There are some who are judgmental of one's responses to the 3 questions, what happened, why did it happen, and what are you going to do differently. I am not one of those people. In many ways I'm appreciative of those cavers who come back to become quitters again. Similar to Wt57, their stories reinforce the importance of remaining active and remaining vigilant in one's quit. I'm assuming this is a lesson you know all too well.
Your story personifies something we preach often here, 1 problem (you lost your job) + nicotine = 2 problems. At the end of the day, what does nicotine solve? Nothing. Was it worth going back to the can? No. Is it worth all of the pathetic behavior you desire to be free of? No. Why am I asking these questions? Because you have a shitload of excuses in your head to go hit the can and throw in a fatty of cancer causing worm dirt. BoutTime, I can't wait for you to post roll and quit with us every damn day. All I ask in return is you quit Every Damn Day for all those reasons you wrote. Get your freedom back.
Another one. Damn Steak.
Steak is right.
When I hear someone caved, I just want to scream, "FUCK!!!" But then, that won't do any fucking good...
There is NO EXCUSE for fucking caving. Nothing a fucking caver can say will erradicate the fuck-up. But WE fuckers welcome back fuckers who fuck-up when they admit the fuck-up, explain why the fuck it happened, and tell us what the fuck they're going to do differently this fucking time.
See Murph...when you fucking hang out with these fuckers and post roll on this fucking site, you are virtually guaranteed not to fuck-up. You give your fucking word each day and we expect you to fucking keep it. I don't recall anyone giving you permission to fucking cave. We're depending on you to fucking keep us accountable too. How the fuck can you do that if you're not fucking here with us fuckers?
Let's get it fucking right this time, huh?
I learn so much for these caves! The reasons and circumstances all seem to repeat for so many people.
1. Failure to learn the basics of quit 101 will most certainly lead to a cave later on.
2. One problem + nicotine = two problems.
3. Alcohol is the biggest quit killer out there.
4. Failure to continue to post your promise every day whether you are 100 days quit or 1,000 days quit is a recipe for a cave.
5. length of quit is not related to strength of quit.
6. This is Chess.... not checkers, educate yourself
7. There is no just one.....ever
8. You are an addict.... no different than a heroin junkie
9. you will always be an addict
10. 100% of quitters that don't put nicotine in their body quit successfully
11. It's going to suck.......... until it doesn't..............and then it won't
And when the fog lifts and you understand how easy this quitting business really is you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. It's so simple. Embrace the suck, just give in to the fact that your going to suffer for awhile. It won't kill you despite what you think. A small amount of suffering is a reasonable price to pay to save your life I think? What about you?
