1. Why did you cave?
IÂ’ll just tell the story.
I was on my way back from Central Michigan University after an interview for their medical school. I was on day 234. I all of a sudden had an insanely bad crave for a chaw, and at that moment I subconsciously knew the nic-bitch had beat me. I had had intense craves before but this one was different. I spent the next probably 30 minutes arguing with myself and eventually my weak ass broke and I went into a gas station and bought a tin.
2. Why is this time different?
Before that last quit my longest quit had been for 11 days. I had never before dealt with the craves that I had experienced in the first. I now know what is coming and I am better prepared to beat the nic-bitch.
While my mind was fully invested in KTC my last quit, my actions did not follow through, and I think that is what lead to my cave. I know better now.
Plus I am done with this shit. I am sick of worrying if every little oddity in my mouth or feeling in my throat and stomach are cancer. I’m sick of going through countless fucking steps to hide my addiction from my loved ones. I’m sick of not enjoying anything in life, because all I care about is getting that next dip. But most of all, I’m sick of the way this shit makes me feel. When I was using chew, I felt as though I had the ‘fog’ 24/7, and it is fucking miserable, absolutely miserable. Chewing is not worth this shit, period.
3. What have you done to protect against another cave?
I was one of those secret chewers who hid it from my girlfriend, parents, sibling etc. I have made sure to let them know every single method I used to pull off my secret chaws. I have printed off and signed the quit contract (did not last time), and making damn sure I post roll EVERY DAMN DAY. I have also made promises to my best friend and girlfriend to call them to talk me through a crave and prevent me from caving. I plan on making similar promises to several of the members here. If anyone wants to be one of those shoot me a pm, and I will be extremely grateful.
