I know the time has come to quit! I will listen to each word of advise because this 35 year snuff habit must end, and end once and for all. I know this is a horrible habit if you have been doing it for 1 year or 35 years like myself. I like many have attempted the quit only to fall to the power of the NIC over and over. I not only need to quit but I WANT to quit, so here I am begging for help from others who have gone or going through the quit.
I have looked over how things function here and totally understand the importance of brotherhood. Before I start I need to understand what could be a possible issue before I commit because I need to be 100% in. Here is the problem I will have and need to know if a solution persist ?
There will be some days I cant be present to post rollcall and on many days will not have cell phone privileges to text and I need to know how I can honor the code of committing to the quit daily. I have seen some post where people say "you can always get to a computer, phone,etc.." Please understand its due to my profession that its not always possible daily and believe me its not always possible by everyone.
I do want to quit and my mind and ears are wide open for your help. Please help me make this happen.

It is very important to post roll every single day giving your word of honor that you will not use nicotine in any way shape or form for that day.
If you do not post roll, you are giving yourself an out.
Having said all of that. Do you want to quit? Go post roll. Give your word and keep it.
We shall see how bad you want to quit and stay that way.
P.S. Prisoners in solitary confinement find a way to order hits on people in entirely different prisons, in different states. Not that I've ever tried it mind you but I've seen that shit on T.V. And I did stay at a Holiday Inn once, I think ;)
P.P.S. No more excuses. Post roll and keep your word.
P.P.P.S. Do it now.

We quit 1 day at a time tomorrow will come and you will do what you have to do.
Quit today and we have today taken care of!!
So for your job, you are 100% not able to contact the outside world whatsoever?

I can do day 1 and maybe day 2, but there comes a time that I can not post for a few days. And to reply to your question, yes 100% not possible.
What do you suggest I do when its not possible on those days ?

And the moment you have access, you post up...or the posse is called.
-
stay quit! and be a man of your werd! what do you think you should do?
Fair enough. I can be a man of my word but will my quit group understand. I fully understand the strength of a brotherhood and would not want them to feel i am not devoted when I dont show up for a couple days. This is why I ask can I pledge to a fellow brother I will stay quit a few days in advance or not ?

I see you need for someone to bottom line this for you. You have not been reading between the lines. No one is going to say it is okay to miss a roll call. BUT...
When you get back on and you post more days than when you were last on, you are still quit.
No posting days in advance.
ARRRRRRGGGHGHHH
Just quit already.

for every day that you get on here...post as much as you can, get involved...there is a post counter under your avitar..... if you make it to the HOF (that's 100 days quit) and only have 50 post, I say no good! If you are here fifty days and have 150 posts and make someone's HOF speech I say that's being involved.
Being involved helps your own quit, much more than it helps anyone elses... except you Ready, and Redtrain
Why else would we do this?

No sir I dont like to read between the lines I like things cut and dry 'embarrassed' Ok now we are past this stage I will post up day 1 as I have not had a dip in my mouth since this morning and do not have possession of a can nor will I from this point forward.

Ozwald...I certainly appreciate your desperation. Desperation is a very helpful ingredient in a successful quit, methinks. I'll go ahead and ask the question that's in the backs of everyone's mind at this point:
"'ZACTLY WHAT IS IT THAT KEEPS YOU COMPLETELY OFF THE GRID FOR DAYS AT A TIME?"
-
"'ZACTLY WHAT IS IT THAT KEEPS YOU COMPLETELY OFF THE GRID FOR DAYS AT A TIME?"
Some people will have a difficult time understanding we are not all 9-5 workers and when I was younger I would be "off the grid" for months. Now it usally isnt that long of period. However, we didnt have all these nice electronic toys at our finger tips as we do today. But, these same electronic gadgets can put myself and mainly others at risk in this hi-tech world we live in today and with that said I am not at liberty to get into details.
I hope my quit group can think out of the box with this and I only want to focus on my quit which will be very difficult but its a mission I am ready to tackle head on. And as you said desperation will make me try very very hard to accomplish my goal.

I read between the lines.
Again, welcome to the suck.
It will get better, as long as you stay quit. That means all forms of nicotine.

Bond, James Bond? Holy shit, does the Queen know you dip?
Listen, you're only as good as your word around here. You say you absolutely can't post everyday, your quit brothers will likely give you the benefit of the doubt (however hockey your excuse sounds). But if you cave and disappear from our "grid" and crawl back here in the future with a lame excuse about the pressure, Goldfinger returned, or WikiLeaks outed you these fine quitters who are trying to show you the way right now will have very little sympathy. Now post, give your word and keep it.

Bond, James Bond? Holy shit, does the Queen know you dip?
Listen, you're only as good as your word around here. You say you absolutely can't post everyday, your quit brothers will likely give you the benefit of the doubt (however hockey your excuse sounds). But if you cave and disappear from our "grid" and crawl back here in the future with a lame excuse about the pressure, Goldfinger returned, or WikiLeaks outed you these fine quitters who are trying to show you the way right now will have very little sympathy. Now post, give your word and keep it.
Listen I am here to QUIT snuff not talk about me or what I do or what you do for a living. If you read this whole thread you will see I asked if in anyway my not posting daily would effect my quit group. I understand there will be some who think its impossible to go a day without internet or a cell. I do apologize if my excuse doesn't meet the normal standards, its the best I can do. You are barking up the wrong tree because no where did I say I was a James Bond type and besides I am a proud American and dont know much about the queen. At my age I dont need to make excuses anymore, I just need to fix my bad habits.
So lets move on and my word is my word and I want to quit this nasty habit like so many others.

I don't really care what you do for a living...although I'm guessing ostrich inseminator. (I wouldn't want to admit to that either)
Glad you are quit. You can do it. We are all proof that the site works.

Then you're here for the right reason. Post as often as possible, and keep your word. You need to learn to laugh though, that WikiLeaks shit was funny - though perhaps not as funny as Ostrich inseminator...

Oz, Welcome to the suck, the fog, and the quit. Glad to have you quit with me.

Thanks, I feel the fog already. And its my pleasure to quit with you and anyone else too. This is the 1st day of the rest of my life

Embrace the fog and know that you will only have to go through this once if you quit and stay quit!!! Rely on your quit group and get plenty of numbers for cave prevention. I makes you that much more accountable if you have to call a brother and ask permission to cave. Also check out live chat if you help in real time. If you need a number mine is available for the asking.

Thanks for the good info, I needed that because I was just thinking how I would get help if I needed it in an emergency. Thanks again
