It was very tempting to cut myself some slack and keep rollin'...
Dougie, B-lo Matt, CBird, jrizzle, derk40, duathman, mkez, srans, jungleland, and billybil, and everyone else that is quittin' like a badass: I'm sorry.
This sucks to write because I know that this is a no nicoitine, no nonsense site. I had some nicotine on July 10th, and again on July 12th. I am now fully deserving of the GTFO requests and i will oblige.
I'm not going to just disappear without explanation.
July 10th:What happened? I was at a overnight work event in Chicago and it's always a huge party. The beer was flowing and my former "smoking buddy" kept trying to get me to have a heater. He put a cigarette in front and a lighter in front of my face. I lit it up and took a couple of drags. He was flappin his gums but all I was thinking about was my quit. The cigarette snuffed itself out when it was still nearly whole, sitting between my fingers at my side.
Why did it happen? I don't know. All I wanted that night was a f'ing smoke. Not a chew, but a smoke. It was being pushed on me again and again and again and I finally took a couple of drags.
What are you going to do different this time? I don't know. I'm really surprised that I had a couple of drags. i've been posting roll and contributing and owning this quit. I'm horribly disappointed in my weakness.
July 12th: What Happened? I've been burning the candle at both ends and last Friday night was a great example. Long story short a couple of my college buddies came over for a cookout and some beers. They're both smokers. Having already caved on the 10th I was quick to cave again and bummed a few drags.
Why did it happen? i had a caver's mentality: "I caved on Wednesday night, fuck it."
What are you going to do differnt this time? See above.
What happens now? I don't know, but we'll find out. I considered rejoining under a different user name (Minny wasn't exactly a cool name anyway) and starting from scratch, but that's not my style. I'm a candid an honest person and just want to be quit.
