Howdy gents ..
Gearing up for a Nov. 1 quit date. Been usin' for 36 years! Yep .. started on the Cope when it was 33 cents a can back in my high school days. I'll have to do the math and figure out just how many thousands of dollars I've spent over all this time. I'm sure I'll cringe.
Had my hits and misses "quitting" over the decades, and time to give it a serious and final go.

Quit now - quit for life.

Quit for October 29th. Don't worry about the rest. Don't even worry about November 1st. It's all about October 29th (October 30th for you East Coasters).
Ride - your word means nothing until you take the first step. We've all made too many empty promises in the past. We're not your wife. We're not your kids. We were you.

The only time to quit is now. Take a look at my story. I am now quit 59 days.
The time is NOW (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=3836)
And please, if you can find a real reason why Nov 1st is better than NOW, let me know. I just couldn't find it.

Simple, actually. Nov 1 is MY quit day. That is how I planned it, that is how it will work for ME.
Whats Nov 1 got that today doesn't?
Same as above.

Actually, Sir .. you don't know me well enough to make a blanket statement like that. A person's word has no merit when it has been proven to be false or not to be trusted. In my case, you are flat out wrong. As you will notice, I did in fact post roll on Nov 1 as my quit date (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=3969) ... just as I said I would.

Welcome aboard Ride.
Congrats on your posting today, enjoy your Day 1.
Don't take offense to the prior posts about delaying your Quit, it's just good people wanting you to not delay such an important moment in your life.
I too posted a similar scenerio when I first started. I said I was not dipping but using the nic gum and was going to quit that in a few days. Needless to say I got hammered with comments telling me not to delay. I already had it in my head and was sticking to it, and like you I did keep my word. Now I'm 65 days into my Quit.
Looking back now I know where everyone was coming from and it is not common for people to push a Quit date and stick to it. Like we all know, we have tried to quit many times without success so why delay it any longer.
Anyways, welcome to the best decision of your life and the best place to make it happen. Read alot, listen alot, QUIT alot!!
PM me if there is anything I can help you with.

Doesn't matter. All that does matter is that you're quit now. Welcome aboard and make use of the site, it's help me get through 41 days without cope.

Well done, Ride!!! Now that you've taken the first step, let us help you with the rest. Post roll, stay quit, and repeat. "Yesterday + 1" is your new motto.
You seem to be prety strong-willed...Great. Use that to your advantage. Nic doesn't give up its victims easily...especially after 36 years. But you can do this. Focus on why you quit and embrace the fog.
Nic will try to F with your mind. Nic will try to make you break your word. It tries to convince you that it isn't that dangerous, other people do it, no danger in taking just one more...all of those are addict speak. You're trying to take back control of your life...it is the fight of your life.
Welcome to the fog. Embrace it, remember it...and STAY QUIT brother!!!

Ride- Nice response. I'm in your quit group on my day 5. It's been tough but this site and people on it have really helped me so far. Every day has been a real bitch but I get on here about 10 times a day and somehow it makes me feel better. Anyway, I look forward to becoming a Bad Ass February Quitter with you and will talk to you soon!

Actually, where I'm from your word means nothing until you prove it. I don't just assume everyone is a man of their word. So I agree with Smokey.
