Today is the Day

[Nolaq]

So, last night my dream was about hitting the Hookah. It is funny how KTC is always an afterthought of these dreams. The dream starts with you blazing like Cheech and Chong; then suddenly you are like: Oh shit, I just broke the promise to all of the guys and gals at KTC.....WHATAMIGONNADO!?!?!?!?!

Tobacco has been a big part of my life. Both my parents smoked for the 18 years I lived with them. My first cig was at 6 yo, and I started using full time by the time I was 15. I started dipping when it became more advantageous for me to do so. Dip is more convenient when you can't take a smoke break. In Iraq I was smoking French cigs and Hookah seemingly every minute of every day. Then when I became Aircrew I never went without a dip in during working hours, unless I was in formation or talking to my CO. I would do 8+ hour flights with a lipper in the whole time.

This quit is probably the hardest thing I have ever done. I have prevailed for 38 days so far. Now I just have to make it one more.

You got this.

If you need to, lean on a brother. I got your back, as do many here.

If you need help, just reach out.

You can do this. If I can, you can.

Gettin' real tired of you "dip dreams"!

Man don't worry about them. I still have them at around 300 days. Few and far between though. I dreamed that James Taylor sold car insurance over the phone last night. What the hell does that mean? We all suck to be addicts. Tonight I'll come by and smack that crap out of yo mouf son!!!!!

Seems like all of my "dip dreams" are actually smoking dreams. I guess it is because I never really liked dipping per se. My preferred method of slow suicide was smoking. Just saying I had another dream last night. I smoked not only one, but two cigarettes back to back. Then I thought about KTC. What scared me most was not the fact that I used again, but the fact that I actually thought of covering it up and posting roll anyway. That ain't me, but the thought was scary none the less. I read a couple days ago that if a person uses nicotine again, the chances are great that they will use again that same day. I was talking to my wife yesterday telling her that if I am going to stay quit, I can NEVER use again. If I do, the whole thing starts over. NAFAR!

Dafuq happened here? Thanks guys. I am about 1/3 of the way to HOF. We all have to have goals in this thing. Short term and long term. My short term goal is obviously making today nic free with my family at KTC, specifically the Sultans of September 2014.

One day at a time is the only way.

That is the bomb... Back when I was a dippin loser I remember thinking about the future... Always kept me from quitting. This is the big difference here. Quit today then get up tomorrow and do it again. Eventually it will turn into 100 days for you, then 200, 300.... But only for today!!!

Hit my 30 day mark on my 30th birthday. I am glad to be quit. I told my Grandmother that I had quit the other day, and she was thrilled. She said that she has been praying for the longest time that I quit before I get cancer. Guess the good Lord concurred that it was a good idea for me to quit and gave me a nudge. My mother has been quit for 3 years now (smoking), and she is equally proud that I have finally taken the plunge. I have a strong support group both within and outside of KTC. Thank you all for helping me quit today. In return, read below for a morsel that I hope will help you quit today as well.

For those of you who have young daughters, think about her in her future prom photo next to her daddy. Does he still have his jaw? Is he even there? Shawn Marsee died at 19 years old after only 9 years of use; most of us have been using for much longer. Who is to say you will even make it in one piece to your daughters prom, graduation, or wedding? Let that sink in a little and help you quit today.

Congrats on 30 days. That is a big time quit. If you are anything like me the next couple of weeks may get shitty as the craves keep rolling in (although weaker) and get sick of fighting trhem off. Keep grinding you will get through that as well.

Dagranger,

Thanks. The cravings are pretty much gone. The oral fixation is still there, and there is a slight temptation when I see the wall of wormdirt at the C-Store (although it is fleeting). For the most part, I think I have the hang of this. Having fellow quitters going through the struggle with me makes everything that much easier. QLF!

Nice 30!

Nice job on the month Dave!

Feeling Great today. I have dreams every now and then, but no more craves. Rarely need the seeds or gum to keep my face busy.

Dave, your signature is trippin' me out!

DK,

Yeah, but is that face still "pretty???? :D

Dragging ass lately bigtime. I miss the initial quit energy I had. Where did THAT shit go?

Get up exercise do something. Your body is fighting back and needs redirected with mental power and testicular fortitude.

Early in my quit I used burpees and pushups to push through the blahs.

It happens Dave, push through it and stay close to the site. Perhaps add a few more smilies to your sig j/k. Stay quit man.
