I caved again this morning... I guess the bright side is that through this entire week, even though I've caved every day, it has been substantially less use than I'm used to...
I've had a few of you members reach out to me with your support and I thank everyone for their support. I ordered some of that Jake's mint chew and it will be here tomorrow.
I need to reach out more, I realize that. The problem with that is I've always kept this habit very private and hidden from everyone - even from my long-term girlfriend. She caught me over the weekend (and that didn't go well) which started this LAST QUIT. I don't even feel comfortable enough yet to approach her every time I cave.
I'm ashamed and mad at myself. Every time I've caved this week, I get even more mad at myself. I personally feel like I'm getting there - but that's just an addict talking. I'm hoping this first day is the hardest...
Does anyone have any tips beside this mint chew stuff (I've used cough drops, gum, sunflower seeds in the past and I'm using them again)? Has anyone tried the Nicorette junk?
you do realize that by caving everyday, you aren't quitting right. You are just prolonging the amount of time in between your uses. In fact, I seriously doubt that you are buying a brand new can everytime you cave.
I was a ninja dipper forever. My wife never knew about it. She caught me several times in our relationship. The last time she threatened to take my son and leave me.
The thing that works best about this site is that you realize that your story isn't special. You are not special. There are people on here who did the same thing as you. Told the same lies as you, and are going through the same thing as you.
About your gf, maybe you should talk to her before you cave. See if maybe you two could find some activity to do to take your mind off it. 'winker'
Use us, you will be grateful for the help that people can give you, but more importantly use her, it will make your relationship a thousand times stronger, and if you come to her with the truth, she may actually start trusting you again.
The other thing is no Nicorette, this is a nicotine free site. Using nicorette only keeps that bitch in your blood and mind until you start using again. There isn't a replacement product on the market that will satisfy your craving for nicotine. You've got to want to quit, and from reading your post below I'm not sure that you really want to.
There is no try on this site. There is only do or not do. Caving everyday is an example of not do. Nicotine has no way of getting into your lip unless you put it there.
As of now you are just wasting our time. You should take a step back and see what you really want to do.
