It has now been 3 days of constant thoughts about dip. I have no idea what to do. I feel sick and mentally drained. I know I made a promise today but I do not
Know how much further beyond today I can do this. I know a dip will not help and it will be back to being a slave. I also know however that one dip may give me the ten minutes of
Mental normalcy I have been searching for for three days and beyond. I know the things I am saying sound "trollish" and blasphemous, but I don't know what to do. I feel hopeless and pissed off and tired. I'm out.
Bro keep it up. Fuck tobacco it won't do shit for you but this.. http://www.tobacco-facts.info/images_ht ... neck-2.htm
Hey sixer. Get on the phone and call your brothers. Text, talk, whatever you have to do. One thing for sure tho, you better find a way to believe you are better than addiction or the bitch will own you for a long time. You are worth more brother
Just, posted this for mcgregor. Good post for you as well. These days will not last forever. The new you will be one bad dude. The new you will not be :( . The new you will be proud of what he's accomplished. The new you will get through a day without giving the poison a second thought. This is well worth it. You got my word on that.
Right now you are making your way to a door. This door is hard to get to and open. Settle in, keep your head pointed forward and make your way to the door. You will get there one day at a time and you will love what's on the other side. Keep your chin up and :( will turn to :D .
Beautiful day to be free my friend. If you made it 3 you can damn sure make it 4. I recommend a steak and ice cream on this fine Saturday evening.
Sixer, if you need to go get some fake, fireballs or whatever you need. There is 1000's here that have done this and your no different. You keep that word bro. I don't care how bad it gets for i don't care how long. You keep that word. This is the frame of mind you need.
Start reading everything you can on addiction/nicotine. Lot of information on this site. Time to begin building that arsenal with knowledge and accountability. How bad do you want this? No more talk of cave. YOU TOOK CAVE OFF THE TABLE WHEN YOU POSTED ROLL! KEEP YOUR WORD!
Hey Sixer, you've come to far to crack now. You keep your head down and plow through this. I'm quitting with you today. You have my number.
One day at a time Sixer. One day at a time.
Yesterday is over. Tomorrow we can't control. But today you are winning. What you are experiencing, unfortunately, is part of the fight. Remember "no pain no gain?" Well, you've experienced quite a bit of pain as a result of the addiction since you quit. The memories of the bullshit you have experienced should fuel some hatred and build resolve that you'll never have to relive this.
If some weak ass like me ( or mogul haha ) can make it one day at a time, you sure as hell can.
If I can help let me know. You've got some bad asses cheering you on. Don't try to do this alone, brother. There is no need for that.
Like worktowin said. ODAAT. The past 3 days dont really mean crap. Just today bro.
I am glad that these others are encouraging you, and each and every one is giving sound advice.
Let me be the prick. You started with me, maybe 10 days behind if I remember right. I had days like you early on. hell, I had at least a week straight. You know what? I posted 1174 this morning. You posted 40? bro, at some point you need to stop letting the bitch run your life. Recognize that this is a funk, they happen to all of us, and it will pass. Do whatever it takes to get past this - fake, yard work, candy, lots of water, exercise, etc. Do it now - stop dwelling on what you think you are missing or what you think tobacco/nicotine will do "for" you and realize what it has done to you. You would trade a few seconds of the mirage of mental normalcy for a potentially life threatening disease? Think about how fucking stupid that is. You want to poison yourself into "feeling better." Fact is you need to wake the fuck up, find out where you put your balls, and decide you want this freedom.
Your brain is physically rewiring, but you need to do the mental work to change your thinking if you want to be free. You know what I did after I posted this morning? Did yard work, had a soccer meeting for the 9 "pre-k" kids I will try and mold into a soccer team this spring, and then went shopping for yard stuff. All of these things would have been a trigger 1100 days ago. You know how many times I "wanted" a dip or even thought about it? none. You need to change your mindset. Are all the words you have typed in this intro hollow, or do you mean it?
You are glamorizing what you think dip can do for you. Spend some time reading the facts about what it did, and will continue to do, to you. Cancer, blood pressure, loss of taste, dependency on a poison to feel "normal" due to fucked up brain chemistry, not to mention the money pissed away.
Thousands have been where you are and failed because they didnt do the mental part. Nicotine will not just let you go. Its an addiction, not a habit you can just drop. You have to fight. You better get pissed off, but not at your lack of having a dip. Get pissed at what this bullshit has done to you. It enslaved you. it runs your life so much that 40 days free and you still think you need it feel normal.
The ball is in your court sixer - at some point, you WILL quit. Whether you do it now, by choice or when they are removing your tongue, jaw, or larynx is up to you. Just remember, as shitty as the last 3 days have been day 1 was even shittier. Now imagine day 1 plus chemo and massive surgery to remove major portions of your face and neck.
Are you mad yet? Have you fucking decided to man up and push through yet? oh, and this:
