You have the 3 questions. You say KTC was the only success you've ever had tryingntknwuit yet you've faded away twice. And caved twice. If that doesn't tell you that just MAYBE this place works, then think a little longer and harder. Your new group will be Pre-HOF December 2017. You should fit in well there. As of this afternoon they only had 3 members and all there were former KTC cavers reposting. Think about your 3 answers, answer them honestly, get ready for a bashing. Post them in August 2017 and any other group you've been a member of AND in your new group. Also, if you haven't already, flush your stash and spitters, stock up on sunflower seeds, chewing gum, herbal/fake dip, or whatever else you'll need. Post your promise early and every morning, get tonnnow your December brothers, exchange digits. Then, if you start fading away again, you'll have people holding you accountable. That's kind of the cornerstone of this place. Hope to see you posting a day 1 tomorrow.
What, When, Where, How? I last quit chewing October 25 2016 and was in the quit group of February 2017. On May 17th while on vacation I made the huge life changing mistake of letting my family, friends and members of KTC down by beginning to use nicotine again. Did I think being on vacation was also an excuse to take a break from being nicotine free for months and throwing it all away? Just plain dumb! There is no excuse other than thinking I could try chewing once and think I would have the power to actually remain in control. IÂ’ve read it on KTC and on other websites concerning addiction. When you are an addict you will always be one, that is never going to change. If you cheat, you have to start all over again, which in my case took 5 long months to ween myself back off nicotine in preparation to quit again. Let me tell you, as most of you know, itÂ’s agonizing and harder than actually staying quit. My God I donÂ’t want to do this again. Addiction is a bitch, itÂ’s something you have to work on every day and be accountable for. There is no way around just doing something once if are an addict.
What am I going to do different? I mentioned this before and I will practice it this time: Reach out for support to KTC as well as family members. Post the quit contract in my house, in my car and at work. These are things I did not do before. I never wanted to admit I needed support from others. All my life when any task needed to be done it was always my belief that if you want something done do yourself! Well, itÂ’s time to realize that sometimes you need others support to get through things such addiction. It kills me to admit I failed, it pisses me off IÂ’ve been unsuccessful in doing this by myself, not once but twice! I hate it every day. The more important thing now is to push my anger and selfishness aside and work hard for my family, KTC and myself. Hopefully, this successful group will accept me back in to continue my quit.
