Kc - as you know I work for an alcohol company. My standard reply would be that alcohol can help everything! Not tonight - please talk to your wife and let her help tonight. Call one of us if we can help. I know you have our numbers. This too shall pass. Timing is never good. Uncertainty is never good. Nicotine is never ever ever ever good. It is always darkest before the dawn. You've had some dark days in the past few weeks. Re-read your posts. You made it through them. You'll make it through this.
Be careful with the booze tonight. It is understandable that you'd wanna blow off some steam. But make sure you wife has all the keys. Driving anywhere, including the Phillips station, would not be a good idea. For a lot of reasons.
Hang in there.
I just broke down in front of my wife. Told her I cant do this anymore. And being the awesome wife that she is she told me she would love me no matter what. But she said wait until she comes back with some smokey mountain before I make a dumb decision. She isv on her way to quick trip now. Thank you guys for the encouragement. This is a full on dip panic attac.k
Several comments. First, you can do this. And you will; you gave your word this morning to youself and all of us that today you quit. So you wont use any nicotine today. Because above all else josh, you are a man if your word.
Second, you had some suck days over the past few weeks working through the quit. You don't ever want to relive them. Ever.
Third, nicotine wouldn't get that job back that you didn't like. It won't help you find a new one. But it will kill you if you use it.
And finally, of course your wife will love you. She is there for you in good times and bad. Doesn't it feel good to have her be proud of you, though? Losing a job is part of life. Quitting nicotine and the way she has supported you... Man that is pride. She is proud of you. Don't fuck that up.
