Stressed out Mom and Quitting

[Dave1903]

Aarrghhh! Whoever said lay off the booze was right! Feeling nicely buzzed and I can't believe how many times I am thinking of chew, literally every 5 minutes. Thank goodness for "Jalapeno Hot Salsa Jumbo Sunflower Seeds". Without them I'd be a sucker with my hubs' wintergreen Grizzly RIGHT ON THE COUNTER. I did hide it under my hat, but I know it's there.
I am looking forward to tomorrow evening when I don't have to deal with alcohol-induced cravings.

welcome back! I ran down and saw a few familiar names in your intro. one of the lasts posts here was a conversation that souli and nolaq were part of. They are still here, they are still quit. listen to dave, make a few friends, it helps. those guys have a ton of friends here, perhaps that's why they stuck around.

Stop lurking and post roll. Quitting isn't easy but you're making it a lot harder on yourself. Post Roll. Make that promise. Take nicotine off the table.

Oh, pull that can out from under the hat, dump it in the terlit, then shit on it. Don't flush either. Let hubby find it. If he's going be a stupid user he should hide it from you.

You got right evil she needs take every can he has and dump them then shit on them

As a vet of KTC, even a fallen vet, you know how this works. Get your name on roll today and everyday otherwise you are wasting your time.

I think it is great that you are praying to be quit. That is fine, but YOU are the only one that can do it. Post roll, honor your word and get back into the KTC game. Lay off the booze is my other recommendation. Everyone craves when they drink and you do dumb things when you drink. So, why do it right now... Lay off it and get quit.

Do or Do Not! There is no try.
you need to get here. Stay here. Live here. Quit here until you leave this earth.
NAFAR. ODAAT period.

I am putting my quit on here so it feels more official.
I was on here a couple years ago when I quit initially, I stayed quit for a long then for some stupid reason thought I could have one, mm-hmm...
Then I wanted one whenever I drank beer, then I decided I'd just have one during the day.
Working up to having a few pinches every other day.  I told myself it wasn't much, but then I found a white smooth circular patch on the side of my tongue, that's my worst nightmare and one I think of everyday.
I made an appt. with my dentist and waiting that three hours was hell. I literally thought I just discovered a death sentence. The stuff that went through my head were things Id never thought of. They say people diagnosed with oral cancer usually only live 5 years. 5 years? I'd be 34, my kids would be 15, 8, and 7. Watching their Mother die? I was thinking where would my beloved horse go? How would my husband manage working? Who would take care of my kids?Would I surviv but lose my whole face?

On the way to the dentist I started crying in my car and asked Jesus to save me, I told him if he got me through this, I promised never to chew again.
It seemed so STUPID, that I could have cancer, caused by no-one but myself.
Why? Why in the world would I flirt with DEATH just to get that buzz?
Never again.

The dentist said it is most likely not cancerous. She said it looks like a spot where my molar is too sharp and has been rubbing. But she said with my history of chewing she will take pictures and measurements and have a follow-up.
Seriously the world has never been so beautiful as on the drive home!!

So, last night I have a few beers and the urge is so, so strong and can you believe I thought about caving?? After all that? Un-frickin-believable.
But I didn't, I just thought of that promise to God, and how guilty I would be.

So my last chew was 11:30 pm on November 21st.

Glad your back Chewife.

If you were posting roll with a quit group previously you'll need to take some personal inventory and answer these 3 questions.

1. What happened?
2. Why did it happen?
3. What will you do different this time?

Jesus can't save you if you choose to keep putting poison in your face.... that's just my thoughts. Get over and post roll with your new group and quit today!

Glad to have you back chewife. I think we have all flirted with the idea of " just one more chew." It is important to always remember first and foremost we are addicts, and " one more" is not in our vocabularies. Don't worry about "never again" just worry about today. Tell yourself "today, I will not have any nictotone." If you can do that once a day you will be in good shape.

I'm having a hard time with the complacency towards putting on weight. We have all shown some tremendous will and determination to stop using. We have made a decision that our lives and our bodies are important. Making the decision to adopt a healthy life style with a balanced diet and regular exercise is diametrically opposed to the decision to ingest poison everyday. If you want to do everything you can to quit and protect your quit, I would urge you to go "above and beyond" what you think you are capable of. Will you fail at exercise? Sure. I fail all the time. I set my goal just out of my reach everyday because that's how you make change.

You are now empowered by your mental strength of quit. Act on it. Use its power to make you who you want to be. I don't mean to preach but this is something I am very passionate about and is a corner stone of the foundation of my quit. Be the person you want to be.

I'm not showing complacency, all I'm saying is, at Day 19 or Day 25...don't freak out about it.

For me personally, I needed to got solid in my quit before I could tackle other things like exercise, diet, etc.

If you get too stressed about the 'side effects' of quitting, you may start to challenge yourself on the necessity of quitting. In an early quit, doubt can lead to weakness...and then failure.

Quit today.

Worry about tomorrow.....well....tomorrow.

WERD! 'archer'

I would say we're after the same thing: protect your quit, no matter what.
