Another story just like the others

[Sportsfan231]

So today makes day 31, and I have learned a few things about myself along the way. 

Probably the most important thing I have learned so far is that the human mind is the most formidable opponent we will ever face.  From the nagging craves to the "dip dreams" makes the mental aspect of quitting the hardest challenge of all.  To say it is a total mindfuck is an understatement.  If you can be stronger than your own mind then you can be successful today.

I have learned that the following things are possible without that shit in my life;
I can deal with TSA and catch a flight without a dip
It was very, very hard for the first 2-3 days however I can stay in a hotel room by myself without a dip
I can weld just as good/bad without a dip
I can play video games without it
I can teach scouts new skills (even better I might say)

I can live my life everyday.

Today I say  'Finger'  to the nic bitch.

And you can post when others lie.

so when you are not so 'arse' hurt start posting like a true Jackwagin. "take what you need leave the rest" never forget we :wub:

Day 364-  Hard to believe that one year ago I was a complete mess.  I had come to the realization that I am an addict.  I could not believe that I had the ability to quit, nobody knew what it was like, chewing was different than smoking, I was different, I was special.  I now know that all of that was bullshit, all of it was addict speak.  I am an addict just like the next guy.  I had found KTC at this point but was still weary of the methods and while I am normally a truthful person, I could not believe that I would keep my word to a bunch of strangers.  What the fuck is a jackwagin?  On the 28th I would throw out the last of my chew and proceed with my quit.  I quit for the first 10 or 11 days by myself, only reading here.  I would get on here and read and read and read for hours on end.  When I finally posted roll it was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders and I knew I could keep my word.  It was not all roses for sure, but I made the choice everyday to not poison myself.

I would like to thank everyone that helped me through my quit, you probably have even if you don't realize it.  The vets with their words of wisdom and to all of the newbs that remind me of where I do not ever want to go again.  Embrace the suck, but damn I do not want to go back.  Proud to be quit with all of you, Proud to be a Jackwagin!

Where is this guy?

I hate dip dreams.

Never had a dip dream.. what do they entail?

This one happened to encompass something that I am looking forward to next month. The plan is that ERVDM is going to come out to AZ and myself and hopefully a bunch of AZ quitters are going to meet up for dinner....

So we are at dinner, laughing, joking, just having a great time. After dinner I whip out a can of cope and pack one in. Yes, right there in front of about 10 quitters from here. they ask WTF was that and I responded that it was ok because it was only one every couple of months. Then they asked if I posted roll, in the dream I said yes but nobody would mind, it's ok. I woke up at that point and had to convince myself that it was only a dream. I was sweating, shaking, and really confused for a while about whether it was real or not.

Fuck UST, fuck nic.

Use the tools available to you, keep them sharpened, and even things like this will only deepen your resolve to quit today. Once I figured out it was a dream and what it was, I posted roll and I know that above everything else I will stay quit today.

I think you just have butterflies in your stomach just thinking about meeting Vadge. Stick with the program. 'Y'
