Hi I'm Jaden, I recently started my quit... Well it was august 1st, anyways I've been doing good up until this last week. My wife and I got in a huge fight Sunday morning and so I turned back to the can that morning and it's been a downward spiral ever since. I've been dealing with the Washington state tobacco quit line and they've helped out a lot! I haven't called them yet about this mishap but I'm going to after I get done with this post, anyways I'm just looking for encouragement and words of wisdom to take the next step. I'm curious to hear from people that are in my same position (quitting) to see what you guys think should be the next step, whether I should set a new quit date again or just try to start again on Monday or something... Thanks in advance
Jaden,
Posting this intro is a tremendously huge step in the right direction. You should not "set" a new quit date. You should QUIT TODAY. Go get your can, go to the bathroom and flush that crap away! Why wait until monday to start quitting again? The time is now.
I want to see you posting roll TODAY. (I believe you will be posting with January 2014). That is the second and most important step you can take. Your fight with your wife is nothing compared to your fight with the Nic Bitch. If you continue dipping you are going to die. Plain and simple. Is the can really that important to you? Do yourself a favor and get the help you need by quitting TODAY. Not Monday, not whenever it is most convenient, TODAY.
Prove to me that you really want a life free of the enslavement that is Nicotine. Go post roll and I will support you. Take the first step and I will walk the line with you. You have to want this more than anything else.
Show me you have what it takes to be a Quitter and I will support you.
Dave
