a can a day or little less. Time to 'Remshot' dip and stop. Seems like a great group to join on here!

Welcome! We only quit for today, so you should be able to do that, right? Tomorrow's another day. Don't think about tomorrow.

The only trick to this (quitting) is to make a promise, first thing in the morning, to abstain from nicotine today. We do that here by "posting roll". Video here (https://youtu.be/RmDgTPJ6HyM).

You are in the June 2016 group. Find it and post roll. If you have any questions, just ask.

Nice job posting roll, Steve. That's the most complicated thing you gotta do. That and not whimping out on a promise for one day. Let's do it again tomorrow, eh?

Good to have you Steve.

Like the others have said, quit today. Stay quit today, all day.

Tomorrow, post roll first thing. Promise to stay quit. Keep your promise.

Repeat the same process every day. Weekends, birthdays, holidays, wedding days. Every day as soon as you can.

That's the best recipe for success in your quit.

Congrats on the quit. Just quit for 24 hours and then when tomorrow comes, do it again. You can do this.

Welcome, Steve. Stay strong and keep your quit going, one day at a time.

If I can do it, and all these other guys can do it too, so can you!

Had a minor slip up early Sunday. Did a bar crawl with my friends from home and ended with a little chew in there after midnight. Had it in there for five minutes until I realized how shitty it tasted and took it out. Even though it was only for five minutes, five minutes is five minutes. I am posting my roll for Monday as day 1. So pissed at myself that I am not at day 7 like I was suppose to be. Instead I am back at day one with no one to blame but myself. Lesson learned though next couple of weekend take it slow avoid drinking and don't cave because its a shitty feeling. Sorry brothers i'm back at day one though I quit today with you all.

Minor slip up!?!

That's some weak shit man.
Seriously. Weak. Shit.

You don't get to go back and test the waters to make sure you still wanna quit. Wtf? You bitched out... fast. This place isn't a "try and try again" method. One and done and no playing around. Man up... it's your life on the line.

The way this works is this...
1... What happened?
2... Why did it happen?
3... What are you gonna do to keep it from happening again?

Dig deep and let's hear some real answers. If you can't come up with any other than the crap you just posted... you don't belong here.

I posted it in my last post of why it happened and how im going to keep it from happening again. i know this isn't a try and try again method hence why I came here in the first place. Way to drunk with my friends there was chew there and drunk me grabbed a quick chew and realized what a stupid move that was and took it out within five minutes. In order to prevent that from happening again I'm going to be staying away from going out and getting obliterated like I did.

You had to know going into a bar-crawl that you'd be drinking a lot. You either gotta be strong enough or avoid alcohol for a while. I suggest avoid alcohol for a while. Even that 5 minutes let the nicotine course through your blood. Shame you're back at day 1 when you could have had a week under your belt. I'm only at 3 weeks so I'm pretty new at this myself but I gotta say I feel no remorse for you. I have had shitty days, I have had cravings I thought would never end but I fought them head on. I made it through the dense fog that was days 1-4.

You HAVE to want this for yourself. If you don't then you will never succeed. That '5 minute dip' you had was not a minor slip up. It was a major mistake that makes you look like a weakling that couldn't keep the 24 hour promise that people around here expect.

There is no excuse for caving.

You're a little fucking late to the game to keep reaming him AppleJack. He took shit from the whole site all day. I don't think he's giving up but he'll probably go to a different support site instead of here.

I hate to see folks cave - "it was just 5 minutes" - I seem to see that one all the time. Is just 5 minutes different than 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour? Caving is caving. Caving is breaking your promise.

People who are ready to quit will actually quit and they can get support here on their rough days to keep them quit. If you know that going out and getting drunk might lead to a cave then don't go out and get drunk. Quitting needs to be important. It needs to be the one thing that you vow to do every morning.

Bro... do you really expect us to give an addict a pass on using?

It absolutely can't work that way. The process of becoming an enlightened addict is painful as hell, man. We all have to go through it though. Each person HAS to own the Quit and be willing to do whatever it takes to stay that way. You are, aren't you? I read good stuff from you and I feel that you will wrap your head around this. I expect that from everyone. This guy caved and he's treating it like a casual "oops". We can't afford leniency with our addiction. Ever. Quit has to be hardcore and a cave needs dissected so that we can all learn from it, stay on guard, and be strengthened. If he chooses to leave, well, he wasn't ready to be here anyway...

Oh Granger......so do love to hear those words come out of your mouth....you quit for you and you alone....everything else is bonus material.
So to you Mr. Steve.....tell me more about this five minutes of what you call slippage....did you think of anyone here that reached out to you? Did you think about how you made a promise and then broke it? How long did you enjoy that pinch between you finger, and then in your lip, as the rush of nicotine filled your veins before you decided to say FIVE MINUTES was all. Come on man. Sack up. Everyone knows you sucked the juice out of that shit until it was fucking wasted. Give me a break. Addicts know bullshit addict speak when they hear it. You packed that can and grabbed a thick pinch and fucking filled your gums with it....enjoyed it.....and said fuck you to everyone in here.

Thanks for making my quit stronger today. I don't want to ever be you. FU Nicotine.
Lady G Day 800 - because I never forgot day 1.
