1,000 days is a bit late

[Radman]

Woke up yesterday in quite a funk.  Strangely enough, I wasn't sure why.  Just felt troubled for some reason.  Took me a bit to recall a dip dream I'd had during the night.

I guess "dip dream" isn't the best term. It was more of a looseleaf dream, I suppose.  In the dream, I was driving along and casually grabbed a pack of Golden Blend and took a chew.  Then I recall cruising along for a few miles thinking "at least I'm not dipping".  Then it hit me (as if by surprise) that this is NOT acceptable - nicotine is nicotine.  Apparently I had been started back chewing for a while and thought it was ok.

1133 days and this shit is still messing with my head.  NAFAR.

Oh boy. Something to look forward to. Lol.

Sorry, Diesel. Don't happen much nowadays. Probably been 6 months.

Honestly, I hope the dreams never go away. They serve a purpose. The feeling of betrayal and failure were strong enough to rekindle my fight.

Wow, almost 3 years  a dream can still come back around?? But then I shouldn't be surprised, like I've been told already, this isn't a sprint, it's a marathon  you're in for life.

Actually a month past 3 years, but who's counting, right?

I like your point - it's definitely not a sprint.

I know, just messing with ya. I'm at 505 and still looking for some stuff, like going a few days without thinking about it. In due time, I'm sure...

Radman is a badass quitter. Much respect sir.

[miles]

Much love Rob. I hope you are recovering from your knee surgery well!

[Keddy]

Radman rocks! Just sayin . . . .

[Radman]

Thanks, guys.

Srans makes a good point. I think I'll tell them that the next time I stop to get $85 worth of gas.

Reading back through this thread always reminds me why I'm here and what we're all about.  Support and brotherhood.

Anyway.... on to the reason I was gonna post here today:

Day 1077.  No drama in my quit lately.  Life is wonderful.  Then today I find out for sure that running has been deleted from my future due to the recent knee surgery.  First thought:  "No problem, I'll just get me a bike and peddle my happy ass back into shape.".  A couple hours after that, nicotine reminded me just how sneaky it can be.  The thought actually popped into my head that if my body is already falling apart, what difference would it make if I was still dipping.  Really?  Ya gotta be kidding me.

Times like these remind me why it's important to stay active here.  Man, I got some good friends on KTC.  No way will they accept a weak excuse like that.  Anyway, I was prepared to brush that thought off in rapid fashion thanks to what I've learned here. 

So, I'm posting this as a reminder to myself as well as to the rest of y'all.  Never forget just how tricky and persistent this addiction is. 

NAFAR.

Thanks for being here each and every day.

I'm sorry to hear about the knee problem brother. I count myself as one of them friends and your correct. You know where i stand with the poison.

A can of poison doesn't even deserve to be in the same room as you brother. Hell, when you walk into a convenient store they should have clear all the shelves of poison until you leave. Glad to be quit with you.
