80 days free after 22 year obsession

[trigerhapy]

Thanks again (NB) for all the years of service and the heartache you brought upon to me and my family and friends. I hope that in the future you can kindly fuck off and die.

Sincerely,

JJohnson (officially stronger than you)

That is epic... Happy HOF man!

[JJohnson]

that's great, man. I came to about the same estimate ($30k) you did. I was thinking last night too about how I romanticize our relationship in my mind like dip was my first girlfriend and we had so much fun together and we had the world by the tail - just a couple of crazy kids in love. In reality she wanted me broke and dead. what a dumbass I am.

It's so crazy that our brains work this way. It's winter here in Chicago and cold as hell and I find myself going through all these scenarios in my head. "Nothing like a dip in the cold, shit I can't." "How am I gonna golf without my buddy Skoal, crap" "Roadtrip!!!, shit roadtrips are gonna suck if I can't chew".

But then I force myself to think of all the negatives; cancer, death, widowed wife, kids without a dad, just another dumbass statistic etc.

Good luck LA Kevin and I got your back, let's do this and do it right. Happy Quitting.

Dear Nicotine,

Please let this letter serve as my official resignation letter. I have recently been blessed with the fortitude (along with a push from some friends) to leave you
7 days ago. However, a monumental challenge to do so, I have since decided that after my 22 year tenure with you, I will never return to you again.

In hindsight, I wanted to reflect on our relationship together and thank you for some great times:

1. That time my girlfriend (now wife) drank from a coke can spit cup was very memorable, especially for her.
2. Knowing that I have spent upwards near $30,000 on you and in return you've given me nothing but kidney stones, white spots in my mouth, hypertension and a sore jaw shows how great you are.
3. That time when my wife was giving birth to our first child and we decided to sneak outside for a little break when all of a sudden our wife needed us for an emergency and they couldn't find us, that was awesome.
4. The best was when my mom was on her death bed, dying of cancer and she asked me to quit you and I promised I would. But shortly after her death I started again due to stress. That's was an epic example of your integrity.

Moving forward please do not email me, facebook me, call me, text me, talk to me or even look at me. If you try to contact my family or friends I will kill you on the spot
and stuff you in the garbage can like the piece of trash you are. If you need to contact me and it is an emergency please come to killthecan.org and the welcome staff will make
sure you are dealt with properly.

Thanks again for all the years of service and the heartache you brought upon to me and my family and friends. I hope that in the future you can kindly fuck off and die.

Sincerely,

JJohnson (officially stronger than you)

Atta boy JJ!

Hi there. I was in the same situation you were at the 22 year mark as well. I had a patch on, went into the chat room here for support and found out I wasn't quit. We think we are doing a good thing by slowly decreasing our intake of nicotine, and telling ourselves "at least I'm not actually dipping".

Shoot. I took the shit for about an hour. Ripped that patch off, joined KTC and have been quit for 367 days. It is going to suck bro. No lie. It is tough, but we are all here to say you can do it. We will quit with you. We can't quit for you, but if you keep your promise every single day on Roll, you will have thousands of supporters, all addicts just like you, standing and fighting with you.

Make this about you. Nothing should be more important than your quit. Start taking nicotine off the table.....it isn't even an option anymore.

YOU GOT THIS.

I will be here quitting like a girl if you need anything. Welcome PM is on the way.

[jabr]

Alright, patch off, here I go.

Fuck.

Yes!

Congrats, JJ. Get involved in the April '15 group.

[NoMoreCopeBlack]

Quit like this

[Nolaq]

Alright, patch off, here I go.

Fuck.

Yes!

[Grizzlyhasclaws]

Thanks all for the reality check. I will give up the fucking patch and follow up with a new post.

Atta boy!
Strap in. Now it gets fun!
Stick to this intro... You only get one. Use this to log what's going on and to look back on. This is your quit journey... Own it.

Yes JJ, throw that patch away. Get some numbers from fellow quitters, drink a ton of water, and use these boards and the LIVE CHAT feature.

Get that roll posted. Join us! Congrats!
