Just a couple things that have helped me stay the course over the last few weeks...more or less self-instruction. It helps for me to type them out hopefully will help someone else in the process.
Give each temptation some credit, don't just brush it off. We all have our triggers (driving to work, ball game, toilet time, poker night, all of the above more) that really make us want to dip. When these events happen, acknowledge them take a moment to remind yourself why it's so important to stay quit. Don't be so arrogant as to pat them on the head like a little brother tell them to run along. If you had a little brother like mine, you know they have a way of striking right when you get comfortable.
After you KTC, at some point (likely many points) you'll have to kill the thought that you can have a cheat dip; that one cheat dip won't undo all your hard work. Maybe you're a unicorn and can have 3 dips a year and never think about it otherwise. If so, congrats, I hate you I can't relate. For the rest of us, the cheat dip is just a little bread crumb the nic bitch left behind when we kicked her out. Remind yourself it will absolutely NOT be as great as you think. You'll expect a big euphoric reunion when seeing this "old friend" again, but it never works that way. You just feel guilty, stupid childish. And if this is your first attempt at quitting, just trust me on this, I have an perfect cheat-dipping record. Something like 0-fer-fifty.
