Keep that attitude and you will go far! This MUST be the most important thing in your life.

That's awesome. In an otherwise shitty day, Loot just made me laugh out loud and almost wake up my daughter. Welcome to the suck? Thanks, glad to be here with like minded brothers and sistas. That's good advice though, I hadn't thought about it like that. This shit is necessary, so we have some lasting memories of what a slave we were (are?) to that piece of shit weed! Right now I want this more than anything else I've ever fought for, and I can't believe it's just a weed that is CONSUMING me.

You do not want to do this. You need the pain of the first 3-5 days to keep you from going back. Remember the pain you are in and vow to never go through it again. With each failed quit comes the pain all over again.

Take it one day, hell one hour at a time if you have to, just stay quit.
PP nailed it. Never forget. You forget, you fail.

Welcome to the suck. Remember every fuckin shitty second of it.

I used the same exact rationalization. Your mind will tell you anything to keep you a slave to the nic bitch. Just know they are all lies. My wife finally said to me that if we got divorced then at least I'd still have a jaw to kiss other women with :wub: At that point I finally realized that my quit(health) was the most important thing in my life and my thinking was full of shit
Yep, all lies. There isn't a single good thing about it, Denny. Give it some time and you'll come to realize that you never really even enjoyed it and were simply doing it because you had to in order to feed the addiction. You will see a dude smoking or spitting in a cup and pity him for still being a slave. Good to be quit with you.

Quitter, here. Day 1
« on: June 09, 2011, 02:47:00 PM »
Hi Everyone - just thought I'd drop a line and say hi, since I'm about to go bonkers. I'm 6 hours into my first full day, and this morning is crawling by. I posted roll call for my day 1. I don't know about tomorrow, but today I won't dip. I've chewed for 10 years or so....used it to stop smoking. Bad call. Tried a few times in the past, only to make it two days, three days, then some reason to go back. My favorite rationalization is that it's good for my marriage. That was the last one, when I was being an ass and lost it. This time it's for good, no going back. I just have to make it until bedtime, which I think I can do today, but I'm seriously in the deep fog. Anyway, thanks for reading, I will not let this can control my life anymore, I know there is life after dip. I just wish I could fast forward a month or two....
