I'm not physically as addicted as I once was, I am back where I started all along

wait, what??

Dude... YOU ARE ADDICTED TO NICOTINE forever and ever you and I are addicted to nicotine. Get that into your brain, then get your butt into your quit group and answer some questions!!

[Swilson]

Well guys I post this in regret. I got comfortable staying quit without the site, and the past two weeks or so, I've caved and taken about 5 or 6 dips. Though I'm not physically as addicted as I once was, I am back where I started all along. I can't even remember how long I was quit. Almost four months. I have decided to get back on the board again. I have to commit fully. I am also giving up drinking too, I know I will only benefit.

Hey Gottadoit I see you snuck in here really quickly posted a day 1 and took off.

You were on here long enough to know that you have some explaining to do. I did want to leave the original quit post you made just for your own reflection of how you ended up back here at day 1.

So without further adieu:

Question 1 - What Happened
Question 2 - Why did it Happen
Question 3 - What will you do differently this time to make sure this is really your LAST Quit
Question 4 - Do you want to quit - for real ?
Question 4a. WHY

Today marks the first day of total sobriety

You're right the accountability factor is so important. I am going to the dentist later today, got a cavity.

Heck yeah bro you are right. Sorry to you all I missed roll the past THREE DAYS! Been so freakin' busy had to end up workin on the car tonight and dealing with things at work. Yesterday there came a moment on my lunch break where I went home. In that moment, for whatever, reason I was hit with the most intense urge yet. Taking a dip felt so right. I resisted and resisted it until I couldn't handle it no more. My brother's can was right there in front of me. I got up and walked out of the house and just went back to work.

You know what's really awesome once you finally decide to quit? No matter how much you are tempted you do not ever cave because you KNOW deep down that it will always end with regret. Maybe not in that moment, maybe not an hour later, (sometimes it does) but you will regret it once you wake up the next morning.

By the time I arrived to work it was still on my mind. Two hours passed at work and it was over. I was so glad I made the decision to not do it. Or didn't make the decision to do it! Whichever way you like to say it!

I'm sorry that I've missed roll so bad lately. I will begin to post daily again. It is a cardinal sin for me to miss roll. Thankfully I did not cave and I can truthfully and honestly say that!

I am glad to hear that you didn't cave and I am glad to hear that you are going to recommit to posting roll. However, I would also say that your story highlights something lacking in your quit. When faced with that moment, you should have had brothers on here that you could have texted or called to say you were struggling. This fight can feel very lonely at times and you really need the support of people who understand what you are going through in the long run. This is coming from someone who quit for over a year on KTC operating basically how you are. I eventually caved because I didn't have any accountability and I thought I was cured and that I could smoke a few cigs and it wouldn't be a big deal. That opened the door and I was right back to dipping within a few months. I am just trying to tell you that you need to do more than posting roll daily if you really want to take your quit seriously. You need to build some relationships. My number is in your PM box.

Expect to crave reject the cave I really like that.

Man I tell you what. I really don't understand how the psychological urge can stick with you for so long after quitting. It's mind boggling to some extent. It's been weeks since I was even feeling the physical fog in my head from quitting dip. I kid you not I felt some sort of fog feeling today just from thinking of dip. I never would have thought something could be so addicting. I must sail on. We must sail on always. No matter what, no matter how hard it gets. No matter how dull it seems. We must keep going. The past two weeks have been so hard because the enthusiasm of my quit is gone. When you first start you are deadset and headstrong. You are passionate about the quit. As time goes by, even though you are still quit, and have been wanting to quit for a while, you start to lose passion for the quit. You lose the luster, the shine that made you feel so good after you went 15 days. I'm saying you but I really mean I this whole time.

Anyways, just a thought. Hang in there yall. If anyone's thinking about a dip message me first.

That feeling is EXTREMELY common. The adrenaline has worn off and it's become a slog.

This is where milestones can come in handy. Focus on the Zeros, the Fives, the Even Weeks. You'll realize that you are hitting a new milestone just about every day - and the truth is you are.

Eventually, this doldrums period fades away into a much more manageable normalcy. Can't say when it happens, but I'll tell you that you will eventually level out. It will be worth it, just keep fighting.

You've come to the right place to quit.

If I can finish today without a dip then that in itself is a victory. I have confidence that I will succeed. I know I will.

You will.
As will I.
We're quitters, remember? I'm all in.

Day 33 no dip - In the heat of the moment I am faced with a decision of great but nerve racking significance. The whole thing honestly was not something I could say I expected. And it came almost subliminally to me. It was as if my subconscious was somehow trying to find the right justification, just the right reason to give in and cave. Giving in, (or at least the idea of giving) seemed so natural in that temporal state of desire and justification...

Well, needless to say I was really wanting a dip today! - very much unlike any other time since I went out from dipping Copenhagen.

I was thinking too much about everything...


solved :

Get out of your head, go and get busy instead.
