Title: Add me to the roll call
Post by: Mcbeevee on August 03, 2011, 10:39:00 AM
After thirty years of tobacco addiction using either dip or chew and many failed attempts to quit, I finally said "enough" on June 18, 2011. In the beginning, I could not picture how I would be able to get through a day without a dip in my mouth. My addiction allowed me to reason that everything I did during the day could not be done correctly without a dip in my mouth. I am 47 days quit and determined to make this my final quit. Enough of the lame excuses, stinky breath, sore throat and gums, hiding the can, clothing stains, brown slimy stinky cups in the cupholder, frantic thoughts of running low in the can, etc. etc. I found this site late in the quit but am glad it is available.

Welcome McB.

There is no "late in the quit". We quit everyday brother. It sounds like you have a feel for roll call and what goes on there. That's exactly it brother. That's you putting your word down that you quit today. So don't think about being quit next week or month or Christmas or Canadian Boxing Day. Worry about today and face tomorrow when its looking at you in the mirror.

Hit the Pink. Welcome Center in the upper left. Read through that. That will give you an idea of the flow here. Read it. Want to take control of your addiction? Want to own it? Read. Understand the fight you have coming and the support that is available. So read everything on the site.

Roll call. Let me see if I can emphasize the importance of this accurately...post fucking roll every damn day without exception. Do it early. First thing. Put your word down that you are quit today. No excuses. "But my dog..." or "I'm on safari in..." doesn't cut it. Don't fuck with the program. This is you putting your word down to us and yourself that you are quit today. That's how it works.

Your group is: September (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=4751). Good folks in there. Get to know them. We're all fighting the same bitch everyday brother. They'll be there when thoughts start creeping in your head. Reach out.

If you find that your word is in jeopardy (a.k.a. your spine turning to pink ruffled wet panties)....perform the following:

-Get on the site and post roll.
-Get on the site and read.
-Get on the site and chat.
-Text a quit brother or sister that you need a kick in the ass.
-Call a quit brother or sister asking for words of inspiration.
-Ask yourself did I do everything I could to save my life today?

These are the tools. Use them. There is no reason to ever consume nicotine again. None.

Lastly, the more you read the safer your quit. The more you are involved the safer your quit. The more you invest in your quit the safer your quit.

This isn't a rant. This is how I like my quit...with purpose and balls. The nic bitch has been lying and trying to kill you for years. Its time for revenge. Its time for justice. Make her your puppet. Own it. You will do this.

-Soul

Ok. 47 days quit. Well done. I found this site 23 or so days into my quit. Start reading by going up to the top of the page and hitting the pink welcome center link. You will be part of the September 2011 HOF group. Here is a link: index.php?showtopic=4751 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=4751)

Why not give it a go and read and see if you can post roll. If you can't, post up on your thread and we can take care of you. I am glad you are here. Shout if you need assistance. You can count on me.

Oh. Read, read, read this site. It helps.

MC,

That's awesome that you were able to Quit for 47 days (I assume that you have not used any nicotine since June 18th?) Is so congrats--that is great!

I found this site 42 days into my quit and now I am at 98 days today. This site saved my quit and it will save yours too. Post roll everyday and make your promise not to use nicotine. You will post roll with September.

Read everything on this site and educate yourself to REMAIN a Quitter.

You have come through the worst of it, but rough patches still remain----stay vigilant. Get to know some of your September quit brothers/sisters.

Pm me if you need anything

Congrats and welcome! You and I are both in the September quit group so head on over and post roll.

It's awesome that you've done this for 47 days on your own but now you have a host of other people you can lean on to help you. We know what it's like, we're living it too...

I have been signing in for while now but notice that my Roll Call seems to disappear after I leave the site. I did it today and went back to look at mine and the only thing I see differently is that mine has a "Edit" button at the top. Am I not saving it correctly? Help me out because I want to make sure my spreadsheet is OK and I get credit for my day of Quit!

You just got bumped (two guys posting at the same time).

LOOT added you back.

Thanks for the info. Loot! Maybe next time I can be the guy that bumps someone off when I am double posting.

I post roll each day and am on the accountability sheet but not on the roll call spreadsheet?
