Quitting Dip Through Life’s Hardest Moments
There are a lot of KTC sayings to cover this bullshit. NAFAR – NEVER AGAIN FOR ANY REASON, BURN YOUR BOATS, etc. I, like many on KTC have had some tough parts of life during my quit….
Day 309: my oldest brother died. 51 years old… throat cancer….. I did not cave because shoving cancer dirt in my pie hole wasn’t going to bring my brother back.
Day 1612 my father died. Lung cancer. I did not cave because eating dog shit was not going to bring him back.
Day 1862: my wife (now ex) moved out. I did not cave, because tobacco had nothing to do with it, and that door was bolted shut, Never again for ANY reason.
Day 2019: after a summer of trying to reconcile/fix the marriage, My ex served me with divorce papers. I did not cave because chew wasn’t going to fix my marriage.
Day 2384 My divorce became final. I did not cave because any problem+dip=2 problems. Dip only fixes the withdrawal caused by…. dip.
Day 2639 My bother Gary died. 55 years old, cancer. I did not cave because there was no going back to being an addict.
If your quit is so fragile that it depends on things going ok in life, if there is any circumstance in which you would cave, the door is not closed and you are just marking time until your next cave.
Commit to you quit. Burn your damn boats, there’s no going back. Never again for ANY reason.
