Planned quit date Nov 1

[worktowin]

You people are quick to judge and quick to say you have a person all figured out and not giving the benefit of the doubt.....you don't know shit but so you know my status, i have been quit off of all tobacco and quit off of all nicotine products for 3 and a half weeks no thanks to you all......so fuck you very much; i'll support my own ass from here on!

So since it isn't 4 weeks, then I guess that planned quit date of November 1 didn't quite work out like you thought, which is pretty much what everybody was saying to begin with. I don't see how you came out on top on this argument? Glad you're not using right now, but all I can say is good luck. I for one know for certain that without this place I'd still be using. If you don't need it, good for you. No need to rain on everybody else's parade with how big your balls are.

Dude post Roll or piss off! The odds of you making it by yourself are slim to none! What did you come in here bragging on your 3.5 week's? You wanna show how big your balls are, impress us all post Roll and make a promise everyday! Nobody was quick to judge you just didn't bring your ass back when you said you was. Obviously you were needing a little something or you would have never showed up here today. Oh if you're trying to hurt feelings here I would say not gonna happen!

Congratulations on 3.5 weeks quit. Good luck doing it your way.

Thanks for dropping by to sprinkle some of your breathtaking quit knowledge on us while building up the brotherhood and adding to your extensive accountability. Sarcasm

This place is about winning together. This place isn't about being a fuckwipe on your own. you had a lot of bad asses show up to try and help and your response is to tell everyone to fuck off? Man if I were an admin I'd ban your ass. You are like quit Isis in my book. Toxic as hell to the process.

Brotherhood + Accountability = Success

By all means, please go and 'stop' on your own...again. I think it was you that said that after 20 years you "gave into dip one day"...then stopped using nicotine lozenges...then started right up finger-banging the can, AGAIN.

Yep, sounds like you got this all figured out. So, if that is in deed the case, and we have no clue what we're talking about, then be my guest. Go stop using nicotine for whatever period of time. As far as I can tell, you've never actually quit and I'll be damn happy to go fuck myself (per your request) because I certainly don't want to do it your way. Especially with that awesome track record you have.

I'm guessing that Pilgrim had a lip full of grizzly most of the day yesterday. Hell, it was his birthday, why not have fun!

I'm sure that he will quit on New Year's Day for sure.... :P

What I really like about this thread is Bean's response within 20 minutes of Pilgrim posting his plan. The plan was doomed to fail and it did.

[invader]

Okay. This is the last time I say anything here. I promise. I only bump this thread for new quitters, or those "planning" to quit to see where that "plan" actually leads since we are in fact on November 1st now. This thread didn't do any good for the one who created it, but maybe it can do some good for someone else. Here's the summary for those who don't want to read the entire exciting saga...

1.) Pilgrim, the person who started this intro page, came here planning to quit over a month from the day he showed up: November 1st.
2.) After some encouragement, he bumped his "planned" quit day to October 1st. (Bonus trivia question: Q.) What's the difference between a planned quit day that's 5 years away, and one that's 5 minutes away? A.) Nothing. You're not quit until you're quit.) Anyway, as you might imagine, he didn't show up on October 1st.
3.) I decided to check here today just on the Hail Mary chance that our man Pilgrim would be here and posting. Not so. In fact, he hasn't even logged in since the 26th of September. I wonder if he even remembers coming here. As of my posting this, I *guess* he technically has 7 hours left before it's the 2nd...but come on. 'no'

The moral of the story: Quitting does not require "planning" any more than taking a leak does. You lift the lid, you put in the nasty stuff, and you pull the handle.

If you're on this site and want to quit, then quit! Now is the best time.

How 'bout we let this thread fade away already... no more time needs to be wasted on it. Dude hasn't been on since Sep 26.

Sad.

Movin' on...

He's still got another full two weeks before his "plan" fully kicks in. Cut the guy some slack.

Pilgrim: when and if you ever decide to accept reality and face it head on, just know that your only reasonable shot at staying quit for the long haul is if you go cold turkey. I know you can do it, because I did it and so did thousands of other guys here in the exact same boat as you. There are no tricks or shortcuts for tackling this addiction. There is only one way, and there is no way out but through.

Nut up.

Tis a shame, but an example for 2 reasons.

1 - of the power of the poison and the addiction to just keep tugging at a person and keep them bound, which is why cold turkey is the way that is proven to just end it all and quit.

2 - of the power that our word can be. I saw stated a Nov 1, then a move up to Oct 1. And he has not been back yet, so I guess he did not adhere to his word. If only he did, that would have been a start.

Learn each and every day, as this can help. Use this in one's own arsenal as we all continue to be free and clean

What happens to a quit deferred?

[JB65]

Me too Stranger, I find myself back here all the time. I think you said it best, it reminds me of the DIP RATIONALE thinking I used to do.

Everything was planned around making sure I could dip, get a few minutes to 'relax' i used to call it. My wife called it my 'me time'.

Dip while driving out of town. Stop for a few sales calls. Dip on way to hotel. Have a pre-dinner one in hotel room. Go torestaurant and eat dinner, have one after dinner, and a late night one before bed. Wake up and start it over.

Funny I though I was hiding dipping from the wife and 17 year old son all these years.... WRONG!!!!!!!

Just another example of the nic mind saying " you get your dip, they dont know about it, and before you spit this one out, think about how you are gonna plan the next one"

Unreal.

I sure hope Pilgrim comes back and quits

[Stranger999]

I know he probably won't be back.. I'm more spending the energy to write this for myself, and perhaps any other lookers..

My job sponsors nicotine replacement too. Just because people aren't as successful cold turkey, doesn't mean its okay. Nicotine replacement, is for babies and for wimps. I say this because I used it.. I used the until my Day 1 on this site where I ripped it off. I used it for 2 days and thought damn, I wanna join the guys at KTC. I wanna join a quit group.

September 17 at about 11PM, I was trying to stick the damn patch back on after sweating it off and thought damn, how fucking pathetic do I look, trying to stick on this piece of plastic cause I wanted to get a "fix."

If you got the drive and motivation, thats all that matters. And support from other BAQs helps too.

e=mc^2 is spot on. Furthermore, think of the term "nicotine replacement." Nicotine replacement? NICOTINE replacement?! Nicotine is not a substance that needs "replaced" to begin with! We're not talking about testosterone or estrogen or some sort of hormone or mineral some people end up being deficient in. We're talking about an addictive drug that not only doesn't need replenished, but needs to be avoided at all costs.

If you want to replace nicotine, replace it with posting roll and integrity. Works great.

This and this above!!!!!

It is October 11th, 10 days after Pilgrim's revised quit date. He has not been here in over two weeks.

How is that planned quit working? I wonder....

Don't plan to quit - quit for real.

Let's see if Pilgrim shows up here on November 1st, the original quit date.

I love this thread.
