Every day here recently, I have been getting the urge to stop at the gas station and get a can on the way to work. Thoughts keep racing through my head. "Nobody on KTC will know if you just get one." I keep hearing that over and over.
BUT, I would know!!!!
Good job owning your quit!
Time to start examining WHY you want to make that stop. Break it down.
Will the dip taste wonderful? No, it will taste like shit especially after 39 days of quit.
Will it help you relax? No, it never did
Will it help you concentrate? No, it never did
Will it make you feel better? No, it will fill you with shame and self-loathing for having failed.
Will it give you anything positive at all? You know the answer.
and
Will it give me anything negative? again you know the anser.
Run those questions through your head when the nic bitch whispers in your ear. Bottom line she has nothing for you. Easy to move on...
I've been there many times. Never forget, you are an addict. Those thought are the addict inside trying to justify and get you to forget your honor.
When I was at that point, I did exactly what you did. I told my support about it. I even called. One time those thoughts hit me and I decided not to call...All be damned it I didn't get a text from a brother asking me if I was all right.
You have protection because of honesty. Addiction must lie to live. 100% honesty chokes and starves the addict in you.
Get pissed! Fuck the nic bitch. NO means NO. I know little nicky will poke around. from time to time but my impulse now is NO or Pause. Never a knee jerk to surrender everything I put into this separation.
Finally, It may be true that we may never know. More than likely, we will know, but what is worse...you will know, you will be a liar and your addiction will have the bigest boner and screw you! You feed your addiction and are back to being what you were sick and tired of.
So using is a greater burden on you than working to keep your word today. I hate that sneaky bitch nicotine. She is a sham, she is a killer of your mind, body and spirit. She decieves you and robs you and has control of you.
Never ever ever forget that the burden of fighting a craving and staying quit is so much more valuable and rewarding the the bruden of using and feeling like shit.
Stay strong and tell your addicted mind to please leave your head. You have your life to go live now....
