Title: My Introduction
Post by: BruceB on April 20, 2015, 10:01:00 AM
Just after never comes. How many times have I told myself ‘I will quit just after that long road trip’ or ‘I will quit just after I get through that project’ etc., etc., etc.??? Another trigger event/justification/excuse is always right around the corner. How about I’ll schedule that doctor/dentist visit just after I quit dipping?

The only time ‘just after’ will happen is when I take full responsibility for my own actions and say no to the NIC BITCH for the rest of my life. No longer will it have a grip on my health, finances, and family. That day is here through the help of this site, the people I have met here, and my Father above.

I have poisoned myself for over 35 years (that hurts to admit) but look forward to quitting every day for the rest of my life.

It's gonna suck for a while, Bruce, but I can guarantee that you will not regret this decision.
Head over to the Welcome Center and read up on KTC and posting roll.
Then hunker down and go for it.

We've got the same quit date, my friend. As the sun rises on day 3, my head is throbbing, I got about 3 hours of sleep, and I just might kick the cat if she looks at me, but we've got this. We're gonna get through the sucks and taste freedom on the other side. 35 years is too long to be a slave to nicotine.

I proudly quit with you today

Robb

Great choice, Bruce. YOU CAN DO THIS! Love the part about setting future quit dates. I was king of that...birthdays, graduation, 1st job, big projects, Christmas, New Years, next week..., etc. I could even rationalize that it was okay to take one more dip today because I was going to be quit for good on _____________ anyway, right?!!

I was a pro as self-deception. I mean, I was full of shit on a world-class, Guiness Book of Records level. I was stooooopid (with 5 o's). I could rationalize anything for just one more.

But all of that came to an end when I found this site. Reading the words of other addicts brought my own stupidity in to focus. I could see how full of shit I was. I mean, I knew I was full of shit...AND I STILL FOOLED MYSELF. That's like a magician doing card tricks for himself?!! WTF?!!!

But that's the past. The show is over. We're here now and we are quit with you. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

congrats on the 6th floor!
You are now the last one over on the milestones since MonsterMan left the building.
You, sir, are a GREAT caboose, not to be confused with "having a great caboose",
which you may have, but I've never seen you in person, or pics,
and maybe would be innappropriate to even say that to you in the first place......
