Finally Time to Do This!

[JB65]

It's a good thing I know that I'm an addict! I've had plenty of dip dreams, but last night's takes the cake. I dreamt that I bought a can and had one dip before throwing it away. In the dream I went on abstaining from nicotine after the one dip.

Obviously this is my mind trying to tell me that "one more" is okay. I'm so glad that I know I'm an addict. The daily struggle gets easier all the time, but times like this still test my resolve.

Fu......... that sucks. Man, its amazing what that drug can do to our minds.

Man, I had some wicked cravings all last week at work. I just hit the seeds and made it through. If I didn't know I was an addict, this would be when the "just one more" would get me. I've been off the fake for over 4 months, but I think I might order some to get through times like that.

Man HT, i went through the same thing. toughest days were 100-175. For some strange reason. I guess wheat snapped me out of it was going into INTROS every day, spending time helping newbies get started. Everyday i would post then spend time there and in General discussions. Eventually I recommitted myself to my quit, and snapped out of it

Funny this week i was at a conference, and some guy had pouches, i opened it up and took a whiff, and i almost passed out and puked at the same time!

Live Chat was never my thing, but maybe try that. Glad to be quit with you today

Obviously HighTon knows what he's doing and doesn't need to post roll daily to save himself. :P

I wouldn't bother mentioning it but I am some a-hole vet who just needs to kick folks when they are down... 'Finger'

You sir, are a jackass. Go troll someone else; I'm not around enough anymore for chumps like you to bother me.

I wasn't trying to bother you. My point was that you aren't around at all so what is the point of this intro thread? You're cured so enjoy it! B)B

I was told when I first joined KTC to document my journey in the intro thread. I don't think there is a prerequisite that I'm here everyday? I posted about my craving so that others realize it still happens and it's just as bad as the beginning.

I have never once said that I was cured. In fact I repeatedly say that I'm still an addict. I tell myself this daily because I know I can't get too relaxed in my quit. We all have to be vigilant to succeed.

YES! We all need to stay vigilant with our quits. Being here daily may help someone else and I think it often does. When that happens it's like scoring bonus points. I really think that staying connected to this site every day makes my own quit stronger. Good to see that you've been here a lot lately. :)

Brother,
Come back in and post during these times. August always has a spot for you and you can always lean on us. We are there for you.

I don't know how long my last stoppage was before I quit, but it was around 270 days. So this is the longest I've went without nicotine in more than 25 years. The difference this time is that I know I'm an addict that can't have just one more.

HOF is a great goal for a new quitter, but 271 has been the real first goal for me all along. It still gets easier every day and personally even easier now that I don't have to think about my number every day. The powers that be around here refuse to understand that for some reason? I wrote it on my fridge calendar when I would get to this day.

I'm not sure how it will be taken that I'm posting this, but my hope is that reading this will help a new quitter. I know it would have helped me in those first few weeks. I was going to rail against the leadership here again, but I decided not to waste my time. I'll just say that I still don't "get it" like the vets said that I someday would. I'm still holding out hope that I will one day; for now I'm much better without the stress.

Congrats on 271 days! What is your next goal and what is your plan to reach that goal?

Congratulations HT getting close 3rd floor, you proved me wrong, damn glad you did. I didn't figure you would make it a mnth! Great job keep it coming

I don't really have another goal in mind; I guess it will be to make it through hunting season again. To make that goal I will continue to remind myself daily that I am an addict; one more is not an option. Believe me, I hear the whisper often.

Making a daily promise is no protection; you have to really want to quit. That's awesome if you need that daily promise to stay quit, do what it takes. I know all of you vets see the guys that come here all gung ho and cave; they weren't serious. Even though I don't post daily anymore, if I caved tomorro I would still feel like I let down everyone in august 16.
