"Fuck nicotine dude. You don't need it. And you don't want it. It didn't do a thing for you and you know it." - worktowin
"today you dissided that shit wont control your life. and it wont. unless you let it." - drome
"Not thinking about nicotine is for people who've never used nicotine. We threw that option away with the first dip or drag on a cigarette. We are addicts, and cannot become un-addicted." - wildirish317
"You need to decide how much you really want to be quit." - pky1520
We are always at risk. And probably always will be. That is why I will never get "too quit" to post my +1. Every. Damn. Day. - geis2597

I'm done with chew

Happy Birthday bro. Glad to hear your starting at the Toyota dealership. With your attitude and knowledge you may find you like the job a lot. You can make some bank in auto sales.

Candoit

There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.

My journey. The best part it is not over yet.

Quote from: pab1964My brother I understand wanting to hang on but dammit my friend you are killing yourself mentally. Move on there's other women out there looking for a man like you. And I will add it's easy for me to say this I'm not in your shoes. But remember those beautiful girls need there Dad. Head up candy, you will be fine, God will not put more on you than you can handle. Continue letting it out , it's not good to keep it in. I would look her straight in the eyes and say I want you to tell me it's over and also is there someone else? Be the man that you are. Prayers to you.
Pab, I am at the point were I am asking myself what is there to save, then my girls look at me. I realize they need to understand forgiveness and compassion, something that their mother has never learned or long since forgotten. I need lead by example, plain and simple.

I am out of ideas:

1. I have been applying to jobs like a mad man. I have one starting on Tuesday at a Toyota dealership, sales manager. I haven't stopped applying.
2. I have tried to be positive and understanding.
3. I have sought professional help.
4. I have been reading the bible and praying (thank you Rawls)
5. I have been trying to spend as much time with the girls as possible.
6. I have shared openly my feelings with her, like i do here.
7. I have tried to make sure I do the small things that she gets annoyed I dont do.


I am all ears...
I am seeing that you are making great strides my friend, lets look:

1 - You are being the good father and spending time with your girls. That in of itself should give you a great feeling to be with those who will look up to you.

2 - you have employment that you are seeking. It is a start, and might not be the long term answer of what you ultimately want, but you are a step to the positive.

3- From your postings here, I have seen a positive attitude, maybe a little down, but always a spark looking to the better (and even still helping others).

4 - Always to use prayer and the help of others when we feel we need. There is nothing wrong when it comes to that. We all came here to KTC when we needed help with quitting nicotine, and now with help needed in other areas in your life you are reaching out. Can be nothing smarter than what you are doing.

I say take a step back and look at what you are doing. This is all you. Do not worry about what the others may think as it is you and your reaction to how you are doing that means the world. Now I think looking at the 4 items I listed, that you are doing quite well and I think others would say the same for the effort you are giving. And I think if you look in the mirror you would probably come to the same conclusion, and if you do I would feel pretty good about yourself.

Just keep up the great work. I believe if you keep on doing what you are, everything will work out for the best in the end.
To me it's obvious what the problem is here. You have poured your heart out to this woman and for some reason or another she no longer wants or needs you. Once again I will say move on candy, to me you're wasting your time you could use elsewhere, she's not the only woman you are capable of loving. Remember it takes 2 and sometimes the harder you try ,the farther you're pushing her away. Sometimes a little time away makes my wife and myself think about things.
I'm going to repeat my recurring theme... Throw every bit of your energy into you. Including your new job. By the way... Congratulations!
You can't make her want to get back together. The harder you pull, the harder she pushes. Time to do a 180. Whatever you have been doing has not worked in this department so it's time to start mentally preparing to move on . We all know sometimes you have to fake it to make it, so put on the happy face. Start exuding confidence and just focus on you. Hit the gym, go out with the guys, keep slamming the job front, have some fun and just overall act like you aren't at a breaking point.
