Definitely stick with it. Let me clarify something for both of you though. IT WILL NOT ALWAYS SUCK. IT WILL GET AWESOME.

Stay focused. One day at a time.
Exactly what Claws said. In the beginning it was the hope that things would stop sucking someday that got me thru the rough times. If I had thought it would always suck I never could have quit. It does get AWESOME.

I also posted this in March preHOF...let me know your true, deep down thoughts.

I'm Real foggy and angry today. While I'm sitting here staring at this computer screen for hours and hours on end, my mind continues to play tricks on me. What if I knew I was going to die in a couple of months, would I hop into my truck and pick up tin right now? Seriously, what if I get diagnosed with a brain tumor that cannot be cured or slowed down. I have maximum 3 months to live....

Today, right now, I might think about it long and hard before picking up a tin. However, 96 hrs ago, you bet your ass I'd be at the 7/11 already. Something is happening, or maybe its the fog, but I hate that old nic bitch as each minute passes.

If I knew I were going to die soon, I wouldn't want to give that bitch any more of my time. Now trying heroin or cocaine in this scenario is definitely worth some thought...
Switch heroin to Asian and cocaine to hooker, that makes more sense. Keep powering along bro, it gets easier ... and so much better. Keep reaching for the freedom, it's there for your taking!
Don't switch at all, keep all four things, but STAY QUIT

Sounds like you're asking yourself under what conditions dipping/caving would be acceptable. Keep this question in mind as you read through all the quit on here, you'll know the answer all by yourself from within in no time.

The scenario I described in March (caver is granted honorary quit in the moment of death because he sacrificed himself saving a baby's life) does not apply to your question, except to add a general Don't Cave flavor.

Keep it going! The harder it is now, the bigger the victory. The addiction is leading you to scenarios to look for weaknesses in your resolve. The way to beat that is keep stacking up little victories- day by day, hour by hour, or even minute by minute if necessary.

Keep learning all you can about the addiction by reading all you can - even others' intros. And start building a network of fellow quitters for your own support and accountability. That will make all the difference in the world over the long haul.

I'm glad I came across your intro here and am quitting with you today CO.

You came to the right place. Post roll and quit. It's really easy to take your freedom back if you dive in and drink the kool aid.

I dove in 378 days ago. Fuck that I did a canon ball. Now I'm quit like fuck.

If you need a number pm me. If not me start reaching out to the quitters in your month. They will get you through the suck.

Quit on bro

That's some strong quit medicine in your intro CO- - I don't know how long you have been using but use this to fuel your quit. I, like alot of others here, have dipped for 3 decades or longer and using the KTC method, flat out works. Proud to quit with you.

So sorry about Dom... too many have been taken from us by tobacco... My belated condolences, friend.

Nicotine can only own you if you give your permission. Deny it permission one day at a time.

Post roll

honor that promise

repeat.

you can do this.

Sorry about your buddy Dom and his family. I read what you wrote and clicked on both links to Doms before and after. You can be sure that people have been strengthened by what you have brought here to the KTC table. I know you are struggling a day 2 but it's a 2 way street. You are glad to be here and we are glad you are here.

This time will be different than the other times you stopped dipping. This time you have people in the trenches with you at all times. Just find people you have something in common with and get people's numbers. Trust me, it may sound funny (I thought so at first) but it works. Everything that the good people at KTC put together for us addicts works.

Just read as much as you can on here. Read all the Words of Wisdom. All that stuff makes sense to us as we read it. We all have the same basic story. I pray that you can have the strength to get through the rest of the weekend. You will feel better by this time next week for sure. Again, welcome to KTC and thanks for sharing your story with us. Your story has strengthened many quits already.

I am truly sorry for the loss of your friend. I am glad you realize you are an addict, because that was a hurdle I had a hard time coming to grips with. Knowing you are an addict, posting roll, and never stuffing worm shit in your mouth again makes you a quitter today. PM for a number if you want, I remember Day 2 and 3 like it was yesterday.

Thanks fellas...I'm day 2 now. The fog is real dense. Thank you for reaching out and posting, taking the time and offering advice. Today I am quit. I'll worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

For anyone interested, check out the photos of "Dom". http://friendsofdominic.tripod.com/

Now, see what the dip did to him:

When the urge has been hitting me all morning long, I've been thinking of these photos. I'm sharing this with the group b/c I hope someone else out there battling the nic bitch needs a little reinforcement. Dom is looking down with approval. His heart was a big and always willing to help.
