Day 36. I quit cold turkey after reading this site and getting crap from my friend that had already quit. Did not tell my wife which did not go very good for a few days until she realized I was serious. Well it has gotten easier but I get real tight when I get home from work. I dipped can a day for 27 Years. I am in education so I didn't do it all day and when I got out of school or kids are gone I put one in. Now it am dealing with big craving and being very mean to the ones I love the most when I get home at night. This is the hardest thing I have ever done.

36 days is pretty bad ass Cletus. I'm a former 35 year user and I am at Day 49. You can beat this one day at a time, every damn day. The good news is that all of the nicotine has been out of your system for over a month. The cravings are a result of your brain trying to rewire itself from 27 years of being poisoned. It will take time to heal.
Your loved ones do not deserve your anger. You did this to yourself unless they were helping you pack your lip. Take your aggressions out on us here on the forum and in the live chat. We are all addicts here just like you are. We understand you better than your loved ones do. We can take any crap you want to fling at us.
Your quit date puts you in my December 15 group. Post roll with my group every day and we can move forward together. You don't have to quit by yourself. I've tried to quit by myself a lot over those 35 years and I always failed. Today I am winning.
I quit with you today.

You are doing something that only the strongest and most dedicated addict can do. You quit! You used this site as an inspiration to drive your decision and prolonged success.
Can a quitter be successful without going all in on this site? Without posting roll? Without making connections? Without accountability and brotherhood? I guess??? I dunno... Cause to be honest I haven't met any successful long term quitters except for the thousands in this site. Dude I'm glad you have posted here. I hope you post roll. It works, and is a free insurance policy to protect your quit.
Your family doesn't understand. And I hope they never do. Quitting is miserable at first. Not forever, but it is fucking miserable at first. But you know what...? Dude you are the one that made the decision to do this X years ago. You are the one that bolted out of school to strap on your seatbelt and shove your face full of neurotoxin. You are the dumb fuck that wasted 10s of thousands of dollars on this shit. It hurt your family for years.... It took time away from them. It could have taken you away from them.
Now, I have earned the right to call you a dumb fuck shit for brains dumb ass etc etc because I was you. I chewed s can a day for 25+ years. 45k gone. And I was an ass for a while too. But then I joined a quit group here on Ktc and sone killer dudes helped me through the darkest time of my life. They told me, on day 16 when I joined, that life would get better. That brighter days were ahead. That the misery that I was telling would pass. And that I had no right to punish my family for my bad decisions. Dude I cannot begin to tell you how pissed I was to be told this stuff. These guys on here with 100, 500, 1000 days had no clue wtf I was going thru. They probably had a cakewalk of a quit. Now I get it.
But I listened. I posted. Every day. I got numbers of others in my group, of groups close to mine, and of vets. Day by day it got a little better. Then a lot. The struggles took time. There were hard days, but I listened and followed their lead. And I was completely honest with my wife after that. It is the hardest thing I've ever done too. And the best.
You have my respect sir. I get where you are coming from. I remember what those shoes felt like. And I promise you, brighter days are ahead. My number is your for the asking... Just send me a pm. You can do this.

Cletus you just got a big dose of reality check and quit wisdom all in one post. Read this post over and over again to get what it takes to really do this. That decision is yours my man. You can quit today. Do it or don't. It's your choice. How badly do you want it?
