So apparently my language is being analyzed by a grammar nazi looking to justify his own weakness?
Let me correct you in your ignorance, before you make a fool of yourself in the long term.
I have quit. And you state " I act like I have my quit handled already on Day 4."
Well let me answer you. "No, you idiot, I had it handled on Day 1." When I chose not to dip again for the rest of my life, I had it handled.
Day 4 is just a walk in the park, as will the rest of my life.
You can call me a retard, but let me remind you, that you will be posting daily roll on this website, praying for strength to go another day, long after I have forgotten this site even exists, and remain dip free without much effort.
Sure, I accept the value of it. Thats why I'm here.
I WAS an addict. I choose not to accept the belief that I AM an addict now and forever. Those who choose that mentality, like those in AA, remain addicts forever.
As for me, I ceased being an addict the day I kicked the addiction, and now I live as a non addict. I am now free of tobacco, not because some neuro receptors in my brain release me, but because I choose to be, the same way I chose to pick up the habit in the first place and created those receptors.
Just like any other non-dipper, I can walk into a store that sells dip, and not give a shit. I WAS an addict. Now I am a recovering addict. Within a few weeks or months, I will be fully recovered and will no longer waste minutes of my life reminding myself of former addictions.
But hey, say what you will. My numbers go up with each day. Put your money where my mouth is and you will wind up a rich man one day. Keep betting against my success and you will relapse far before I do.
Play word games if you want. Sure, I said "my next dip" and yes your correct, in the most elementary of ways, that that does imply that there is another dip in my future. And yes, I suppose, that you are limited to that degree of understanding and I will leave you there.
For those of you that understand what I am saying, those few, and those proud, you understand that we all have a next dip, and the only difference that puts off our next dip to the next day, one day at a time, is our commitment never to dip again. Both to ourselves, and to each other. We ALL have a next dip! The difference between those who take that dip today, and those who ignore it, is the difference between the addict, and the recovering addict.
