Day 222
Anxiety Anxiety Anxiety.
It just won’t stop. No dip today.
MN/2,826 Friday QUIT
My therapist said that I should take a break from KTC. Says that I need to move on from anything that reminds me of dip. What do you guys think?
worktwoin 4,044. If you getting on here and typing your thoughts makes you wanna dip, I guess I'd probably take a break. Has your therapist every dipped and successfully quit? Just curious, because we can relate to what you are experiencing. But I'm no mental health expert. Just a nicotine addict that has a few years of success under my snazzy belt. By the way, it was 40 degrees here yesterday and its like 4 here today. That sucks.
Normally I would disagree. I think it's critical to remember where you've been to make sure you know where you are going. A resource like KTC, when utilized the way it was intended, builds relationships which blossoms into accountability and helps folks fight shoulder to shoulder against nicotine, weathering the storms arm in arm.
With your situation and your inability to utilize KTC in it's current active environment, I don't know if your therapist's advice has merit or not. Yes, you post each day here which is foundational but the deeper levels of brotherhood and accountability are missing since this forum has been an echo chamber since the move to Discord.
Typically when people say they are going to leave KTC because it's the only time they think of dip, the masses come out and light their ass up. Boiled down, it's addict speak. You are always going to be around things that trigger thoughts of nicotine or around people who use tobacco. So frankly, removing KTC won't be the earth shattering change that tips the balance IMO.
