Day One

[KennyZ]

Belated congratulations!! You have the tools to stay quit. Some days will be easy and others difficult. Keep executing the plan and you can't go wrong. You got this.

"you made it this far, why not enjoy yourself just this once. You quit before, you can just do it again. One tin won't hurt. It will feel so good to get that buzz one more time. Don't be such a prude. You only live once, why not enjoy yourself."

Its super interesting to read this. This is the precise reason I joined the roll call today, day 10 quit, because I am not *as* concerned about my resolve now - but what about on day 30 or 40 or 50... I've been down the path before where I would quit for a day or two or seven and think to myself - "hey, I obviously don't need this so you're ok to keep doing it."

So I quit with you.

Congratulations on reaching the HOF Leave_notrace! B)B

And Swink, keep reading everything that you can on this site. There is a wealth of quit knowledge here. In a way Day 10 is more bad ass than Day 100... :)

Congrats on 100....LNT
Stay under Kenny's wing.
He is one BA quitter.
And so are you!

Today I hit the 100 day mark. When I started, this day felt so far away, and almost unattainable. This is an amazing community, and I couldn't have made it this far without the accountability and support. I want to thank all the people that helped me get this far. Especially Kenny Z, he was a big help to me at the beginning of my quit. Nate2 has also been there for me, and kept me accountable. I am technically in the HOF today, but I know that I will always be an addict, and I need to keep my guard up at all times. I know that one laps in judgment or slip up will put me all the way back to day 1. I never want to have to go through this shit again! the Fog is real. Evan at 100 days I still get the craving for another dip. It is a lot easier push through cravings these days, but the feeling is still there. Stay strong and quit on brothers!

[Leave_notrace]

Over lunch today I decided to read through my my previous posts. Wow! life has changed in the past 74 days! When reading through my previous posts it feels as if I am reading the words of someone else. I can't believe that I let nicotine rule my life for so long. I never want to go through that experience again. I hate the person that nicotine created, and i hate the person that the fog created even more! I am 3/4 of the way to the HOF and I am feeling in control of my life. At this point in my quit the hardest thing to deal with is the whispering voice that creeps into my head for that split second when I pull into the gas station, or get stressed out, or am bored... etc. It's pretty easy to shut it down, but I realize that I need to stay vigilant in shutting the voice up before I start listening to it. The recurring thing that keeps popping into my head is "you can just buy a can and take one pinch, just get that buzz one more time and throw the can away." I know that this is a total lie! This is how and why I would fail at all of my other quit attempts in the past. I would listen to the voice, thinking that I could just get the buzz one more time, and then continue with my quit. NOT TRUE! Every time nicotine would grab me and throw my back into the clutches of addiction. ONE PINCH IS NEVER ONE PINCH! Stay strong brothers! I quit with you today!

Update-

I am on Day 58. I never would have been able to make it this far without this site, and posting roll. The quit has gone in waves so far. The beginning was, as to be expected, very rough. Soon after I got into a rhythm, and it didn't seem so hard. In fact, dip sounded disgusting to me. Up until about day 50 or so. Now the cravings are coming back stronger, and the whispering voice is back in my head. It keeps trying to tell me things like, "you made it this far, why not enjoy yourself just this once. You quit before, you can just do it again. One tin won't hurt. It will feel so good to get that buzz one more time. Don't be such a prude. You only live once, why not enjoy yourself." I know these are all lies and the nicotine is just trying to wrap it talons around me again, and drag me back down to the dark dungeon that it creates. I have made a commitment to my self and to my brothers here at KTC, and I will keep my promise! I thought I had it licked for a while. It turns out that the voice was just waiting for me become complacent. Be ware brothers, just when you think you are in control, the whisper will come out from its hiding and tempt you again. I am worried that once I hit day 100 I will let my guard down. I will have to be vigilant to not let that happen.

QUITTING.... leave_notrace is not for most.
Many follow the voices of the flesh.
The flesh has no understanding of what is best.
You have quit so far, because of your mind and wisdom of the truth that burnes inside your soul.
Im not preaching..... BUT
Lets bury our past.... We all started this BS$! Without understanding the effects.
We all did it and didn't like it at first.
We all hate the way it owned us.
It never helped you or me.
It is a lie.
We will never go back.....
Let's find other things to do.
Let's find other things to talk about.
If we talk about nicotine...Let's be helping someone else quit.
You are a BA here and growing stronger everyday.
Over is Over.... Tell the voice to leave!
Your over will be stronger today!
It gets easier every minute, hour, and day.
Dont be scared of the voice.... It will not win! You are quit.
I Quit with you today.

This is to anyone who is creeping around this site wondering if they should bite the bullet and quit. I am on day 24 and feeling better than I have in almost a decade. I tried so many times to quit by myself and failed every time. The nicotine bitch is stronger than you are. You will fail every time if you try to fight this on your own. Post roll and start talking to people on this site. There is an army of people here who know what you are going through,and are pulling for you be rid of the chains of nicotine. Let your family and friends know what you are going through. Get as many people in your corner as you possibly can. Take control of your life, grow a pair and QUIT! You wont regret it. The feeling of freedom is amazing, and I know it's only going to get better the longer I am quit. The first couple of weeks are really tough, but that is what this community is here for. Use this forum as an outlet to vent your frustrations. Post roll everyday and make a promise to the rest of us that you are going to quit for the next 24 hours. Its that easy. Don't worry about tomorrow, next week or next month. Worry about today, and kick its ass.

Well said.....

Notrace of caving here!
I quit with you.

Planting a seed is better than saying "Hey I can wait til {insert next time here}.
Someone planted this seed for me probably six months ago.
I wasn't quite there now I an on my eighth day 1.
Plant that seed and when he is ready we will all quit with him.

[Leave_notrace]

I didn't have a chance to talk to my uncle about this site over thanksgiving. There wasn't an opportunity to do it when other family members were not around. I'm bummed. I really want to see home be free of this slave master. I might write him an email. I just hope I can communicate without sounding preachy or judgmental. I guess all I can do is plant the seed
