Almost Through Day 1

[MonsterMedic]

Well, I just came back to my intro to see if things show up differently yet, and lo-and-behold, the latest post shows up first!!! Sweet!

This is going to take a LOT of getting used to. The whole damn layout is upside down and backwards. Having to go to the highest number of page is really weird. So is having to scroll to the bottom to see the newest post. I know change is inevitable, but so far not a fan.

It definitely is different, but in a week it will be like it always was....ok, maybe 8 days!

Hopefully there is a way to change it to the last message first. Of course I've searched and can't find one.

I actually was starting to feel free.  Until I walked out to get the mail.  Had a letter from as kola about all the discounts they have going on and their current giveaways.  Sent me into a full blown craving.  My mind played tricks on me for a few minutes but I've got it back under control now.  41 days without the NB.  I am NOT throwing that away.  Instead, I'll throw away their cancerous propaganda.

Tear that crap up into little pieces, soak the pieces in lighter fluid and burn 'em. Urinate on the ash and bury the whole damn mess. 'Finger' them, you're done.

Well done monster! Sometimes it is something little that will set us off on a craving. The key is recognizing it, remembering you are quit and then shutting it down. Way to go! 41 days is some good quit!

Hey Monster you feeling that freedom yet? You're earning it! Keep it rolling. Be ready to slap the nicbitch in the face if she shows up any time soon. Don't let that guard down.

What Diesel said... Deep shit but true...

[MonsterMedic]

This has probably been the longest and most difficult month of my life. But, it's also been the most worthwhile. I took my life back one month ago. I'm proud of the person I've become without nicotine.

And I'm damn proud to have people like you in my corner supporting me. I'm glad to be able to support others in their quit, as well.

Thank you all. One day at a time.

Well, there's another first without nicotine.  Standing around at an accident scene for a couple of hours while the police investigate.  Nothing to do but stand there and chew gum.  I think that boredom is my biggest enemy when it comes to cravings anymore. 

I can handle that I'm not chewing while I'm on calls or at the hospital anymore. Sitting around the station; sitting at a fire scene or an accident scene: that's my craving time.

Ugh...  All I know is that I'm focusing on quitting today, not tomorrow.  ODAAT!

Yeah, because sucking on some chemically laced toxic tobacco and spitting brown slime, is "exciting".

Dipping didn't cure boredom. In fact if you think about it, chewing tobacco is one of THE most boring and disgusting things you can do.

Boredom is a state of mind. Dipping relieves nicotine withdrawal. Not a damn thing more.

The minute you spit a dip out the clock starts ticking...tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...been awhile now...body needs nicotine...tick tock, tick tock...I've gotta get my fix again....tick tock, tock, tick tock...pop in a dip...AHHHH I feel all better now. I don't feel bored, I don't feel stressed, I can concentrate, I'm having "fun" now!!! This is great!!! Thanks nicotine, you're my hero.

Then a funny thing happens. You spit your dip out and the whole process starts over again. Damn you sure are bored a lot, you sure are stressed, a lot, you sure do have trouble concentrating, or having fun.

Did it ever dawn on you that nicotine really is not providing all those thing. That instead you just THINK it is, when really all you are doing is feeding the little nicotine monster? I mean, how do "normal" non nicotine addicted people make it through a day???? Surely if nicotine truly provided all those things then , those people must be some miserable sons a bitches.

It's just the opposite, ain't it.

Nicotime fills no voids. It only creates them. Every time you pop a dip, the only thing you are doing is reliving the pang of nicotine withdrawl.. It's a never ending cycle of throwing dirt into holes that you create. You're literally a slave. Just digging and a fillin those holes like member number 642 on a chain gang.

When you quit dip, you lose absolutely nothing. Dipping didn't do a mother fucking thing fir you, except try to kill you and take your freedom in the process.

Take your freedom bsck, Monster. Live life the way you were meant to live it. You weren't born with a mouth full of chaw. Nobody was. Quit living on the false shoulders of poisonous weeds in a can. It's all lies. Every single bit of it.

You don't need it and you never did.

Quit on...

Thank you guys for the reality check!

And Mogul- it's just a tooth! 'na na'

Monster, you may think that it's boring and that it is just another day at work. However, I think you are a total badass. If I was standing there "bored" watching what you are describing, I would be puking my guts out. If I had a dip, it would be all over my clothes because I couldn't even hold down water at that point. People like you amaze me. Just two days ago my 11 year old daughter pulled her own tooth. Just a little blood, it was very loose and ready to come out. She smiled and showed it to me. Next thing I know is I'm on the freaking floor, daughter wiping my forehead with a cold cloth saying "Daddy, its ok, its just a tooth". Yeah, just a tooth my ass. Accident scene? shit, I would rather be the accident.

You da man Monster.
