I went through the same thing bro. Its very hard when you feel like everyone is poking you with a hot stick no matter who they are.

You're certainly not a piece of shit (unless you kicked a puppy or punched a midget clown today). You made the best decision you could to see those little ones for as long as you can: you stopped putting a turd in your mouth.

I chose exercise to get me through that anxious period. Beat myself into the ground running and biking. Some old chain gang mentality that a tired body leads to a soul at rest.

When I look at my kids, I think "Jeez...its certainly going to be nice to be in their wedding photos with my entire face in place". If that doesn't help, I count to 10 out loud. Slows everyone down. If that doesn't help, I walk away and distract for a second by thinking about watermelon sized breasts.

Mmmmmmmmm....watermelon sized breasts......not I'm distracted.... 'boob'

i should have added with beer flavored nipples.

You had me at watermelon...

Boobs !!

'drool'
It's not that some people have willpower and some don't... It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.

NEVER AGAIN !!

"I have been down here before, I know the way out. "

There is a huge difference between a commitment of 99% and a commitment of 100%

I'm day 15 quit, and I can't remember if I introduced myself or not, since I'm quit, I don't have a lot of time to post as I try to occupy myself with the time I've wasted dipping. I'm Dan, and definitely an addict. But what is pissing me off is that I have over 150 a day as I teach, and I'm patient most of the time, but when I get home, I'm not. Its bullshit, and not fair to my own kids. Tell me it will stop. I have trouble explaining being quit to them as they are all younger than 6 and I really don't want to ever know or remember daddy with "candy in his mouth and I don't have anymore to give you". I'm a piece of shit. Any strategies out there??? Thanks.

Dan...trust me...it WILL stop...read my speech and my story about my kids...link below. I would have rather been an assbite to them for a couple of weeks...than what I was for the first mid to late teens of their lives.

Cancer and Death will not work on your Time Table, why work on Theirs - Quit Today.
If you fail to plan, plan to fail.
The older I get, the better I was - made an even bigger improvment the day I quit dip.

Excellent HOF speech, thank you for the read and helping me understand what I have missed and could have missed with my family. I am grateful.

I teach little kids. I have little kids. It will pass.

It might take some time, but you really NEED to either get involved here (bitch at us), or get some numbers and call or text a brother and bitch at them.

If you need a number, PM me.

I also have little kids, and at work I deal with people who act like little kids. That counts' right? Anyway, the anger and rage will be short term. The positive, healthy "after nicotine" version of you will last forever. That is what your kids will remember. In the meantime, if you are married or involved, that can be a big help. I kept my wife in the dark for a long time, but the smartest thing I ever did was to get her involved in my quit. SHe read a bunch on here (spouses section is great) and then she realized what I was dealing with. She had no idea it was an actual addiction with actual physical and mental effects. She just thought I was being an ass because I wanted to. Once she was on board, we could work as a team. She recognized the rage for what it was and was glad to cover for me if I walked away for a few minutes. She knew the end result would be worth it. Several times I just went outside to cool down and the kids would ask some crazy question when I got back like "did you get the lawnmower fixed?". I'd just say yes and smile a thank-you to my wife. You get the idea. Did I mention that I managed to quit with 2-year-old twins at home? It can be done. We can help. Let me know if you ever need anything.
