I'm Bob from Tennessee.
I have quit many,many times in the 36 years I have dipped. I have been through all different
ways and I really think this time I can make it happen! I'm in my 5th day and have really appreciated the support so far. You guys have a good thing going and I want y'all to be proud of me when I make the 100 day mark!
I started back when I was around 20 years old. I was traveling with my buddies,racing motorcycles all over the country and driving 20+ hours nonstop to CA from TN . We dipped to keep from falling asleep. I just never stopped dipping . I teach Sunday school boys and chew them out for dipping. I can just tell the ones who dip ( a dipper can always tell ) . I'm lying to them and it's time to come clean ! With all of you guys help,I can do it. I just need to make sure I am posting roll call right....
Welcome Bob from TN. I just picked my son up in Nashville. Man, I love that place. He went to an audio engineering school in Franklin. If I was required to leave the rocky mountains and move...I would pick Nashville.
Anyway glad you are quit. You are an addict. As such your mind operates differently.
Sometimes in good ways but to keep it short, you must accept that your mind will not grasp the concept of being quit forever.
Reality, you can quit forever but you addicted mind tricks you into thinking you will have to have a dip sometime.
Resolution? You trick your mind back. You post roll, keep your word and stay quit every "today". Tomorrow will be here soon enough but your quit yesterday is over and tomorrow may not happen but today, and every day its today, you quit!
You are not here by chance. You were brought here to learn how to deal with your nicotine addiction and quit for good.
Welcome and make it past today. If you wake tomorrow, post roll and repeat. Its good treatment.
