Yet another reminder of my past on day 702.  I had another dip dream.  I know I'd never do the things I did in this dream, but it was in my head.  It was a good reminder of what a liar I was and how much control nicotine had on my life.  I will say that one overwhelming thought I had in the dream was that as I posted on KTC while I was caved, I'd be banned.  I was deeply depressed that I had fallen back into my lying.  The lying was even more painful than the cave. 

I'm so proud to admit that I am a recovering addict and a recovering liar!  When I quit and flushed my stash I honestly thought that in 6 months or so that I would be total free and recovered.  Even at one year I didn't realize the scope of recovery.  15-16,000 days of using aren't put into my past by a some 700 days of abstinence.  I am in recovery and accept the fact that sometimes life sucks but I can deal with it, without resorting to nicotine. Instead:
"Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;"

Today is another day, I'm quit, I will strive to enjoy it and will share my experience with others.

I too am a recovering nic addict and liar.
I quit with You today!

It really does help to see posts that understand and share about the longer term recovery process. That is the end game I am in for, and I appreciate the heck out of you guys sticking around and being open about it for the rest of us.

And that is why WT is a kick ass quitter! Enjoy the quit and freedom every day.

great words. it is a privilege to read these thoughts.

Congratulations WT !!!You Sir, are one bad ass quitter !!! I would be proud to be on your quit team any day.....

"You been quit Long?"..(No, I haven't)
But WT has!
Nice work WT and I too have no problem with knowing that I need to do this ODAAT. It seems to work.

WT: I haven't had a dip dream since forever then out of nowhere, I have one last night.

Didn't mess me up in the head. Just part of recovery and a sign that we are winning the battle.

Quit with you and congrats on 700 milestone.

One of the things that drives me each day is the realization that a cave takes more integrity from me. I was a liar and each day I/we regain our integrity! That drives me. Thanks for the post.

Well, well, well, I got another reminder today of what my use of nicotine left me.  I spent time today in the dentist chair today having yet another root canal.  I have lost 10 teeth either partially or completely, gum grafts, empty holes, crowns and implants.  I'm sure that I'm not done with my dental problems.  It's good to have these problems as a reminder of what I gave up and it is also good to have problems that are repairable rather than suffer the loss of my face, jaw, throat or stomach. 
Dip cost me so much more than the 10's of thousands of dollars for cans it has cost me 10's of thousands of dollars in dental bills.  There is another cost that was even greater than all these dollars.  That damn can of poison cost me the experience of sharing my daughter growing up.  I can't bring that back but I can enjoy and share with her as her children grow up.  These empty spaces in my gums where teeth should be are a daily reminder that I will not dip today but rather reach out and spend time with my family.

UST 'Finger'

I know it's hard to forget the past, but we can forgive ourselves and give our families everything we have now. Quit always with you!

'Finger' UST indeed. A big F.U. to the Douche Bags in the local, state, and national US govt. during my lifetime (If I could figure out that nicotine is a zero positive/ infinitely negative addiction than so should our government, but it is still legal due to the revenue it brings in from the taxes levied against the nicotine junkies). Thanks for all you do here Wt57, You helped get me on the KTC path early in my quit, and have helped so many people here!
