I was just given my first real opportunity to cave. I was offered a pinch of the NB while out with some buddies who all chew. My exact words were "Psssssshhh." Alright so I'm no linguist, but I stuck it to her again tonight. Jz - 6, NB - 0. cowboy NB

Hey bro...you got this...I can tell by your intro...

But the Bitch is going to haunt you forever. Right now, you are operating on pure adrenaline and your pure joy of the first 5 days of your quit.

The first week is easy..........yeah the fog sucks ass big time......but the first 5 days your guard is up

Just wait until Day 34 when you are over confident and you find a can stashed somewhere in a weak moment....or you are at a wedding and everyone is having cigars and you have had a few.

The 2 most common caves? the spite cave and the anxiety cave....beware of both.....because they are the nastiest

I am at day 795 and that Bitch will still come try to tease me...PM me if you need another life line....

You are killing it brother!

Do you have a plan for your first weekend of quit? Do the bad asses in your quit group have a plan? Make sure you have #s and that you use them before you ever think of caving. PM me if you need another #.

Just keep quit ODAAT and +1ing. It gets so much better...

Day 5. Made it through my first drive in traffic, my first deposition, and my second drive in traffic since I'm quit. Didn't even really think about it. In fact, despite my favorite deceptive thought for using dip (it calmed me down), I was so calm today on the road. I had the windows down, throwback jams pumping through the speakers, and out for an easy ride. Usually I'd be swerving in and out of traffic, trying to buy an extra 10 seconds out of the day while almost wrecking about six different times. Today I lived the dream. Nic free and lovin' it.
Throw on the first big fight with the Mrs. since the quit. Still quit. I'd be a can and a half in a week ago without batting an eye. 'Finger' NB 'Finger'

Still quit and quitting like a BAMF.

Tomorrow WILL be a better day and I'll be quit X 6. BOOM baby.

Take a good look at someone using (chewing, smoking, whatever) around you. Watch them carefully. That was you and me my friend. Shaky, nervous, thinking we needed to get somewhere for whatever. Keep it up,,, you have no idea where this is headed. Quit with you today.

P.s I really need to get me a pink tie.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Keep focusing on one day at a time I Quit, and you'll do just fine. Reach out to some folks here, and feel free to shoot me a PM if you need another number.

Well I made it today. It was a struggle tonight as I got my first big tester. I've had many "day 4s" in the past and when the going got tough, I would tell myself, oh well, I'll REALLY quit next week. Or I'll just get this one can to get me through the next couple days at work. Or, I need one this weeked, the Mrs. is out of town.

I've had every excuse come up and I would say 88% of the time I listened. Today, I did not. Part of me (okay in all honesty, a bigger part of me than I would like to admit) wanted to go pinch a big nasty smelly carcinogenic clump of worm dirt and stuff it. The bigger part of me finally got the better of that other part. It would have been much easier to give up than stick with it. Tomorrow though I would have had to answer to LOOT, the Sultans and all you other crummy bastards that stalk our group. I didn't cave, so stalk this 'Finger' .

I beat you again today NB. What else you got?

Tough sled right now. I'm all fired about this bball tourney tonight and it's the first time in my quit that I've felt the "celebration crave" and not the nic crave. I'm anxious and excited and I always used to dip before for these to calm the nerves and spike the BP so I'd be all amped up.

I know that sounds like I'm glorifying it a little, and in my addict mind I guess I am, but I know that this part of the battle. I made my promise to myself and to the Sultans today that I wouldn't cave, and I won't. The next hour or so is going to be the hardest yet. I'm quit and I've got KTC to thank. Not today because I have TMTLF.
Nothing to it. Prepare yourself for such moments. I went to the 2013 Iron Bowl with a bammer dipping friend. I knew the situation after the thuga game. Seeds, gum, bourbon, Chris Davis I was ready for the next crave. Bring it on bitch

The NB definitely paid me a visit tonight. The Mrs. went to bed early, and I flipped on a baseball game like I always do when she goes to bed early. Lo and behold, I found myself with an itch that I couldn't quite scratch, telling me just one won't hurt ya, you can't get cancer from just one.

NB there's no such thing as just one for me any more. There used to be before you took control of my impulses. Today is day 3 in taking that back. One might not kill me, but I'm not willing to take that risk any more. In the words of my new buddy RobFulton1: I have TMTLF (too much to live for). You no longer run my shit, and as much as "just one" nagged at me tonight, I beat you. If only for tonight, I won. Since June 1st, I'm 3-0. While the record is perfect, the experience has been far from it, but I'm winning, and more importantly, you're losing. You're losing the invisible grip that held me for far too long, kept me from my kids, and kept me from my wife. Not any more nic bitch. Today I won. Good luck tomorrow, but I will warn you: you're gonna need a helluva lot more than that.

That man made millions, then filed for bankruptcy. You need a better role model; may I suggest someone else ?
