Tomorrows Monday; Quitting again

[Sacksyboy]

Damn.

Nicotine is such a horrible thing. It tricks you, particularly when you are young, into believing that you need it. Then the addiction takes hold. You don't need it, but quitting is hard. When you are young, it is so easy to fall into... I'll just have one after thanksgiving dinner... Then buy a new can... Then go out in your truck to a friends and play video games...dip at their house... And the whole cycle repeats.

It is so easy to get scared and go to the dentist in a flurry of panic only to get good news and say FUCK YEAH and buy just one can to celebrate. Ginet lines this scenario out perfectly.

It is easy to feel anxious and believe that nicotine helps/heals this. It doesn't. It can't. It won't. Nicotine creates anxiety. Try running out and going from store to store late at night looking for your brand. Or frantically hiding you cans/spitters from a new girlfriend. Try waking up with a big swollen gland in your neck.

I've seen a couple of young guys come on and post YouTube videos about their quit journey. I call it bravado. Both had a series of caves... But you know, I get it.

See, 1,175 days ago I quit. I joined Ktc and I went all in with the site. I exchanged phone numbers. I posted roll as soon as my eyes open. And by God I kept my word to my brothers. Now, for 9,000 days before that (that's 25 years, Brandon) I told myself daily that I was gonna quit today. Threw out thousands of unempty cans. Bought a new one the next day. But no more!

My parents spent thousands on braces for me. My dad died of a heart attack at 52 which I'm certain nicotine helped cause. My grandpa died of colon cancer which tobacco caused. I've had giant swollen glands in my neck. I've wasted 45,000 dollars. I've lied to myself and my family/friends about my addiction.

But... I will not lie to the KTC community. These guys/gals are like you and me. If you don't wanna quit, don't quit. It is hard. No question. It isn't as hard as taking chemo or losing a jaw. But it is hard. And if you aren't ready for the journey, stop fucking around and don't take the journey. Keep buying cans and spitting in your Dasani bottle. But don't waste your time on here until you really mean it. It is frustrating and pointless.

I just hope that you make the decision earlier than my dad. Or my grandpa. Or me.

Pure ass truth. Good gosh I'm jacked up right now. Feel like I could lift a freakin car. hahah

Folks like worktowin are what make this site so special. So helpful.

Proud to quit with you today, Worktowin.

Sincerely,

Proud Stupid Forum Addict

Ehh, not weak. That website is fucked yo in so many ways. All they're trying to do there is replace your nicotine addiction with being addicted to the forum. Quitting the cab is all about being free, but that website is far from being free. It is a great tool, I love some people there, but most of them are dickheads. I shouldn't have to post everyday first thing in the morning that I won't use nicotine. It's stupid. It should be more about helping people quit, questions and answers. Simply having someone post their name and what day they're on everyday for the rest of their life isn't how you quit. It does no good, it's simply replacing one addiction with another. With that being said, you're weak. You had to replace your addiction as where I can live free without having people jumping down my throat with one missed post or whatever bullshit. So with that being said, fuck off and enjoy your newly acquired addiction, dick head.

^^^ That was Brandon's response to someone on his youtube channel.

He does not know the first thing about addiction and recovery. He has no idea how many people have benefited from a program like this or a 12 step program. He is clueless and is wanting attention. He wants people on his side so he doesn't feel so bad about caving. If it is so easy to quit then his first time quitting should have been his last. To call us week is a pathetic gesture at compensating for his attitude and his true lack of righteousness. The inability to to grasp this concept is a total lack of acceptance of whom he is. Furthermore, his reaction is the same reaction you get from all addicts who failed at there attempt to quit. Blame the counselor, the 12 step program, blame there mom, blame the judge, the cops....whomever. It is about others and not their failure. I know this for a fact. This is stereotypical addict blaming behavior. Any viewing of his channel is considered a win for him. just like as a counselor if I was to listen to why an addict failed so many times before they came through my door or I visited them in a jailhouse. listening to them validates how they feel no matter what I say after listening to them. Addict behavior.

The really odd part to me was that in the video he talked so highly about the site. Then when that one studly looking hunk guy asked him why he didn't post role he went polar opposite.

At least cope mint is in Ohio now. He had been waiting 2 years for that shit.

Good point Diesel. At least he's happy.

Is he 12 cause my teenager has more sound logic then that. if he is an adult by age only, then before he tries to quit Dip, he might want to visit the psych center and get his meds adjusted and regulated first.

Sad. Just sad. Watch the videos and you'll understand.

Unfortunately, I think almost all of us were that 18 year old kid once. We can stop any time. We will just finish this can. OK, this roll. Hey, buddy, I'm out can I just have a pinch? Yeah, it might cause cancer, but fuck man I'm just 18. It only kills old guys. Makes me tough. I look better in my truck (OK, in my case my little car) with this shit in my lip. I gotta have it to play baseball. It makes me play my video games better...

Brandon can't come up with one reason (aka excuse) that I and the others posting on this train wreck of a thread haven't already come up with. It sucks that he is going down the same stupid road all of us went down, but hey... somebody's gotta pay for all of those private jets that Altria  UST have. They don't run on food stamps, folks.

Worktowin 1,185 (and if typing that makes me a stupid forum addict - I'm good with that)

[Forgoodthistime]

This is unfortunate. With your line of thinking Brandon you won't quit. I can guarantee you everyone on this site had the same thoughts you are having. While I don't agree with all the words being used. I do agree with the sentiment being transmitted. You will not quit until you man up and just do it. I always said I dipped for a year and quit for twelve. It wasn't until I decide to make a commitment to myself, to God, and ton this site that I actually made the quit real. There will always be a tomorrow when you put off quitting.

[granger829]

You are a drama queen Brandon. You think none of us have bad days? You think we just danced through the fog like it was a parade? You do not actually WANT to quit. If you WANTED to quit you would have kept your word to us and stayed quit for more than 24 hours. I can completely believe that you caved 3 times in less than a week.

You want stress? I'm 24 years old, have to have back surgery next week and got denied for disability coverage because my back was a pre-existing condition. I'll be off work with no pay and we will have to make it through a month or two with just my wife's pay. I'm not trying to one up you or anything but the point that I am trying to make is everyone here has stress in their life. Everyone here could give you 99 reasons that they should pack can and lip... but the real badasses can give you 100 reasons why they shouldn't.

I hope you'll quit because the longer you go without quitting, the harder quitting will get. Nut up or shut up, quit or stop wasting people's time.

Checked out his March 16 video. Had to kind of laugh, as it contains all the same bullshit addict excuses we all used for years/decades. At the same time, it is sad, because it reminded me of how those excuses dictated my every action for 2.5 decades. Here is a review of the video:

-my gums are f'd up so I had to put it in my upper lip (spit in red solo cup)
-I've waited 2 years for this Copenhagen mint to come out to Ohio (spit in red solo cup)
-I always knew the day would come when I would have to quit (spit in red solo cup)
-I bought a log of this mint but only opened this can,I'll just finish this can (spit in red solo cup)
-I might finish the log and then quit...

That was when I stopped watching the train wreck. And that is what this story is. I can say that, Diesel can say that... Because both of us lived our own versions of this train wreck. Brandon won't quit until he wants to quit. Nicotine has its hooks in him bad.

Probably waiting until Monday. You know, start the week off right.

I realize the power this shit has over you. TRUST ME, I know!!!

Just don't come on here talking all big and bad and not following through on ANYTHING you say.

The cocky talk with empty promises hasn't worked. How about you try a humble, one day at a time approach?

Any doosh can talk big and bad but a real man backs it up. Its obvious we aren't dealing with a man here. We are dealing with a scared little boy.

He now says this site is stupid because all your doing is trading your addiction to nicotine for an addiction to this site
Also, none of us will ever be free because we'll always be addicted to this site.

Pretty sound logic...

I hope he realizes just how fucking stupid that statement is. Just goes to show he doesn't even know what an addiction is. I have fought a losing battle with this shit for 30 years. This is the ONLY way I can keep that bitch off my back, not because I am addicted to the site (I feel stupid even repeating that dumb statement) but because you guys hold me accountable. It's sad but I hope one day, before its too late, he'll figure out his error and come back. Until that day I ain't gonna 'bang head' over some candy ass pussy who can't even sack up to show up.

So, we are at the point where we decide to quit giving him what he wants and that is attention in any form her can get it OR stop right here. His behaviour is no different than other Borderline Personality Disorder people I have met and treated. BPD and Histrionic Personality Disorder are the attention seekers. Mountains out of Mole Hill people. They seek drama and attention. Me. I am done.

I really can't see how a competent human being could write such dribble. Maybe someone that was Borderline Personality Disorder or Histrionic Personality Disorder.

So, if you are a really serious about quitting then answer the three questions until everyone is satisfied with them.

Also, if you are sincere why do you think all these other people are giving you the metaphorical jabbing you are getting.

If you aren't serious now, come back when you are.
