New quit

[RAZD611]

Is there such a thing as a "ninja quitter"? I was so secret with my family and friends, no one even knows what I am up  to except my wife. I have to sneak my fake dip around my kids.

The best thing you can do is let all that you can know you are quitting. Add them one and all to your accountability web. Stop being a coward.

I know I can not quit alone. I have tried many times and proven that.
I am glad my kid do not know I dipped and I hope they never will.
glad to be quit today.

Maybe, but if so how would we know. More importantly how could you reach out for support if you were a "ninja quitter." I know you are a "real quitter," Banjo. Keep on sneaking the fake dip if it works for you.

You are not a "ninja quitter" here. You are just a quit.

Hey man... I was a ninja dipper at work for years and years. That's in the past. Over.

You are doing great. I quit with you.

day 13. work is the hardest place. I had no problem dipping all day at work if I wanted. I tried to hide it for a few years, but eventually everyone knew anyhow and I was blatant about it. I get by with fake dip and lifesavers.
I cant logon to KTC at work and I don't have a smartphone, so texting and communicating at night on KTC is a big help.

I just discovered the live chat room the other day, cool to chat up with some fellow quitters.

staying quit for today.

thanks mogul. whatever it takes today! I get up at 0520 to post roll. I have started getting up 10 minutes earlier to do so. i get to reading posts and have to remember to get going to work.

[Mogul]

Banjo, hey brother! Think about this. Those hard days where we struggle to stay quit, well, those days are where we build character.. That's when you are a winner. The easy days are where we build up strength for the tougher ones. Stay tough and look those hard days right in the face and be stronger. Be a winner.

thanks fn. I felt much stronger today. (BTW- Im in Maryland too). I quit with you today.

thanks menace. the other key is the true to desire to quit. I don't think I have ever had that until now. I have stopped before for short periods, but only when my wife caught me and I had to get her off my back. This time I really want to quit and stay quit.

Banjo, You have the mindset to quit. Just carry though with it each day. The fog sucks and it will eventually clear. It doesn't get any easier at first, but you already know that. Many of us including myself have been in your shoes as ninja dippers. The common thread between most was that we would get caught, tell a lie, get pissed off at yourself/spouse/girlfriend and then attempt a halfhearted quit. It sucked.

You are in a good place now that you have a true desire to quit. Just show up, post roll each day and close that door on nicotine. I'm quit with you today.

sort of rough day 6- glad to see it end. just shitty day at work and feeling down. really stupid thoughts set in and the addiction can really f me up. my biggest problem is staying in the day. I cant think about the future. That's what gets me screwed up. I think about the fact my wife is heading out of town and I will be home alone, or the fishing trip that isn't until may, or that tradeshow I will be going to I in January.....all these were times when I would dip (but really I dipped almost everyday anyhow, so this would be no different). just screwy thoughts.

but I stayed quit today, and getting back here reading the posts gets my mind straight again

I stayed quit with you all day. Don't give in to the demon. You are not going to have fun fishing in if you don't have a jaw. ODAAT.

Hey banjo, get tough man! You can do this. Post roll early each day, then you're locked in to your promise to not use nicotine. As long as you're a man of your word you're good to go. You also need to get some accountability. PM some fellow fishermen and get some numbers. You need accountability to make this work. I have 3 kids and had a tumor removed fromy jaw a couple years ago. Luckily I still have te jaw. I'm finally serious about quitting, and KTC is the toolkit for the quit. Follow the KTC plan and stay strong. PM some people and get those numbers in your phone. I quit with you brother. Reach out anytime you need help.

Banjo- you're doing this! For Friday, suck it up and get tough, Push through the fog or whatever else that nicbitch throws at you! Every trick she throws is one more you'll teach her isn't going to work on you anymore. You are earning your freedom, and only you can do that--- we can help guide you, but it's you who has to keep your mind made up. I'll be quitting with you!
