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

Proverbs 18:2

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."


A Quit Plan: Do you have one?


CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit.
After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco. SportDad 1/13/05

Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light.-
Good-night, dear heart, good-night.

Be silly, be honest, be kind
