so I came here on the recommendation of a friend who quit and has stayed that way. I have tried several times over the years and never made it this long. im @ 3 weeks in and I have not found a new way to "deal" with "life". I need help with that.
I wanted to quit for my family and all who tell me I should. personal I didn't want to quit, atleast not whole heartedly. I miss it! im past the "I need it" but since starting this quit, either my stress level has gone to new hieghts or I just can deal with it with out my "helper".
im NOT giving up beer!!!!! so that helps. I don't plan on alcohol as the next addiction, just to get my off the ledge now and then. but that doesn't help me at work which is one of the biggest stressors I have.
I have a lot on my plate and keep thinking "this was not a good time to quit". so am I missing something? is it just me? or did the world fall apart for everyone else too?
It's all bullshit. It's all a lie. It's all weak justifications.
The addiction is talking to you. It saying you need dip to work, talk to your boys or family, to cook on the grill, to drive your car, etc. none if it is true though dude. There is a saying on here and it goes like this-----1 problem + dip =2 problems
Get involved here. Read the forums and the intros. Most importantly you should read about and post roll. It is the cornerstone of our page. We take this shit serious and we do it together. There will be more posts after mine with some great info. Follow the lead.
1. you need to quit for you!
2. stop romancing the bitch, you do not miss her, i mean seriously you miss a poisonous addictive weed that steals your self respect?
3. "helper?" see the previous post by sixer...problem + nic= 2 problems.
4. alcohol is a depressant, and lowers inhibitions - traditionally its the biggest reason for caves so rethink you beer stance.
5. nic does not relieve stress, it only fills a void it creates. the relief you feel is the nic bitch feeling good about your lack of self respect.
6. a lot on your plate, eff that bs everybody is busy, everybody has issues, we quit so can you!
7. there is only 1 good time to quit TODAY! then repeat it tomorrow!
8. everybody has their world effed up by the quit you are no different. it does get better we promise!
to quit once and for all:
1. post roll every day first thing, no exceptions.
2. read everything on the site hof speeches, words of wisdom intros...learn the enemy knowledge is quit power.
3. get numbers build a support network of fellow quitters.
4. GO ALL THE FUCK IN! this is literally life and death! Do not half ass your quit!
5. Pass it on reach out to the next guy!
