Day 766

ItÃ,’s been a couple of crazy days for me. In case you havenÃ,’t heardÃ,…the freaking EAGLES won the Super Bowl! WOWÃ,…IÃ,’m still in shock. IÃ,’m heading to the parade tomorrow with the family. I canÃ,’t wait!

I get together with my friends a couple times a year. It is so hard these days with all of us having kids and we just donÃ,’t get together as much as we like. The super bowl is one of those times. We are sitting around and talking and then out of nowhere I get this crave to smoke a cigarette. I used to smoke before dipping and a couple of my buddies still occasionally smoke. It hit me like a ton of bricks. My mind is telling me to reward yourself todayÃ,…the Eagles are playing. You can go back to quitting tomorrow and it will help with your stress level. YesÃ,…I really want to smoke. Then I remember my promise that I made that morning and tell myself no way. I start thinking about the dreams I have been having lately. I have been having dreams that I have dipped and still post roll like nothing it wrong. In my dream I think to myselfÃ,…who would really know? No big deal. I wake up and find myself really upset that my subconscious mind would allow me to think that it would be ok to lie. I hope these thoughts go away soon because it is really messing with my brain.

Every time I think IÃ,’m on easy street with quitting I get a dose of reality. These times IÃ,’m so happy that I continue to post roll. It is my security blanket. I know without a doubt that if I stopped posting roll I would not be quit today. I would have saidÃ,…one is ok and that would have started the cycle to using daily like so many times in the past.

I've had that same dream a few times. It really does screw with your brain any way it can.

Congrats on your team winning. My Niners look to be strong again next season based on the last five games of this past season.

The joy of the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl.

It is hard to explain it to a casual fan or someone that hasnÃ,’t lived through the years of not winning. Most years you have a hope. Some years there is no hope. Those special years that you think this is the year and then to see them lose itÃ,…year after year. The thoughts of next year is our year. It just sucks. These past few days all these thoughts have run through my head and now finallyÃ,…we are the champions! Never again will I have to hear that we never won the Super Bowl.

I tried to explain this to my daughter. She is 12. She didnÃ,’t get it at first but now she does since I explained it to her while we waited for the parade to start. She loves Christmas and gets so excited for it to come. Weeks before she is bouncing around the house. She told me I was acting like her on Super Bowl Sunday before the game. I was. I couldnÃ,’t sit still. I had that nervous energy. So, getting back to my story. Imagine every Christmas you had no idea if Santa would come. You heard stories of Santa leaving lots of presents for kids in other cities but you have never experienced it yet. Every year you would hope that he would come. Every year you would have that nervous energy that excitement that you have leading up to Christmas day. You go to bed and wake up and pray that he came. You run down steps and turn the corner and nothing. He didnÃ,’t come, again. You would feel total disappointment. What is worse though is that you saw that he came to the kids from NYC and to Dallas or those New England kids. You hear those kids laughing at you since Santa has never been to your house. Even some of these kids have experienced Santa on Christmas more than once. You have never felt that feeling of having presents to open Christmas morning.

Imagine after 57 years of him never coming he finally comes. Image how you would feel when you turned the corner and you see all the presents under the Christmas tree for you. All those years of disappointment wiped away. Never again will you hear those chants of you never winning. You are finally Super Bowl Champs! That what it means to me and I got to celebrate it yesterday with my family. What a week this has been and one that I will never forget.

Awesome analogy and perspective... still coal in the stocking for this life long Vikes fan, so yeah I def get it. Congrats brotha.

Day 701

There are times that I miss dip. I miss getting that buzz of the first dip of the day. I miss sitting down and watching the game and cracking open a fresh tin. I wish I was able to have just one. Lucky for me these donÃ,’t come all that often nor do these thoughts last that long.

When I get these thoughts, like I did yesterday, I always wonder what would happen if I stopped posting roll? Would I still be quit? Would I remember that IÃ,’m an addict? I have tried to quit multiple times in the past. What went wrong those times compared to this time? I didnÃ,’t realize I was an addict. I didnÃ,’t realize that I can never have just one. I came to this realization after my last failure. It was what finally got my mindset right about quitting this time.

My answer is that I really donÃ,’t know. I would like to think that I would still be quit if I stopped posting roll. What I do know is that I have been quit for 700 days by posting roll. It works because posting roll is my daily reminder that IÃ,’m an addict.

On point!!!

It's a slippery slope of what if's and potentially leading me down a rabbit hole so deep, I don't think I'd ever surface / survive
