  • Interests: I'm an ol' country boy from Texas: where I started dipping in the 8th grade over 37 years ago. The US Navy brought me to SO CAL in 1985. I got married to So CAL girl and remained here after I got out of the Navy. I love the outdoors; camping, hiking, hunting and fishing but mostly I love to do wood working. I guess now that I am not wasting money on crap I can have more to do the things I like to do.

You got this SD. Just stay strong, post roll, and lean on your quit bros n sis's. The goal is to quit One Day at a Time (ODAAT). Quit for today, worry about tomorrow when it gets here. If you promise not to use though, you better not.

You got this. Drink lots of water, get some exercise, and stay close as you can to KTC. Reading can keep you quit! QLF all day with you.

The faster I get thru the chits and the fog and the RAGE feelings the sooner I'll be free.
As grizzly stated your free now my friend. Take a deep breath and suck in that dignity your taking back right this second. Look no further than this second sparky. It's going to be rough for a little while, but it gets a lot easier as soon as you start taking it one day at a time. The first few days suck, but embrace it. Dig deep and take that freedom back. The poison don't just give it back, you gotta take it.

Get that roll posted as soon as you can. Give your word and keep it. Failure is not an option! Quit with you today.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Tell us more about you and your reasons for quitting. Post roll, QLF, get some friends, become part of the crazy side and never look back. Quit paying other people for shit that will kill you, fight like its life or death because it is, and rage to us here. We understand.

Mogul
Thanks Mogul.

I'm 27, married with a beautiful 2yr old daughter. I love my girls and I need to be there for them. This habit is selfish, and I tell myself I'm a good provider and protector but I need to face the facts here. If I'm killing myself everyday, what kind of father and husband does that make me?

I'm quitting to save my life, not just for me, but for my wife and daughter who deserve to have me around.

I'm quitting to save the $300 or so I spend on killing myself every month. Im going to put that $ in a drawer to see what I was throwing away.

I'm quitting to prove to myself that I can do it.
Good for you SDS. You're onto something. Pull up your pants, tuck in your nuts, and get ready for the suck, it's coming. We're here though so you can take it out on us instead of your wife and kid. This place will help you save your life. Up to you what you do with that blessing.

Glad to see you posted roll and you're ready to stick it to the nic bitch. You can start with this: 'Finger' NB.

Quit on bro.

SDS,

Welcome. First, know going into it that it WILL SUCK. Second, no one ever DIED from nicotine withdrawal. Third, Post roll EARLY every day (takes your option to cave away, unless you want to LIE to your brothers the Sultans -- who don't take kindly to being lied to). Fourth, find a few (dozen) Sultans to link up with; exchange numbers; promise them that before you even think about putting crap in your face you will call to get their permission (hint -- doubtful they'll give you permission). Fifth -- READ. There's a ton of good info on this site, how to fight cravings, why you are all jacked up even AFTER the 72 hours or so it takes to get the nicotine physically out of your system. Reading imparts knowledge; knowledge imparts power; power enables control; take control over this thing. But it's up to you to seek it out. Sixth -- ASK. Us Sultans are not shy about giving advice, and the veterans round here are friggin awesome. Seventh -- stay plugged into this site for at least the first week.

Or just what NOLAQ Says:

Post Roll saying you won't use
Honor your Word
Repeat.

(much simpler).
