Okay Kurt. Got yourself a day 2. Solid shit right there. Let's close out the trifecta and get you past the 72 hour mark of no nic. From there on out, its a mental battle bro. And you will not be alone in this battle. You put your word down each morning and you stick to your word. I don't care if you stuff mule cock in your pie hole, you do whatever it takes to keep your word. That means getting on the site. Asking for help if you need. We'll get you through. The key is knowing that folks are here to help. We love to help. Keeps folks focused on quitting and making changes and become the men and women we are suppose to be.
You can do this. I'm an addict. I figured it out. You will too. Let's fight.
Good words of encouragement.
Just posted in the may 2012 prehof class.
Something like this.
Saturday around noon was when I spit out my last dip. So tomorrow afternoon will be my 72 hour mark.
Tomorrow will also be my first day at work nic free.
I always had a cigarette with my coffee. Love to throw a dip in while at work.
Any advice? tips?
I will definitely have my can of mint snuff.
Anything ideas or tips you got to make sure I dont lose it and go off on a coworker??
Few things Kurt...
Change your patterns. Get a cup of coffee from a different spot tomorrow. Do it somewhere that you wouldn't or couldn't have any nicotine. That's what I did. I changed up my patterns. Everything. Fucked with my head so my craves were forced to deal with new situations and thoughts. Made it harder and harder for them to get a hold of me. I set the framework. Not the craves.
Rage. That's the real fucker. You getting any exercise? A tired body puts a man's soul at rest. Some old chain gang mentality. You feel the rage coming on you go for a walk. You find some stairs. You find a tranny clown and kick the shit of him...her...whatever. You can always get on the site and start yelling at me. I just love to cuss Kurt. I would love to cuss at the nic bitch with ya anytime. It helps me sleep peaceful.
Get yourself something to pacify with during the day. I'm a big red fan. The tingle gives my lip the feel it wants.
You got numbers Kurt? Get some numbers of folks in your group. If things get tough, you got to know that you can reach out and someone will fight with you.
We'll get this done bro.
I've got a number, and have been pming another guy in my prehof class. Both are within a day or 2 of the same quit date.
I always make my coffee at home. Today I really enjoyed my coffee with a mint snuff. I suppose I'll just do that tomorrow. Hope for the best.
Fortunately my work is usually physical which may tire me or may give me dip rage. Either way, I'm going to embrace the suck. And before that, I'm gonna post roll, and keep my word. Tomorrow is a no nicotine day for me.
Kurt, I'm going to be honest with you. You're scaring me. I want you off of this shit, but you are being too timid with it. I will absolutely NOT "HOPE FOR THE BEST" and neither should you. You will not hope, you will not try, you will not give it your best, you will fucking quit.
Souliman is giving you gold, and he has your back. Asking questions is what you're supposed to be doing, don't get me wrong. I just feel like you're suggestable. Your uncle told you that smoking was for women, and dip is for men, so you started dipping? Well, let me put some suggestions in your ear.
Being timid is for women. I want to hear some anger Kurt. I want to know that you're going to commit to this. I want you so pissed off at nicotine that you would rip your own guts out and eat them, then...POLITELY goddamit... ask for seconds.
I want to know why you are going to (notice I said "are going to" not "want") to stay quit. This is a decision that YOU made on YOUR OWN. And you should be proud of it!
This is NOT EASY. As you well know by now. But look man, this first 72 hours is not the end of it, not by a long shot. You need to be strong in your convition to do this, and frankly, I'm not hearing it.
I better fucking not come back to this thread and see Dippshit has written a BIG RED "FAIL" on it. Let me see your conviction Kurt! Right now man!
