'Crazy' (Nicotine addiction is crazy shit. Dumpster diving to feel worthless? Damn I hate the nic bitch.)

[SirDerek]

I am back. I dumpster dove all weekend as trash doesn't come until tomorrow. I could just as easily have gone to a convenience store but I think I wanted to punish myself and look like a homeless dude rummaging through my own trash for a nic hit. Ridiculous. That said, I said I would quit Friday and I made it half a day. I managed through the weekend with 2 dips a day (rather than the usual 6+). So I will own my shortcoming and embrace the progress. I plan to get on my quit group now and rejoin the fight.

Well, at least you admit it... ridiculous is about the only term that comes to mind.

There are three questions you need to answer, and you've somewhat answered them, but you need to think about them in depth and post them to both your old (May 14) and new (June 14) quit groups.

1. What happened
2. Why did it happen
3. What will you do to keep it from happening again

Sure I will answer the questions here and post in the quit groups as requested:


1. What happened - I felt bad physically after several hours clean and needed a fix. I gave myself credit for going long hours without a dip and rewarded myself. I have cut back by 60% over three days. Honestly I feel better about the 60% of progress than I feel bad about the 40% of caving. Quitting outright is just difficult yet that is the goal.

2. Why did it happen - Old habits die harder than I expected. It is obvious to me I cant quit on my own for more than a short period. I don't want to be a whiner or an asshole or feel dependent on others. I didn't get on KTC this weekend. I didn't talk to anyone about the urges because I knew you wouldn't say "take a dip brother".

3. What will you do to keep it from happening again - I need to get on KTC daily and talk to people. Figure out roll call. I have exercised each of the last three days and that has helped dramatically. I have plans to hit the gym this afternoon. I also am making sure I have my meals somewhat planned in advance. It would be helpful to talk to someone as well but where do I start?

September Sluts, Duck Fips, and other KTCers: This morning I had a long conversation with this new quitter. KTC, this guy here is worth the effort. Please reach out to him.

ByeByeSkoal: post roll every morning, honor your word, and stay active on KTC. You can do this.

Minny you brought some clarity to the fog in my head this morning. I made it through a few more hours. Thanks for taking the time. I really appreciate the advice. Karma baby!

got an addition to your number 3 for how to keep this from happening again.

I will take Minny at his word, but come on over into the Oct12 group. Post up with us madmen and madwomen each day on your way to the hall. Give us your word as well, so that you expand that web of quit.

My phone has lots of room left in it, so if you want the accountability, and want more to watch over, shoot me a pm and my number can be had. And in my time here I have learned to use it.

disclaimer is serious inquiry only....

Thanks for being direct. I get that I need to quit 100%. And trust me I want to. But all that matter is actions. I am getting there. Minny I don't see any message in my inbox??

Check again.

Man I feel like an idiot but when I go to inbox there are no new messages from you. What am I missing???

Send me a PM with your cell #.

Just texted you

[ByeByeSkoal]

listen Byebyeskoal, we've all been there.  It's tough, it sucks, but you we did it and you can too.  It gets so much easier after the first three days.  I'm on day 22 and honestly, I'm worried about getting complacent now.  I have no desire to go get a dip most of the time, which makes it dangerous when that sneak attack craving comes up, but the worst is only the first few days.  You can do it.  I promise you.

Thanks. I want to dip right now to be honest with you. I am just going to keep reading and posting here until the craving goes away. I don't know what else to do.

That's what I did at first: I read Intros and the Welcome Center and everything else KTC that I could find. Drink a TON of water, hit the gym, eat sunflower seeds/jolly ranchers/atomic fireballs, whatever.

It gets better, but you're in for a rough couple of days. You can do this.

Right. I bought protein shakes, candy and plan to buy some seeds. I work in an office by myself a lot so there has been little accountability. My wife didn't even know I dipped for several months until she noticed the stains on my office floor from errant spits.

Right. I am a professional and need to be able to speak and look decent doing so. I am a father and a husband. Skoal is not welcome in my family! She is like a nasty mistress.

You want a dip, you need your jaw
