Hello everyone,
Today is day one for me. I dipped for about 4 years after having smoked cigs for 9 years before that....So a total of 13 years of nicotine use. There were times during my cig period that I dipped as well, it wasn't completely new to me after I "quit" smoking.
Well, here I am after getting busted by my wife for about the 5th time. I'm sick of the lies and sneaking around. I'm sick of my wife not trusting anything that comes out of my mouth. Now, I've already heard from several of you that this quit has to be selfish and I assure you that I'm doing this for me, my wife, and my 2 year old son. It is for all of us but most importantly for myself. I'm sick of being a slave to nicotine and the time has come for this abusive relationship to end. Recently I started eating right and exercising, and have dropped 23 pounds since February. This quit is the next evolution in some big life/lifestyle changes.
Ok, lets lighten the mood a little bit. No, I'm not from Missouri. My screen name is a random, obscure, reference to a Phish song. Yes, I'm a Phish nerd and have seen them many, many times pretty much all over the country. I love all kinds of music and love talking about/exploring new music. I live in New Hampshire. I'm an avid mountain biker and generally love the outdoors.
Cheers
Another Ninja Dipper! I know all too well. If your wife didn't care about nicotine, would you give it up?
Rhetorical Question so you can be honest inside. If this is because you are tired of dissapointing your wife and you are sick of the shame you feel...Not good enough. You just have to be sick of nicotine and want to quit because you are angry that a plant has control over your actions.
Welcome I have been free from nicotine for 769 days today. You will see cycles and patterns here. Hopefully you are in this to quit for good. If you are you have to post roll everytime you wake and its, "Today". Tomorrow doesn't matter until you win and stay quit today. Yesterday is over and tomorrow is a wish but Today you are alive and post roll to be accountable to make it through today.
You must be honest, be a man of your word. You posting roll is your vow and promise to your quit group and all KTC brothers that you will not smoke, chew, dip, nicotine. It will not be in your lungs, in your mouth, up your ass. You will not chew nicotine gum, wear a nicotine patch and not one shinny penny will be spent on nicotine today and every today you wake.
Repeat, Repeat and Repeat. If you think you don't have to post roll daily or you can alter this plan, your quit is in danger. Follow the laws of KTC and be obedient. You will quit for good if you jump in and stay close to the site. Rage here, cry here, testify here and just read and read some more here. This site knows too well the battle you just declared.
Have you posted roll today in your group?
