Title: Quitting Dec 15st
Post by: gft74 on December 01, 2014, 11:28:00 PM
I'm quitting on Dec 15th. I'm 40 years old, been using since I was 16.

I lost my father a year ago at age 65 to colon cancer (he was a life long smoker). I just had my first child in March, and I want to be around for my wife and her.

I've been using pouches last 5 years in effort to slow it down some. I'm going to be using chantix and smokey mountain wintergreen pouches.

What's so special about the 15th?

Um... Sooo, you're not quitting right now because??...

Listen, we get that's it hard. We get that it's scary. We get all the reasons that you will list putting off quitting for the "perfect" time. Y'know what?...

The perfect time isn't later... It's right now.

To nicotine addicts like us (and, yes, you too), tomorrow always breeds another tomorrow. Why spend one more minute killing yourself? How do you know that the next dip you put in isn't going to be the one that turns healthy skin cells into cancer? You like all the bits of your face where they are?... Are you willing to play roulette one more time and risk losing bits of that face?

Make the choice... Do this now.
Freedom is waiting.

There's no time like the present. Quit and be done with it. Don't keep putting this off, there are no excuses to continue to put that poison in your mouth- it's a ticking time bomb- if you want to be around for your baby girl and wife then go to the bathroom and dump the rest of your cat turds in the toilet and flush them.

There's only regret waiting for you from now until the 15th, quit now. No good will come out of waiting. ZERO. All it proves is how much control this weed has over you.

You can do this. Take it one day at a time. Post roll, make that promise not to use nicotine for that day, be a man of your word and then do it again the next day.

Freedom from nicotine is within your grasp- you just have to man up and take it.

No time like the present. Just think if you quit today you'll be on day 13 on the 15th.

I used to quit every April 16th. I did that 7 or 8 times. Maybe once I made it until May, usually I was killing myself again by the 20th. My point is that you can't plan a date, you just need to quit. It isn't easy but can be done with this wonderful site.

Would you play Russian Roulette every day until the 15th? Seems like you are to me.

'I will quit' is not worth much around here brother.

'I am quit' is worth a whole shitload.

I've seen this movie before. Ten bucks we don't see him on the 15st.

I gotta agree, the previews look pretty shitty.

So I get your reason for the 15th, you're using chantix, right? I did the chantix thing twice. The second time I had my date set and was slowing down. Then I found KTC, I drank the koolaid and quit. I moved my quit date up 11 days, I'm sure I would still be postponing my date if I hadn't found this site and listened to those that understand this wicked addiction.
I challenge you to flush all your stash and quit for yourself. Take the chantix, use smokey mountain or any other non-nicotine replacement. It's time to man up and quit. You won't regret moving the date up but you will regret postponing. I'd like to collect from nolaq. Prove him wrong!

The fifteenst? That sounds like Mike Tyson.
