Big win for me yesterday. I was out with friends and everyone was smoking Marlboro Reds cigarettes. I'm against tobacco and I've taught myself to hate it now. Anyways I hate these things more than I hate dip. Both are awful but cigarettes have secondhand smoke and it was everywhere. I could barely breath. I'm telling you I was holding my breath and walking away every time a little smoke blew my direction. Well later on everyone's pressuring me to dip. Literally forcing me to. I said no and didn't do it, knowing I made a promise and I was not letting you guys (or more importantly myself) down. I feel so proud of myself. I also reached out to Randall, and worktowin last night as this was happening. It feels good to be free. I'd rather have my vanilla or caramel grinds coffee pouches anyway.
GB, I'm glad you resisted that stuff. Great work, man. That IS a big win, and you did exactly what you should do. You should feel proud, and I'm proud for you too. I've got to ask something just out of curiosity, though...
Are these guys you're hanging out with going to get in the way of your quit? I mean, it's bad enough simply being around people who smoke and dip. That alone is enough to get the craves going. But if you're saying these guys are actively encouraging you to dip, forcing you as you said, that just seems like a tremendous amount of pressure that's totally avoidable. Personally, I'd steer clear of those dudes if they don't knock that shit off immediately and respect your quit.
I dunno man. Be very careful. You're kicking ass, and I know you got this. You just have to make sure you're in an environment you can succeed in.
Either way, great work using digits and honoring your word!
