Thanks, guys!  I am not putting that shit in my mouth again.  The longer I stay quit the madder I get that I did it in the first place. In 8 minutes it will be day 145.  I was headed to bed, but I may just stay up 8 more minutes just to say it's day 145, and I still quit.
Left you a P/M.
Thanks, but there is nothing in my inbox?
Just tried it again

Love it Bean. needed to copy this

3) I can't change the past and don't know the future. But I sure as shit know that I won't dip today. Everyone has my word on that.

Welcome Goom, and remember to keep the crap in the coffin and each day put another nail in it to keep it there and not inside your body. 'zombie'

Great job, Goom. But remember, 144 is just a great start to what is possible for you. I have heard that many addicts don't quit because they are scared of failing. Or, that they quit in secret because they don't want to take a bunch of shit when they inevitably fail. I used to quit for 2 or 3 days "just to make sure I could"...whatever the fuck that means. Of course, 2 or 3 days later, I'd be right back at it. My point is that nothing ever stuck before because I didn't face the facts that I learned on this site.

1) I am a 20+ year addict...which means I am a professional excuse-making bullshitter who fooled myself and others for a long time.
2) I need Roll Call and every fucker on this site to keep me accountable...no more of this "go it alone" mentality. That never worked...at least for me.
3) I can't change the past and don't know the future. But I sure as shit know that I won't dip today. Everyone has my word on that.

Welcome, Goom!!! There are a ton of newbies and potential quitters who could benefit from sharing your thoughts. Stay strong and stay quit!

Introduction
« on: July 05, 2012, 02:06:00 PM »
I quit on 2/12/12 and am at 144 days - cold turkey. I popped around KTC's site and check the facebook page to get support when I need it. Never registered or posted before because I wasn't sure if the quit would stick. Now I know it will. I almost hate myself for not quitting earlier. Dipped roughly 20 years, the last 2 or 3 years were 2 can minimum days. Since the summer is here, I spend a good deal of time with friends that still dip. I've tried to convince them to quit, discussed the health, money, slave- to- the- dip angles. All to no avail. So, since the temptation is present, I decided to register and hopefully will be active here and not only receive support, but give support in return. I enjoy waking up each day and telling that nicotine demon to go to hell.

So a "hello" to all, I look forward to being a part of this community.
