So answer me this.

How is it that you could cave while stuck in traffic? Did you take the time to remove yourself from said traffic or did you just happen to have a safety can?
I am sure it magically appeared from the dip fairy who came to give his weak ass a hug. It's hard to quit something when the thing you surround yourself with the stuff you are supposed to be quitting.

I question your seriousness about quitting.
A promise not kept is the road to exile.

If quitting is cool, consider me Myles Davis.

Unless you bring value onto my 1/2 acre, I don't want to hear it.

The next time that you go on a long drive grab some seeds, gum, or fake chew. You cant run away from triggers, especially when one of the triggers is driving a car, so you have to plan ahead and be ready. The fake chew worked great for me when I was working to re-wire my brain and disassociating dipping with things like driving, gaming, watching tv, etc. Over time my brain realized that there was no buzz or "fix" provided by the fake chew, so I literally just lost interest in it. Now, just over 100 days later, a piece of gum every now and then is all i need.

Another suggestion: read this site to keep your mind occupied. I would spend and houror two on here during my first month or so. I still spend quite a bit of time on here each night. I dont post a whole lot, I mostly read. It keeps my mine of dip and reading the other success and failure stories helps ro keep me going.

Welp, I done fucked up. After 14 days of being nicotine free, I slipped up last night. I was about 9 hours into a 12 hour solo car ride and stuck in bad traffic. I didn't realize what a trigger road rage is for me. Anyway, I listened to the devious addict within and caved. It wasn't what my lying mind told me it would be and I felt ashamed instantly and threw that shit away. I am back to my quit and feel like a total asshole for caving, but I now know a huge trigger and will make sure that I am prepared in the future.
Conspicuous in its absence is a roll post yesterday. I don't believe in coincidences. Also conspicuous in its absence is a roll post today.

Are you going to get serious about this? We don't suffer fools well. _
Do I need to switch which thread I post role in?
Yes. You are now in March 2013. Only post roll there if you are committed to this. There is no acceptable reason to cave. None.

You also owe February an explanation.
Done. I am serious about this. I caved because I left myself alone with the addict within for too long. I will not make that mistake again.
Damn man you have to start over.... I feel sorry for you!!! For me never again, not for any reason...I sent you my number.... Try reaching out next time you want to shit on your group....Traffic really for traffic?

This is day 4 of no nicotine for me. Used ~1 can/day for 4 years. I'm in medical school and am sick of being a fucking hypocrite. What kind of doctor uses nicotine? How can anybody respect a person who tells others to stop harming themselves, but then sneaks away and does the same thing? The worst part of it all was the thought that I was a hypocrite. I can't take that. I am done for good. The fog is killer; no concentration, constantly frustrated and angry, thoughts running in circles: "I need my concentration to study. I have an exam next Monday. How am I going to learn all of this shit if I can't focus? How am I going to focus without nicotine?" You know what, fuck you, you conniving addict. This shit sucks, but I am going to push through. I only have to suffer once; if I cave, the suffering will only repeat. I can still learn this shit, I can pass my exam, I will beat nicotine, and I will be not only a better doctor as a result, but a stronger person. One day at a time, one page at a time; I've got this. And, once again, you can fuck off nicotine.
Liked reading the battle as it played out. I loved reading the triumph and victory you had using logic.

Do you have numbers? Texting or calling when logic is gone and addicted emotion takes over....you are going to need to reach out.

PM me if you would like my number. I give it out to support those that truly and willingly work for freedom from vice.

Stay in the good fight. Once you get it out of your system and beat the triggers. You will always be an addict. However, your focus, concentration and work will be so much better than with dip.

I know from experience. Life is better with the burden of posting roll, keeping your word and repeating vs. sticking poison between your cheek and gum.

Welcome to your walk to freedom from vice. Embrace the suck so you never post a day 1 again.
Quit And Be Free

'bang head' What these guys said. Take it off the table each a.m. by posting roll with all us Quitters!!!!

Post roll.
keep your word all day.
Get to sleep.
Wake up and REPEAT!

If i can do it after 30 yrs, 1-2 cans per day, then you can TOO....YOU must DECIDE each a.m. The earlier the better....and YES it does get better. It gets easier to kick the nic bitch in the head and her voice does get much quieter.

It is a victory to be quit through hard work...there is nothing magical or mystical about it....just hard work!

cheers! 'bang head'

Thanks. Posted roll for the first time. As far as I am concerned, tobacco doesn't even exist any more. I have no desire to use tobacco, and even if the desire tries to creep up, it won't beat me. I can't use tobacco. No matter how bad withdrawal gets, it won't kill me and it can't make me use. All I have to do to beat this is nothing.
Now you went and gave me quit wood. Keep that fire in the quit. Channel it at your hate for the nic bitch. She'll be popping back up and lifting her skirt at you soon and repeatedly.

If you continue this quit with an, "If I cave..." attitude, you will sail away on the faggoty ass failboat so fast it'll make your addict head spin just right the hell off. It has to be with the attitude that dipping is no longer something you do. It's just off the table now. Not a fucking option. This is your quit. Your only quit. Failure is not an option either.

So visit the salmon colored welcome center link in the top left hand corner, learn how to post roll, and go do it. Then all you have to do is be a man and keep your word.
