I did make an intro back then not sure what I'm needing to do exactly..
I assume you posted in your new quit group and also posted the 3 questions in your new and old group.

I am a second KTC person as well, you will take your lumps but if you own it and prove you have it, everyone will support you.

Post roll, and don't miss a day!

Did you make an intro back then? A mod will need to merge them.

At least you came back and concur this is a proven method of quitting. Post roll every day and don't look back.

Yet another caver...

Who's gonna pat him on the ass and give him a thumbs up for "trying" again?...

A couple years ago, I had attempted to quit nicotine.. I ended up leaving the site and I well ended up failing(bone head move.) It got easy quitting and well one day a couple years ago I decided a pinch wouldn't hurt. Then well after that pinch I ended up having another.. This lasted for the next couple years. I am here today, wanting off this stuff. I decided today was the day I was off of it.. I threw everything that I had away.. I just want to be done with this for good.

Sparta - the anger is a big issue for some of us including me. You are going to have to learn how to manage your anger. You cannot let it build up. Eventually, you will put yourself into a position that you can't defend. You become so angry for so long that you rationalize that you were a much nicer person, easier to live with, not such a gigantic ass when you dipped.

That is a mind screw that your addiction has created. It is like anything else you have to learn. I have stepped up exercise to deal with these emotions. I will also go for a walk. I have turned football games off. I couldn't watch some of the debate. Eventually, I will be fine, but I am just learning how to operate in a nicotine free environment. Keep tabs on yourself. Vent on this site. These folks are pretty tough.

Whatever you do, don't let your addiction get the upper hand. You were not better before. You were not nicer before. You are a much better you without your addiction.

Quit with you each day.

Thank guys once again for the support that was a very interesting story, hahaha, i dont see myself doing that anytime in my near future, but if i get to that point in the middle of the night ill keep it in mind ;), but day 3, this is actually my first actual attempt in quitting dip, i wouldnt really call it an attempt, as for i havent failed so far, today was more so, i dont know, the fog tends to be dissappearing, i was really pissed off at some stupid thing today i know that much, but it went away pretty quick. tomorrow will be day 4, the past 3 days have givin me some serious hell, like the lack of sleep is the really thing bugging me. and my irritbility i need to somehow control that.. Thanks for everyone that comes on here it really helps :)
Just make sure you are using the correct terminology in your log. It may seem trivial but the subconscious does not process that way. A couple examples:

"this is actually my first actual ATTEMPT in quitting dip..."
This translates to a cave. There is no attempt, only a quit, and they damn sure aren't numbered.

"as I haven't failed so far"
Again, passive aggressive negative speak. This is processed by the mind as a failure is imminent, date has yet to be determined. Take it one fucking day at a time, post roll, keep your word, and honor your integrity.

Be cautious with your words and entries. You are going to need to look back on this when the quit gets tough. You want your log to be strong and resilient to a weak ass life of addiction. You want yourself and others to come here for inspiration and wisdom when all is not well. You want to prove to yourself that you are quit, not trying.

Food for thought, QLAFM
