I'm scared, excited, scared, anxious, scared, fidgety, and scared... Tomorrow, I will be one of the first (of hopefully many) to join the January 2011 quit group.
It will be my second quit attempt through this website, the first lasting 59 days. I'm a can/day Skoal pouches fiend.
I have spent alot of time reading the articles and HOF speeches on here the past few weeks, something I didn't do the first quit. I believe I now have the knowledge needed to kick this addiction for good. I caved on my first quit when I smoked a cigarette, just looking for a "tiny" fix during a mentally excrucating crave. My rationale was that cigarettes were never a problem for me in the past so I wouldn't come running back to dip if I had one cigarette. Wrong... Way fucking wrong... After that cigarette, I had a dip in my mouth in less than two hours.
This time, I have taken the time to use and research all the tools this website makes available. I now know that there is no difference between a recovering alcoholic and a recovering nicotine addict. Alcoholics can never have another drink, and I can never EVER have another milligam of nic in my body. Even "once in a while" cigars are no longer an option... Or I will be right back to a can a day.
Anyway, my name is Script, and tomorrow is Day 1 of my final quit.
