Stupid Can

[LSUTiger]

One goal, one day at a time. Keep going strong brother.

[Krazystu]

The steps I will take so I will not cave are as follows...I'm taking everything one day at a time...even one minute at a time...one deep breathe at a time...I'm waiting for the fog to clear...I'm trying to embrace the new lifestyle instead of being scared of it. My mind gets cluttered with trying to hypothectially put myself in spots where I might be offered Nic and I try and think of every possible scenario I need to put myself in to succeed and beat the tough urges. I am keeping my self away from Cstores and other places that sell the shit for awhile. Just pay at the pump. Whatever it takes to keep it out of me. I like SD comment about looking at a family picture before you cave. I will pull out my phone before i put that shit in my face and check out a few pictures of my family. Anything to get the crave to past. I'm going to keep posting roll, reading stories from other peoples post. I try and jump in the chat room a couple times a day. Read everything I can. I just read an old post from Loot that said PMA (Postive Mental Attitude) I'm going to have the best attitude I can towards this. If there are any other suggestions I am all ears for the help. Anything I can add to my plan i will embrace. I'm happy to be quit.

I beleive I failed because I didn't have a plan in place.

So when can we expect to see your plan to keep the shit out of your face? And Yes we expect to see it, just to make sure this isn't going to be another half-assed bullshit fake quit since we don't roll that way.

I didn't understand the seriousness of this fight against this shitty addiction.

Do ya think you have the gravity of the situation figured out yet? Do you really have the balls to do this? We will see by your plan.

Razd and claws are right.

This is a very serious situation. Nicotine is the most addictive drug, and quitting is not easy. But it is something that should be done to keep from moving into an early grave.

We have been passing along an education of this to you. You are here looking for the help. So this is the time that is really needed to look into the mirror and examine yourself. To dig down deep inside and ask "Do I really want to quit"

If the response to that is Yes, the proceed to educate yourself with the big 3 questions that we ask every time someone caves and that is:

(1) What happened? - for this what was the scenario that you were in? buy it at the store? bum off a friend? Something to think about so you can stay away from this in the future

(2) Why did you let it happen? - for this was there any triggers? think you could not do something without it? Again another step in the thought process to keep in mind for the future.

then
(3) What will you do to keep it from happening again? - this is the main part, the plan moving forward. This is that list that you keep in your pocket, at your desk that you refer to when ever a crave gets a little too instense. Go ahead and list out the steps you will take before ever taking another pinch of crap again. Items like posting roll, texting and calling brothers for permission, looking at a family picture and thinking how they would feel if you were not there. these are items that have been on most of our plans.

the next step is yours. I will quit with you today. Ask me tomorrow and I will most likely say the same and will stand by you. But this is the time to analyze yourself and buckle down.

I don't know what angle to come at this from. To answer the three questions you ask here we go.

What Happened and Why did it Happen

I was in the live chat about a week ago and was talking with SD and Marcelous(not sure if thats right.) I had been chewing and knew I wanted to quit. I had the classic addict thinking already in place with thinking that I have to chew for the Super Bowl. There is always that next date you look ahead to say "Shit, I'll just chew until the Vikings end there season, or something stupid like that. But, they talked me into flushing my tin which I did and then I posted roll. Hell, it took me 1 hour to post roll. I didn't know what I was doing. Had no idea how to get around the site yet(i'm still working on that but can post roll on my phone now). I didn't even know the importance of my actions and the ACCOUNTIBILITY I was held to. Like i said in my response earlier. What's one more fake quit. That's the addict thinking that was going through me at that time. I'm not looking to piss anyone off by saying that because I think the addict in all of us can relate to that. I'm learning the importance of my actions have on other memebers.

What will I do differnet this time?

I beleive I failed because I didn't have a plan in place. I didn't understand the seriousness of this fight against this shitty addiction. I've been trying to go into chat when I can. I've had some good talk and encouragment in there. I've been trying to reach out to some of the new people in our May group that are just starting to quit one day at a time with me. That thinking has helped me a lot early on. Just say no in the moment and you will get through the day. I'm trying to read some of the veterans posts to see what the road holds and what I can use in my own quit. I'm learning a little everyday about how bad I want this and so many others do also. I'm here to quit WITH you. I don't wanna divide our May group up into sides. I didn't join to be a laughing stalk, fucking joker, or asshole. But sometimes you deserve what you get and I do the way I made a mockery of my begininng. I'm here to quit and learn and meet some people for support along the way. This is truly the fight for my life, no more games.

Life or death. Don't fuck it up.

Kstu,
Thanks for manning up and owning your earlier, and last, cave. All of us learn from each other's failures and successes. I quit with you all damn day!
Fuckin' A, bubba!

I'm not sure what this JLewis guy has against Krazystu and I don't know Krazystu either but just dropping a turd off in someone's intro thread and saying "Posting just so its here" seems pretty 'cs' unless you've done some research.

I did some research and all of you can too by looking in the May 2014 HOF list on 2/4. The snippet that Jlewis and AJ both referred to was pulled from Krazystu answering the three questions. He is 4 days in to his quit now based on roll call and probably has enough other issues and probably doesn't need my defense but I just can't abide turd dropping, it feels like we're back in 8th grade.

Quitting with you guys today, act like adults.

Krazystu, you have posted multiple day ones. Your brothers in this group are fighting everyday to keep clean and you keep caving and starting over.

You have some explaining to do

1 - What *keeps* Happening
2 - Why does it Happen
3 - What are you doing differently this time

I have had so many other fake quits, I guess I figured whats a couple more. The first few days I signed roll was the straight addict in me. It had already told myself that the Super Bowl was going to be the cutoff. Why does it matter to these guys if i slip a few days. They are doing this for themselves probably more so than anything anyway. I got a post from Loot ripping my apart for caving. So i looked into his profile and saw some of the exchanges he has had with other KTC members and started to realize everyone in the group truly wants to kill this disease. So knowing these other guys are going through the same thing as me, im trying to embrace the quit with them, learn with them. It feels like this is the first time ive truly be ready to fight for this. I'm trying to take things as slow as possible. Read as much information and stories from the people who have walked it. At the same time my bad start has me trying to earn back the trust and respect of everyone but especially my May group who are just starting out. I can say with truth that I quit with you today and be happy and know that this is the biggest fight Ive been in my life.

So is this another stretch of fake quits, maybe a st. patty fatty will be your last? I'm probably not in the best position to talk here, as I'm on day 3. Its been hard as hell. There is an addict in me, and I've had to fight like hell to push back.

I've had so many random messages of encouragement and wisdom on my intro post, as well as random people in boxing me all kinds of support.

How is it possible that you think people don't care? That you could just give your word and admit knowing you were going to break it? What is your word worth to us now?

Sorry but this really pisses me off.

Posting just so it's here.

Doing good Stu.... Keep it up!

[SAM83]

Stu, saw you're name posting in another thread.  This is good.  But,…promise yourself that you're not some chump who talks the talk but can't walk the walk. 

Keep reading, keep sharing, keep posting roll.  Stay involved and stay accountable to yourself and your May brothers/sisters.  When you post your name on roll, that promise is the single most important thing you do for that day.  No more day 1's.  This will get easier, I promise.

Read everything you can about nicotine/addiction. Lot of information on this site. Knowledge is power. Learn your enemy it knows you.

Caving is off the table. You have removed that option. You can do this. 1000's before you have done it, no reason you can't. You want your freedom, you got to take it. The poison don't just give it back.

Get through today, your most important priority. Keep your word. If today gets to hard get through the next minute. Don't worry about tomorrow, there is only today. Quit with you today.

You got this, no options but quit! Get through the fog and the suck one day at a time. It adds up and gets better.

Right now i see a lot of disbelief. Make believers out of us by posting your damn word and keeping it. End of story.

[LifeAfterDip]

What the fuck is going on with these people. Either quit or stay the fuck off the site.
