Hidden habit

[chris2alaska]

Day 12. My skin is breaking out. I’m bloated, I can’t concentrate. I’ve battled through days that I’ve cried over every little thing. My hormones are experiencing the college life I guess....

I know these things will fade, I’ve been there before. I know I will become weak at some point, I’ve been there before. This time though- I know it’s coming and I have a plan, and this time I have incredible people here that I WILL NOT betray!

Great job having a plan. Use your tools and remember to foster those relationships. We all need a helping hand from time to time.

You got my digits ankape.  Use them if you need to.  You are stronger than you think though and I know you will prevail.

Like nearly everyone else I’ve talked with here, I had quit before KTC numerous times. Once I quit for nearly a year and a half!! I got complacent. Up until KTC I’ve always been isolated with my addiction. My husband was gone for a 3 week assignment and I didn’t have anyone around who I felt might even kind of understand.
  My weakness slowly started to grow. We had some family stress and the thoughts came...then I couldn’t stop thinking about it...I caved and bought, but didn’t open....then I opened and smelled but closed it back up....well. After I caved I just bawled. I had worked so hard and now it was gone in an instant.
I am so incredibly thankful for all of the people here who have reached out to me.  Amazing people are willing to spend their time to help me save myself from this addiction.
So thankful for you all!!
I look forward to paying it forward in the years to come!!

Hey, if it makes you feel any better... I had quit for 4 years before having "just one."  I could not believe how quickly I was hooked again.  Within a week.  I went on to smoke for another 26 years (with a few stoppages in between), so you were a lot smarter than me!!!

The good news, is at least this time you understand that "you can't have just one" means exactly that and I bet that makes your quit that much stronger this time!  And now that you have found KTC you are in even better shape, as long as you continue to chug that KTC Kool-Aid and WUPP every day.

If you are looking for more support, send me your digits.

First off...I am a woman...
My addiction started with redman when I was about 14 while working with a bunch of guys at a ski hill. I had no idea what I was getting myself into....
I have hidden my habit from everyone except my husband and my best friend. I’ve tried to...or wanted to quit almost as long as I’ve done it. I came here seeking motivation and read Tom Kern’s story. The idea that my choice to continue this habit will cause such pain to those who love me is more than I can handle. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to quit forever.

I quit with you today sister....my name is John...I started dipping at the age of 17 and 27 days I quit dipping after 33 years ....you can do this...I support you It is hard at first but it gets better....there are alot of lady dippers here that are really helpfull and have good info @Lady G .  reach out to them that is how this works.  If you need me let me know.

Welcome @ankape ,

First, flush whatever you have left down the toilet.  Second, post your promise to remain nicotine free for today Go Here to Post. Third, KEEP YOUR PROMISE. Fourth, Repeat Daily.

If you can do those things, you will succeed.  You have to want it for yourself, not for anyone else.  We have several female quitters here that you can reach out to if it makes you feel more comfortable.  @FLLipOut , @harvestgirl , @ChickDip . @L8x55d , @Falcon67 , @Lady G  are a few of the Bad Ass female quitters here.

After you post roll, start exchanging digits with those ladies as well as any of the other quitters you want.  My digits are always available. I actually text FLLipOut and L8x55d daily and them me. 

Now a little bit of correction, you do not have a tobacco habit, you have a nicotine addiction.  You need to come to terms with that.  A habit you can break, like biting your nails, an addiction stays with you until the day you die.  But, you can live your life without letting your addiction control your life.  We can show you how.

The choice is now yours,

Chris

Hi there! I am also a woman.....and this place and these people here saved my life. Now, I had to do the work.....but I was never alone.  The battle you are going to enter is tough so you have to be fierce. If you want to be clean and free you will be.....if you use this place to help you.

1. Make yourself the promise to not use nicotine ( this is your ADDICTION not your habit). Be all in or it wont work no matter what.

2. Make the promise to us here that you will fight all day and not use any form of nicotine....no patch no gum no nothing.  All you have to do is deal with today....24 hours....and we deal with tomorrow....tomorrow.  Your promise is what we do when we post roll.....and your word is everything here.

3. Keep the promise.

4. Tomorrow we will do it again.

We quit here and everyone will help you get through this.....we have all been there. We have all had our last dip and been fearful yet motivated, scared of the what if and how.....but we are here to help you. We stood exactly where you are now.

We quit here with you because we want YOU to be quit......Freedom from nicotine is the most incredible thing you will ever discover and you will NEVER regret it.

I quit here with you......but FOR ME. See, hearing what you are dealing with, helping you along minute by minute until it becomes day by day....it all helps me remember where I dont want to be....it helps stay me Quit.

Do not ever forget day one.....because you don't ever want to go back here......ready? Here we go...

@ankape great job making the decision to quit. You have come to the right place. Head over to the Feb20 group and post your promise assuming you have stopped using nicotine. Your day 1 is the day you made the decision to stop. We quit one day at a time. Wake up and post your promise first thing in the morning and then keep your word. Repeat the process the following day. Fellow quitters will be reaching out via messages to exchange digits and offer support. This is normal but only exchange digits through messages and not the forum. Drink a ton of water and get extra rest. You can do this. Here is the link to your group https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=15988.msg7550844#msg7550844
