What happened - I used the tools for 270 days. Legitimately. That is not an exaggeration and people can challenge that or whatever - but I 100% used the tools. I posted 99.9% role and texted a group of guys every single day. Every day. I reached out and was honest when I felt weak. I helped out the newcomers. It worked.
I think as time went on, I found myself spending less time on the site, not posting roll until later in the day and got a bit lax. Ultimately, in the middle of February, I went on a deep emotional tailspin for a few days (unrelated to dip), didn't reach out to fellow quiters (to be honest, didn't think about dipping), but got very fatalistic in my world view. I wasn't suicidal, but for a few day span I gave up on life. I won't get into the specifics unless someone wants to really know and I can PM them. In that time period, I caved. The day before I caved, I went to bed I was shaking over this emotional tailspin (again, no thought of nicotine in my mind). The next day, I said fuck it. I had posted roll in the morning, texted guys as well. At around 1pm, the thought crossed my mind, and that was it. For the last four weeks, I've been dipping.
That's fine if you want to label me as a serial quitter. I'm on day one and not making excuses. What am I going to do differently? In terms of actions, I'm going to do what I did before. In terms of my mind - I must completely destroy the idea that I can get back again if I ever caved. I need to fully get into my bones NAFAR. That is the thing that got me fucked.
To the men of August 2014 and June 2014 - I am sorry.
I'm ready for the abuse. If it strengthens your quit - awesome.
