smiller1207- 73- I was home alone this past Monday (wife at work and I did not go back until Tuesday). First time I had a whole day to myself since I began my quit. As soon as my wife walked out the door, an intense craving hit with that little bitch of a voice inside my head..."You could just have one dip today and go right back to your quit. It would be easy to do and just not tell anybody". That fucking voice kept getting louder. I finally got on this site and read some of the heartbreaking stories. I got out my "give up" contract and read it. I went outside and just wandered around my yard (probably looked like a crazy dude to my neighbors). I didn't care. Finally, after about an hour of "intense arguing with that voice", it went away. That was day 71. It was a reminder that you might go weeks without a craving and then one day, it will hit you like a freight train. Stay vigilant. Do not give into that nicotine devil who will give you every excuse to have a dip. Stay strong my brothers!!
