I quit today. Again.
I made a profile on this forum last year (around January 1, go figure!). I had about 3 weeks left of NRT, and wasn't willing to commit to daily roll call, so I left. After the NRT was done, I stayed quit. For 200 days, just to show you guys that I could do it all by myself. I didn't need this community; I'm a Lone Wolf.
Then day 201 came, and I got cocky. I showed my buddies at work how my addiction was broken, so I threw in a lipper to show that I was strong enough not to get re-addicted. I did the same thing on day 204, and again on day 205. Then I bought a tin to replace what I bummed from my buddy, and bought another for myself, just in case. And I opened it about 25 minutes later.
I was an idiot. I was to the point where I thought about nic the same way I think about that bitch ex-girlfriend that was fun at the time, but celebrated the day I kicked her to the curb. I was such an idiot that I hooked up with her again, to remember how fun it was when we were together for all those years. I did it as a big "F*** you!" to the world, and had nobody in my life to tell me it was a bad idea.
Here I sit again, just like that day in January 2014. The bitch will still course through my veins for several more hours, until my liver metabolizes it out. I move to a new city tomorrow, and start a new job. I can't use my home, workplace, or co-workers as "trigger" excuses anymore.
I'm eating healthy, and jacking steel almost every day. Let that metabolism slow down; I need the calories to help the muscle growth. My wife is about no support whatsoever, so I got Rosie Palms and WiFi to keep my spirits up every day (that support group will start after I hit 100 days in this one). I'm spending more time with my kids because I won't need to run off and hide to have a quickie with the raging bitch. My musical songwriting will have an air of pain and despair, to vent my inner struggles with addiction.
I come to you now humbled. This time, I'm doing it with brothers. Looks like I joined this quit group on the last day. Not my intent; the timing was coincidental, and I don't want to wait 2 days for the next one to start. I quit today with all of you, my brothers. Hold me accountable, and I will do the same for you. I'll share whatever little tips I find help me get through the day, and I want you to do the same.
My apologies up front to my future Quit Group: It's going to take me a few days to get internet at my new place, and then figure out Roll Call; living on the West Coast is doing me no favors. I'm going to be calling/texting one of you every day for a few days until I get it all sorted out on my phone. I'm not the brightest of guys, so there are bound to be errors.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
