Title: 6 years..........
Post by: niwot on January 01, 2015, 06:21:00 PM
Hi, I'm Dennis (niwot) and I'm a nicotine addict. I quit with the April 2009 FOQR's at the age of 45 and am on day 2192. I quit for all the same reasons you are quitting, but the fuel for my quit was anger......anger at being a bitch to nicotine. I stay quit now EVERYDAY because I WILL NOT relapse...period. I know the moments and the triggers of when a potential "cave" is possible and I fight thru it, Actually it is not even a fight anymore. I have no interest in that shit and trust me, after 6 years you will not either. I write this out of respect and appreciation for this wonderful group of people and their collective power. I don't post much anymore but I still feel this place changed my life and I want to give back here........if this inspires one of you to recognize: I am an addict, I can never consume nicotine again in any form and I will understand and avoid the potential triggers to a "cave", then I have paid my debt forward. This has been the best 6 years of my life. Yours are ahead of you! The 2 types of pain are :discipline- measured in grams, and Regret- measured in TONS.

Congrats on 6 years man. Come on in and post up again. I'm on day 76 and all of us new guys could learn a thing or two from you. Pass on that quit knowledge that some vet probably passed on to you. You got a lot from this site pay it forward.

Ditto. 6 yrs of freedom can certainly be shared with guys that are in the trenches. Lay some knowledge on us
