All,
For those who have seen my initial post, I regret to inform you that I caved tonight. A good firend of mine who uses dipping pouches talked me into having one tonight. So the 8 days of hell that I just went through is about to start back up tomorrow.
I am sorry that I have to give this bad news to all of you, and I am truly embarassed in front of such a strong group of people that have put this crap down for good no matter what the circumstance.
It was a tough week for me, no matter what I said or did, in my own mind I just couldn't get the right outcome. I keep thinking that I left people that I work with doubts in the person I really am. I am not a person that can not learn from mistakes. I am not a person that can not take criticism when I know it is the best thing for me. I've been there in my life, I always feel like I have something to prove to someone, but really the only person that I have to prove something to is myself.
I am down now, but when I wake tomorrow it will be a new day and I will use it to defeat these deadly toxins.
I thank you for your support and day one starts again today.
God bless.
Guy
Why did you make that choice? Your friend did not talk you into this; you made a choice.
Do you realize what you're playing with here? This shit is more addictive than heroin I am told. It causes a whole host of problems, and it permanently rewires your mind. Having just one starts the whole cycle over again - be it day 8, day 80, or day 800. You just pissed away eight hard earned days.
Grand. Just grand. Get motivated, get mad, get the hell away from your "friend", and get with the program.
The process here is real simple, and I think it is fail safe.
1. Make a promise for today not to dip and post it in rollcall.
2. Find some people in the June group and get their numbers. Make a commitment to talk to someone live before "someone else talks you into just one."
3. Make a plan, or a set of consequences that will occur if you really cave.
Basically, make it impossible for you to cave by putting your integrity online and being accountable to someone.
Reading shit like this does not make it any easier on us who are fighting like hell to stay quit, day by day or minute by minute. That's why you're getting a hostile reaction because you "friend talked you into a dip". This place is dead serious about quitting and accountability. Do or do not - there is no try.
Are you with us? If you are, toss your can, go to the June quit group, and post day one in rollcall, and read everything you can on this site to figure out how to successfully quit AND use the FREE tools available to you.
