Day 7 today, It has been the worst day of my quit. I have literally been fighting cravings all damn day. I ran out of fake shit a few hours ago. So im grilling some boneless skinless chicken right now to stuff my face with. I also have an interview wednesday, the mind games are fucking with me big time.
"If i wanna be sharp and on my game during the interview maybe i should have a chew before i go, just to relax me."
Thats the kind of thoughts i've been having all day. Im staying quit today. But its taking everything i have.
and when you don't give in, you will be stronger for the next trigger. Fight it hard and find something else to do.
Stay strong brother - you will get thru it.
Listen Mr tater head,
Just by looking at your Avatar I can tell you that having a dip will not infact make you better looking. A crack team of prancing, lisping, L.A. scissor queens and the entire staff from xtreme home makeover edition couldn't get you any sharper than a half eaten crayola. Just kidding. ......Kind of.
7 days is awesome, but how long did you chew for? I dipped for over 8,000 days, at 7 days I was a cross between an axe murdering circus clown and a hermit crab on uppers. The damage to your body is still immense, you feel like shit because your recovering from constantly ingesting a poison that ounce for ounce is more lethal than cobra venom. As your brain is reeling from the effects of getting more oxygen and not being forced to unnaturally produce endorphins you may feel a bit.... foggy. It's been described as trying to think thru velvet. I needed a lighthouse fog horn, a seeing eye dog and a room full of mirrors just to find my ass , putting on pants was a whole nuther story. I will tell you in all honesty that this does get better quickly. But be realistic. You don't get to fuck the prom queen just cause you want to, and you don't get to just wish yourself all better from years of addiction at 7 days. Your paying the price to earn your freedom, pay it gladly, its worth it.
Embrace the suck tater, remember forever how shitty this feels, the 7 days you have are hard fought victorys. too damn hard to throw away. No job is worth those 7 days. No grade, no chick, no dude, no nothing. Those 7 days are gold, better than gold, no one can buy those days of quit and there is no pill that will get them. You earned em. Your nicotine soaked head will still tell you otherwise and quite often for awhile, but you listen to us. Any brain that lets a guy walk around with a haircut straight out of
Hippies with beavers on their heads Quarterly Magazine shouldn't be trusted .
If you and I were in the same room, after you tried to beat my ass because of your current dip rage and my blatently unfair and rude comments about beavers. I think it would go like this
Tater heads head " I can get those days back, I can quit again, I did it this time so it proves I'm not addicted, just one for the interview"
Skoal monster " shut the fuck up tater head's head, dip isnt good for ANYTHING but keeping you addicted to dip"
Tater heads head " but I need one just to chill out"
Skoal Monster " slam your dick in a drawer, it'll take the edge off"
Taterheads head " I'll quit again right after I get this job"
Skoal Monster "yeah right, how long did it take you to earn those 7 days of quit? years, is my guess. How many tries do you think you'll get until you quit trying or it kills you? can you afford to find out?"
taterhead's head " but its safer than smoking, I'm really stressed, I have sand in my labia, it's too hard, I'm different, I'm a bigger addict, my uncles adopted cousins niece ran over her best friends sisters ceramic wiener dog collection and I just can't take it"
Skoal monster " suck it up Taterhead, bigger pussies than you have quit this shit and if I can do it, any window licking, helmet headed , cross dressing midgit can" and you can too.
Don't fixate on a dip, accept the fact your craving, let yourself feel it. Take a deep slow breath, and move on. If that doesn't work, go back to the dick in the drawer trick.
You got this Sloppytaters, one day at a time, one crave, one minute, one secon if need be, but you got this. See you on day 8
