I am done with this habit

[traumagnet]

Today is a another "day 1". I previously quit June/July of 2012. I got through the first hurdles. I was good to go... I made it through 6 months.... And then January hit... WOrk got real... I got weak... and started my subtle slide back down into the pit.... The lies, the concealing spitters, the hiding cans... Working in construction made it easy to do it at work, but that was just an excuse for my weakness...

I read my introduction to force myself to look in the mirror and figure out "what's changed?" why this time? Why won't the nic bitch take back over...

Is this time different? The answer is yes and no... It is the exact same as last time... I want to end the lies, and end the habit that controls me.... It is different in perhaps the most important way possible... I am wiser and no longer naieve enough to believe that I will ever be "cured". I will get to the HOF... I will get beyond the HOF... I will get to 2+ hofs (if that is even a term), but I will never be cured. I will always have to be vigilant of the evil nature that lurks when I get sloppy and succumb to the nicotine whore....

Well you only get one thread a mod can fix that for you. Just a quick look at your total posts and your join date YOUR plan had holes a shit ton of holes...
It still has holes we dont worry about 100 days from now we focus on today only...the rest dont matter. I think you should really try on the the 3 questions again....

What happened?
Why did it happen?
What are going to do differently next time?

Do some reading lots of it get involved this time be accountable. Brotherhood Accountabilty Success POST ROLL is how this place works.

Thanks for the support so far.

I feel stupid for not having done this sooner, but not going to look back now.

Roll is posted, and I am in for the long, down and dirty haul.

This is not a habit. It is an addiction. You are addicted. So am I.

Yep. No reason to pretend that just because you're not in an alley with a needle in your arm that this is a habit.

Good Morning KTC Folks,

I have been looking at this site for several months on and off trying to prepare myself for the quit.  I have tried numerous times in the past to quit, and would be successful for a week, maybe 2.  I would fight the urges, I would fight the cravings, and get through them, and then finally I would get sick of fighting, or get weak from the fight and cave in.  After all, one dip cant set me too far back right?.  Then one led to the excuse for the next one, and in no time flat I was back on the dipping wagon.

This post today is to say no more.  I look forward to not having to hide spitters, conceal cans, lie to my fiance, and worst off all lie to myself about pretending to quit.

I look forward to talking with you all, and hopefully as I get stronger, I look forward to helping others quit this despicable habit.

Thanks
-Dan
