I quit for over a year in 2011, Why the hell I relapsed I don't know.
I enjoy the hell out of it, why can't it be like beer where I can have one and not want another for a couple weeks or months?
I got my smokey mountain mint laying in every corner, bottles of water everywhere and have been doing Insanity workouts for several weeks.
I put the can in the trash 24 hours ago. I figured I should wait at least that long before I claimed any victory. Of course I woke up at 4:00a with a throbbing headache and rumbling stomach. This is a PITA. I did another workout an hour ago, head was POUNDING.
I wish I could lock myself in a jail cell for 7-14 days, I really do..Well a jail cell with a weight rack would be nice.
I still remember the last time, the first 72 hours was not too bad, on day 5 I was having a real bad day. It also happened to be the day the lawnmower didn't want to start then the rope broke, then I threw it over the fence spouting a rage of cusswords.... Luckily my neighbors are pretty laid back and laughed it off.
Here's looking at the second run at the championship.
Good luck everyone,

Ain't no luck involved bro. Just flat out grin-n-bear it quitting.
Trying, hoping, luck... All of those leave a door open for failure. They perpetuate a try 'til it sticks method.
That's not how it works here.
You quit once. You give it all you've got because it really is your life that's on the line. I used to think I enjoyed the hell out of it too. I was wrong. I enjoyed not going through withdrawal. You need to leave the romanticized view of nicotine in the dust and wrap your head around just how much it took from you for all these years. Money, time, honesty, health... The list goes on. You relapsed because you're an addict and an addict can't have just one. Ever.
This is the right place, man. Get yourself to the Welcome Center and learn what, why, and how we do things here. You want to succeed?... Get involved and stay involved. Own this decision. You won't be sorry.

Some bad ass advice right there^^^^^! You only have one quit date, quit is quit and there is no going back, anything else is just a "stoppage". I stopped for 5 years back in the 1990's and then relapsed, I quit 1/6/14 and have not used since. It is a tough lesson, truly understanding you are an addict. I will never make that mistake again. Why not? I understand I am an addict, I am not cured, and I can not have just one. You now realize it and it should give you an advantage. There is no rationalization and no romanticizing my addiction. Over the past 14 months I have built a web of accountability through a daily promise to myself and others that I am quit today. It works, welcome aboard and congratulations on being quit today!

Good luck everyone,
So you were here before? What was your screen name? We'll need to track that down. I understand you're not trying to hide, but we do require one user name only.

Quitting isn't easy, and it's not for everyone. You have to want to be quit more than you want that shit in your mouth - if you aren't at that point then I don't see it happening. I failed to see that 50-60 times over 17 years, but once I woke up and saw that I was killing myself and I hated the product doing that is when I became a quitter.

Hey my friend grab your sac and follow these guy's if you really want this! See you couldn't do it by yourself before, this time you don't have to! Get in here post roll and begin some freedom, it's awesome! We're waiting, next moves your's!

I'm here, yes it's the middle of the night. No I didn't post up yesterday. Doing anything web related with my phone is dang near impossible. Well phone combined with my fingers anyway. And I was driving a lot which of course is a BIAATCH trigger so I only bought a soda from mcdonalds and used rest areas so I could avoid all those awesome dip deals at every gas station..
Still chopping wood, yesterday my blood sugar was all over the place but I made it through.
The witch came early today, so I have been sleepless since 1a, bout 3 hours earlier than the norm.
So good morning to others in this ride..lol
Sorry bout the blank out, but I'm still chopping wood..figure another 3-5 days of real suck then less such each day for another week or two till things start getting better.

Nice job! You sound like someone that really wants to quit. I really wanted to for 25 years. I sometimes did stop for a day, or two. But Ktc quitting is different. When you put both feet in the Ktc pool, you quit as a team with other peeps chopping wood just like you are. They watch out for you, you watch out for them, and as a team success is soooooooo much easier.
Does all of this sound crazy? Yes. 831 days ago I thought it sounded like some whack nonsense. 831 days ago.
Dude, please join your quit qrouo and get your name on roll. Every day. It takes a minute, even from a phone with fat ass fingers (I'm typing this on a phone do please excuse the typos .) support your team, let them support you, and vets will jump in from time to time. Freedom is a wonderful thing. The brotherhood and accountability here will lead you to freedom.
I'm glad you are here, sir. See you on roll call....

You haven't convinced me you're serious yet. A whole lot of excuses as to why you can't/won't post roll.
And you didn't answer me as to your previous screen name.
And I won't go away.
