Excellent choice, but I'll caution you about the "end it with a bang" idea.  It sounds good at first, but associating your quit with something like that is permanent.  To me, that means as soon as the thrill of graduating wears off, the same will happen to that shiny new quit.  The reality of life as a graduate brings certain stresses, and you've got to be very focused that it doesn't drive you back to nicotine.

Not trying to be difficult, just pointing out that you need to be completely dedicated to staying quit for the long haul.  But, still..... one day at a time.

I don't normally say "I told you so.", but.........^^^^^^^


Man, if you are gonna make this stick you have to really soak up the knowledge that is available here. Life ain't gonna get any easier, and neither is quitting. Oh, and it helps to be a man of your word.

Come on Erik you still Don't show that fire! How as do you want to have freedom?

Please read this Ecrutch. I hate to see a young kid with quit within his grasp, and fails to seize it. This was posted today, by a 32 year old guy who gets to hold his breath for the next week waiting to see if he has cancer. DONT WAIT E, quit today.

"Day 29 of my Quit.

In early December of 2012, I had a referral to an oral surgeon from my dentist. I went the first week of December. The verdict from him at the time was Leukoplakia. I mentioned that I was cutting down on chewing and working to quit. He told me to come back in 8 weeks, if I didn't quit chewing and things looked the same, I'd have to have a biopsy.

Well my day 29 was the visit to the oral surgeon. The tissue didn't improve and I just had a biopsy sample cut from my cheek. As I sit here writing this, my cheek is bleeding, I've just spent $300+ on a procedure, and I'm scared as hell. I'm 32 years old, I can't believe I'm facing the potential of cancer, and I'm scared as hell if I do have it.

Many emotions are running through me right now, fear, sadness, regret, anger.....

Regret -- Why in the hell did I have to poison my body for 17 years with lip turds. I told myself for 17 years that i needed to dip so I'd feel normal, that life was too hard without it. I'm 29 days into my quit -- yea the first 7 days sucked ass, and I felt like absolute hell, but they weren't impossible. On day 29 I know I have a whole log of quitting to do, but I also subscribe to the motto "Never again, for any reason"

Sadness -- I'm sad that I did not think that this would happen or could happen to me. I was invincible in my younger years and I always put off quitting. I'll quit after i get through this big test. I'll quite when I get through this major project at work. I'll quit after I get married. I always had a next step for quitting, but didn't get there until 17 years later. If you wait for the next step or the perfect time to quit, it will never come. Just fucking quit.

Anger -- I'm a dumbass, and I'm angry at myself for being a dumbass. What stupid motherfucker poisons himself day in and day out for 17 years. Not to mention all of the fucking warning signs that people had. The dentist had been warning me for years. I just thought I was invincible, or that it was too hard. The reality: I was too big of a pussy.

Fear -- at 32 years old, I could have cancer. I won't know for a week. This is probably the most terrifying thing that I've faced. Cancer is terrifying, and unfortunately some get it without ever poisoning their bodies, but I can't help but blame myself. I don't know what will come, but the unknown is scary as hell.


For anyone out there lurking on this site: READ THIS. It's not as compelling as the stories on the main site, or the pics, but it's an average 32 year old man that's going through what you may have to face one day if you don't pull that shit out of your lip. Stop being a pussy and man up. look at how many people have been able to quit. And you have access to talk to them. To walk the path with many, rather than the lonely path you are on now.

This site works. It's given me 29 days. 4 weeks. That's 4 weeks nicotine free. I've never had 4 weeks nicotine free since I started.

Today I quit like fuck.

Think of it as day one of the way your life is supposed to be. You weren't born with it in your mouth and you are not dependent upon it to live.

Wake, post roll, and all is taken care of for today. If you don't believe me, look around and see how many others feel the same way. And if you still don't believe me, go ask your grandfathers what it means when a man fails to keep his word.

QLAFM with you today. PM if you need anything.
