quiting for good.

yep you read that correct. I was killing it and doing well, I didnt know I would get cravings like day 1 2 years in. well they came and kicked my butt. Now after chewing again for 9 months I want to stop for good, forever.

Well,
We can help you quit One Day At A Time (ODAAT).  We don't do forever here, that's too far away and frankly beyond our comprehension.  We do daily really well here though.  Quit for today, worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. 

Yes, those cravings can kick your ass.  Had you of had the support of KTC at that time, I bet you wouldn't have caved.  You would have picked up the phone and called one of us and we would of talked you through it.  But still, 2+ years on your own is pretty bad ass, it's unfortunate it ended the way it did.

But you found us, so something in your world is going right.

I have been chewing 2cans of poison a day for the last 16 years and I finally had enough and quit for good, or so I thought. I through away 2 years and 3 months of hard work and dedication over the lies in my head. I decided last Wednesday that I was going to do quit again, for me this time.  Its been very hard and very frustrating with work and my family, I have 4 kids under 5 years old and I find my self yelling and erupting at them for being kids. Then the wife yells at me for being so pissy. All this just adds to that voice in my head that lies to me and tells me im a better dad when im chewing and a better husband. Im funnier and easier to be around. I almost believe that voice every single day. Im struggling guys. I want to be free of anything thats taken control of my life, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine. Ive gotten alcohol out, that was easy but caffeine and nicotine are a different animal. sorry for the ramblings, I dont have anyone to talk to about this. My wife, bless her heart has never had any addiction problems so its hard for her to understand.

Hey Ryan,

I sent you a message a minute ago.  GO post roll like I said and then you can come in here and be "pissy" with us.  We can take it.  Don't take it out on your family. 

From what I gather from your intro, You chewed for quite a while, then it looks like you stopped for a little over 2 years on your own and then caved and now you are actually ready to quit.  Did I read all that right?

You are in the right place my friend.  All the support you can handle is at your fingertips.  There is a section in the main site for spousal support, you might have your wife read it and also both of you read about what to expect when quitting so you both know what kinds of withdrawals and mood swings are coming your way.

Ask questions, read, read, read, rage all you want in here.  We are here for you.

Quit on brother
