Title: it is time for war
Post by: barefootAdam on May 14, 2015, 01:21:00 PM
i am registered as barefootAdam. i chose that b/c i love to run completely barefooted, road and trails, not b/c i am a hippy, but b/c it hardens me. anyway, my name is adam and i am ready to kick this crap to the curb. 36 years old and dipping for 2 years but am up to a can a day. quit cold turkey back in january and was quit for about 6 weeks but let my guard down one day and it was like i had never quit. i had actually quit a few times before that for about 4 days each. i am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. looked all around for help and called a quitline and it was all "use the patch b/c of blah blah blah" so i bought patches. i just feel like using a patch is like taking a band-aid off slowly. i'd rather just rip the band-aid off, feel the pain from it to know i am alive, and come out the other side.

i know what's about to happen with the withdrawal symptoms, and having gone through it a few times, am ready to go through it one last time and never have to go through them again.

i just have to keep my guard up afterwards and that's where i will need the most help.

i posted my quit date as 5/15/2015 b/c i have had a patch on this morning so i have had nicotine today and well, 5/15/15 is really easy to remember.

thanks.

First off. Welcome to KTC. This place was built by quitters, for quitters. Every single person here has been were you are at. Your quit day is today. I recommend going to the August quit group and posting roll with them. They will be your rock during the suck you are about to endure.

Some tips early on that helped me:
1. Drink lots of water.
2. Read everything you can on the site and in the forums.
3. Drink lots of water.
4. Exchange digits with some quitters, chat with people, get to know the people in your group, and start building that accountability.
5. Drink lots of water.
6. Get some seeds, gum, fake, mints, or whatever you need to keep that oral fixation at bay.
7. Drink lots of water.

You have made a great choice in quitting. The strategy here is one day at a time. You can keep your word for one day right?

Day 1 is the day you decide to rip that patch off and take back your life. The reason for this is because it is a promise. Assuming your a stubborn SOB when it comes to being a man of your word, if you wake up and make your promise, your quit all day and you can take that shit to the bank. Welcome foot.

update:

some good, some bad.

bad:
would stop for 2 days then i was getting headaches and blurry vision and couldn't work (sql dba). then would get a dip and headache would stop but dang, just starting over. got about 3 days in and what did i do? i drank a couple of beers and so goes my resolve. caved. i lost a couple of battles but will not loose the war. the problem is that i lost those battles, imho, by not arming myself with knowledge and acknowledging that i am a nicotine addict.

good:
i don't want to proclaim this or that; boasting about what tomorrow brings has humbled me every time. i will be posting roll tomorrow. thank you all for the responses and thank you to anyone who has anything to do with site.

thanks!

Bro This is jacked up!

Your roll post was: barefootAdam - the body is a temple. keep it holy.
Then you post this update?

How long you been running barefoot? Maybe its time to just walk with some shoes on.

If you really want to quit.
Tell me these Four things.

Why are you quitting?
Why did you fail?
What could you do different?
What are you going to do now to be quit?

You will owe answers to your quit group, but this is a great place to start the process of getting your thoughts together.

We don't try here...... We do.
We make a promise and stand on the integrity of our word.
Right now your integrity rating is in the......... who is going to battle/war with you, when at the first sight of pain you turn tail and run????

When it gets hard... we reach out for help and work through the suck of being tired and having headaches.
We build teams of accountability so we will not be defeated by the enemy.
We stand strong Every Damn Day, One Day At A TIME, shoulder to shoulder.

You are an addict. You will not quit on your own. You need support.

Don't mock this sight.....
We are Quit
You play by the rules here or go find somebody to sweet talk you elsewhere. (Bla Bla Bla)

Answer the questions. 'Popcorn'

Post by: Steakbomb18 on May 26, 2015, 09:42:00 PM
Let me give you the update...and it's ALL bad. You caved AND you're trying to justify it by saying it humbles you? What the fuck is that? Seriously...what, the, fuck, is that? I'll tell you what that is, it's lame and it's weak. That is the same exact result you've had every other time you "tried" quitting.

You want me or anyone here to quit with you? Then F'ing do it. You register on May 14th, but have 5 damn posts to show for it. Nice roll posting % you got going. If you can show me that you can quit for 30 days, post roll 100% of the time, and average 4 posts/day to prove your involvement; then maybe...just maybe you'll earn a sliver of respect back from me. Until then, you're just a poser and a troll. Figure it out and stop wasting our time.

If you want to see what a real quitter looks like, reference my boy Rawls above; he's a freakin' jedi of quit.

Listen up Adam....these guys are trying to set you on the path that leads to freedom from nicotine. Either do, or do not....but don't come in here with the lame attitude. You CAN do this. You just have to make up your mind that you're going to. And I second Steakbomb's advice....read, very carefully, what Rawls had to say above.

i deserve all of that. and what everyone else says. i'm not saying that caving humbled me. i am saying that i am cautious to say "i will do this" or "i will do that" b/c every time i do, i wind up on my butt. when i keep secret my plans, i i find myself more successful. "your body is a temple, keep it holy" is my inspiration. it is what i am striving for, not what i am an example of. i am an example of failure but i won't give up.

i am NOT mocking this site nor am i a troll. there are some people here who have reached out to me and i couldn't be more grateful for them nor more grateful that the wake-up call that is this thread.

I hope you understand why people are being hard on you. If others hold your hand and tell you that a slip up is ok, then you'll go right back to caving. There are no small "slip-ups" when it comes to quitting this stuff. I'm only on Day 2 and my head is absolutely pounding. But this is the fight that we have. The pain is worth it.

When you cave, you hurt yourself and those that are quitting with you. You need accountability and I need it as well. As a fellow quitter in your Quit Group, I need you to get your head on straight for the both of us.

But these are the rules of this sight.
You post roll with integrity or your out!
You have to let the old you die.
You can never go back.
Give it time...
The new you will be worth it.

Copy your response and post it in September..... Then follow their instructions.

I assure you it won't be easy....
They are going to hammer you to the wall....... Hoping someday you will realize they are (we) only trying to save your life.

I quit with you .. When you give your answers to September and promise to post roll Every day!

HEY, Barefoot Adam, get your ass into your new home and your old home to answer the 3 caver questions. And please do not simply regurgitate the crap that you spewed out in here about drinking causing you to cave. No, think harder and come up with the real reason you caved. I will give you a hint: it has to do with you only posting roll once before you caved.

Can you? Don't fail yourself there's something called freedom waiting for you! I quit with you today!

"It's time for war"....

Way to dig in and "go to war", Sally.

How about this...STOP fucking drinking for a month or two and get serious about quitting.

If you can run around barefoot, surely you can give up drinking for a bit, no?

Quit being a little bitch and talking yourself in circles and just fucking quit...ONE DAY AT A TIME.

What has 4 wheels and flies? A garbage truck.

Who caves after a few days and some drinks? A pussy by the named barefoodAdam.

Stop being a bitch and man the fuck up or get to steppin...bare foot.

update:

some good, some bad.

bad:
would stop for 2 days then i was getting headaches and blurry vision and couldn't work (sql dba). then would get a dip and headache would stop but dang, just starting over. got about 3 days in and what did i do? i drank a couple of beers and so goes my resolve. caved. i lost a couple of battles but will not loose the war. the problem is that i lost those battles, imho, by not arming myself with knowledge and acknowledging that i am a nicotine addict.

good:
i don't want to proclaim this or that; boasting about what tomorrow brings has humbled me every time. i will be posting roll tomorrow. thank you all for the responses and thank you to anyone who has anything to do with site.

thanks!

I hope you understand why people are being hard on you. If others hold your hand and tell you that a slip up is ok, then you'll go right back to caving. There are no small "slip-ups" when it comes to quitting this stuff. I'm only on Day 2 and my head is absolutely pounding. But this is the fight that we have. The pain is worth it.

When you cave, you hurt yourself and those that are quitting with you. You need accountability and I need it as well. As a fellow quitter in your Quit Group, I need you to get your head on straight for the both of us.
Barefoot,

Take it from a fellow caver from July '14 (Now January '15) who caved after 167 days of stoppage: If you truly desire to be QUIT then you will take this site seriously. Your lack of judgment effects not only you but all of us on KTC. Despite the fact that we don't know each other personally the fact of the matter is that you pissed on everyone in your quit group as well as me. Your cave effects me. I don't trust your answers either. The only way that you can prove to us on KTC that you are serious about QUITTING is by manning up  taking your lumps  continuing to move forward by posting roll EDD. If you want genuine support from anyone than you need to own it  post roll. Get your head out of the clouds  do some serious reflection. Turn off all the technology  get outside for a little bit. Take it all in. Shoot me a PM  we can dive into this a little further if you truly want to be QUIT. Other wise I won't be supporting you.

it is. i stopped a few times on my own before coming here and i know that hell all too well (first few days).

i am tired; physically, emotionally, spiritually. i am only going through the process of withdrawal one more time but i can't do it on my own.

You definitely aren't on your own brother. I feel your pain I promise. It sucks every single minute. But if you think about it, if you are done with this shit. You only have to go through this once and then you are free. That's the way I've looked at it the last 4 days. Plus what other option do you have? Loose your life because of something so stupid. I think not. You can beat this!

Barefoot Bubba,

Need to listen to this dude. He knows a thing or three about quitting.

Hey bud. How are you doing today? You are a f*cking Viking Warlord when it comes to helping others (like me) smash down the cravings. Great group text this weekend. Just want to be sure you're kicking ass on your end as much as you are helping your Samurai bros and sisters.
