I'm 32. Married. A high school teacher. 1 3 year old girl and another girl on the way. This quit is for me. But it's also for them. One day I will walk them down the isle. God grant me the strength to overcome my weakness for this addiction.

You stick with that and you're gold. It's how we do things here. All in. If you haven't already, take the time to soak up everythying this site has to offer. Everything you need is here. Also... get to know your quit brothers and sisters. Get some numbers, make some connections, be accountable. I'm a fellow July bro from last year. If I can do this you can do this. Let me know if I can be of any help. Welcome to freedom... it's pretty damn cool.

Struggling some brothers. End of day 1. Like emotional feel like such a sissy. But just randomly cried for no reason. That normal? Or am I just a wuss?

Normal. Your goal is to win, minute by minute. Crying is ok. Poisoning yourself is not. You are taking your life back in a war against a formidable enemy. There are tears in wars. You are winning battles every minute.
You can do this. You are doing this. Life is more important than a plant in a can. You are taking the first steps toward freedom. And you won't believe how sweet freedom is, because it's been do long since you've seen it.
You might be feeling messed up today, but today is the best day you've had in a lot of years. Today is yours. Keep fighting bud... I have yet to see a single person say "man I wish I'd never quit." Just typing that is illogical!!!!
My number is in a pm to you. Nice work today.

First couple of days of my quit, my emotions were all over the place also. Pretty much back to normal by day 5. I'd say what you are going thru is normal. You can do this!! Stay quit.

Ahhhh, the realization that the bitch had us pussywhipped. The farther you separate yourself from her, the uglier she becomes. You're letting go of something that was a huge part of your life. The mistress is there no more. Emotional swings are normal. Hang in there. You got this.

Thanks bros. all really helpful things

Andrew, Let it suck right up to the point you can't take it anymore. (I will get back to this point). You need to remember this. You need to etch this sucky feeling into your brain so that you will never want to go through it again. You know they say we Americans have a short memory and I agree. We need to be more aware of the episodes in our lives and not discount them so quickly. So, back to my point. Let it suck right up to the point where you can't take it anymore. Right to the edge and then............It's all up to you and what you choose to do with it. I got pissed, I was pissed that I let something control me. I was pissed that I was having to fight for my life against something that I welcomed in. That's hard because you first have to admit that you were wrong, and none of us want to do that. Then you have to admit you are an addict. Then, you can submit to that addiction and go back or you can get pissed and win. You make the decision, just you, not us, wife, kids, preacher, or anybody else. This is a soul embracing moment and it may happen dozens of times. You must win each time. We here at KTC have been there, and we will give guidance, encouragement, and sometimes a little piss and vinegar but we all want you to stay quit. It is so nice when you break through the virginity of a quit.

Andrew,
My name is Andrew also, and I am a middle school teacher. I won't wish you luck because we don't need luck to kick the addiction. We need will-power. Stay strong and take it one day at a time. If you need anything, pm me.

Welcome aboard Andrew. This war has lots of ups and downs but you don't have to battle it alone. We are all addicts and are in the same war, some of us have already fought the battles your in now and are here to give you a hand just as there are those that have fought the battles I'm fighting. Check your inbox (1) I left you my #. The brotherhood is a very powerful tool in winning.

Welcome to day 3! The nicotine is almost out if your system for the first time in a hell of a long time! The physical symptoms will leave, and as long as you post your promise, keep your word, and lean on the brotherhood you can overcome the mental games. Congratulations on 2 strong days of winning. The gain is very very worth the pain.
-
Actually it is even more than willpower. This site will help you develop a better understanding about how little nicotine did for you. Actually it never did ANYTHING good for you. It is all just a bullshit lie, and we played the sucker. This site will also help you develop a hatred for UST and nicotine in general.
Buckle down for day 4, it is a rough one, but you can do it.
-
Glad you found us. Shout if you need personal assistance.
-
Awesome to see you post today Andrew! Let's keep it up, we got this on lock down!
-
Bump to the top. You posted you caved in the July board, do we get an explanation? Do we get Day 1, or the 3 questions answered? Or is it we battled together in July for 100+ days, you praise God daily, but you had a bad weekend and now you are done? You owe us more than that Andrew.
-
You're just gonna say "I caved", and then run like a pussy? That's weak, dude. I think your brothers deserve a little better than that.
-
ANSWER THE THREE QUESTIONS then get on with posting day 1 and starting over. Do something different this time Andrew if you want to succeed. Get involved with your new quit group.

That's all we ever got. Post roll and run

That being the case, I guess it's not surprising that he caved. Probably could have seen this one coming.
