Sick of myself

[gargoose]

I scared myself yesterday. I really enjoy and occasional cigar. A NICE one. With a glass of bourbon. Usually sitting outside on a warm spring or summer evening. And I realized yesterday that I have to give that up. That REALLY bummed me out. But my desire to stay quit is stronger than my love of cigars.

Just thought I'd share that struggle.

Hello.
I have used some for of tobacco for the last 20 years. However, I have been a one can a day chewer for over 11 years. I had my last chew last night before bed and I can tell you that I am locked in my office at work trying not to scream at the top of my lungs. The urge is so strong, and I feel so down already. I keep putting my daughter in my head to remind me of whats more important than chewing.
I am trying to use Smokey Mountain for the oral fixation, and that is working, but the mental aspect of this is ridiculous.

Day 7!! I love these milestones!!

I was thinking about accountability this morning. I wouldn't have made it to 7 days without it. I've stopped using in the past and I purposefully told as few people as possible. My hiatus from the bitch usually only lasted a few hours. This time I joined a kick ass group of guys online, I posted it on Facebook, I told my whole family, I told my co-workers. I want as many people to know as possible. Why? Not for the kudos. But because I hate letting people down. And the more people that know, the more people I would let down if I caved. That's a huge motivator for me. And still, that motivator is second in line to doing it for myself. I feel great both physically and emotionally. That bitch has had a hold on me a long time.

No more.

Great post. Way to strengthen your accountability. Celebrate Day 7 just like Days 8  9, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, etc. Every day without the poison calls for celebration. Never again for any reason. 1 dip is too many because 1,000,000 dips is never enough. Keep up the good work.

What he said^^^^ ×2! Damn good job stay quit my friend!

Hey guys! I'm finding that stress at work brings a whole new dimension to my quit. But I am learning ways to combat those urges! So today has been a pretty good day. The weather is beautiful, my mind is clear and my resolve is strong! The nic bitch will not win today!

[flrednek28]

I had done the first few days without any fake. Well, I went and bought a can of Smokey Mountain. I almost feel like I'm cheating. I know there's none of that NIC BITCH but it just doesn't feel right. I guess it's that one of the perks of quitting was saving the money. I don't want to quit an addiction just to start a new habit.

Does any of this make sense?

Sorry for the rant.

I too went and bought SM around day 18, did it 2 times, did not care for it though. You are not cheating brother, whatever it takes to keep you QUIT, at the very least this habit won't kill you!

Quit with you today!

Good morning, Quitters! I'm pretty foggy today and I feel like I may be getting a cold or something.

Hung out with a dipper buddy of mine last night. I thought it would kill me to be around it...but it really didn't. I felt the urge but it was nothing compared to my desire to stay quit. In fact, I may be rubbing off on him. I've never heard him even mention quitting until I did. Now he talks about it quite a bit. We'll see. It has to be on HIS terms and he has to do it for HIM. So I'll share my successes with him and let him come to it on his own.

'oh yeah'

Remember my friend a lot of times it gets worse before it gets better! Doing great keep up positive attitude it definitely helps! Proud to be quit with you today!
