Went to the family doctor for my first check up since i quit. i told the doc back in march that april 1st would be my first day of quit. he was very impressed and happy to hear that i have not used tobacco since March 31st. I talked about this site and he was very interested. We discussed it in length and i mentioned that the site works, but its not for the faint of heart. he is going to research the site and use it as a tool for chewers looking to quit and for smokers that need to be held accountable.

I've really been struggling this last week. I've almost caved. I have not caved, however it's been so fucking hard not to buy a can. this truly sucks.
What's that old adage about "almost"? Something about horseshoes and hand grenades?... or was it pregnancy? ... oh, fuck it

This is my point: There is no "almost caved." Either you eat the shit or you don't.

If you have a craving for a split second, throw in a toothpick and forget about it, you're quit.

If you have a bad craving and yell at your dog for three fucking hours and forget about it, you're quit.

If you have a monster crave and buy a can and open it and smell it and poke the shit with your fingers and cry into it and then get past it, you're quit.

You're a fucking quit monster in all instances. The hope, of course, is you use this site and your brothers to minimize the pain and get back on track quicker, without crying.

Caving is not an option quitter.

Find something else to do.

Boiler,

Man I'm right there with you. I think I'm finally turning the corner on a week long bout of serious craves. It's some tough shit to get punched in the nuts like that when your quit is cruising along. Like Bruce mentioned, I went back to the basics of the first week or two... Posting roll, spending more time on-site, interacting with newbs, seeds, gum, fake, and limited booze.

The whole time, though, I wasn't in danger of ACTUALLY caving. That option ceased to exist on day 1. The boats have long since burnt down to ash and the only thing left to do is fight my way out of my own fucking mess.

Boiler, you're in the same situation. Your quit is safe. You have too many brothers and sisters fighting along side of you to fall victim to this latest offensive. You let me know, and I'll take a few hundred bullets for you. Call and rage, call and cry, but let me know when you need me.

You got this.

All day.

One day at a time.

Stay quit... it is life or death and that is the undeniable truth.

Hang in there Boiler! I have had a number of deep bone aching craves to fornicate with the nic bitch, and they have been coming on strong and frequent and seem like they started in my 90s just a few days before my HOF! Then I go and post roll, that saves me every time! The nic bitch is on every corner shaking her ass! You can beat her tho! Proud to be quit with you brother ! nico
Boiler,

You are stronger than nicotine. I know you can do this, I have watched your quit unfold from the very beginning, and it has been an inspiration to me. There is no way a crave can make you cave. You don't do that sh@t anymore! Time to get angry, angry at the people who push this crap to kids, the company that made you a slave by slipping a deadly drug to you all these years. That crave you are feeling is thanks to them. They want you back as a customer- but you ain't going back. You aren't their slave anymore.

PROUD to be quit with you,

30

"Take pride in your healing. It canÂ’t hurt you. Only you can do that. Enjoy your recovery donÂ’t fear it. Embrace your craves. Enjoy your journey home as there is very special person waiting at the other end."

From the link Scowick provided below--this is the last line of that essay-----this is powerful!

I am realizing that To Quit relay means to just accept TRUTH over falsehood! A crave is a preconditioned LIE and when we consciously accept and ackowledge the crave, we shine the light of TRUTH on it----and when we expose it the Truth has prevailed over the preconditioned LIE.

Glad you posted this up. We read your stuff. When the craves are bad read this: http://killthecan.org/robs/embracing.asp

and this.

The fact that you are having a hard time and you did not cave means your quit is strong. Stay strong. PM me if you need a number. You can count on me.

Last night I had a very vivid dip dream. I woke up so fucking pissed off at myself. i'm actually still a little shaken over it.
Cave dreams are the best. No better way to get reminded about how shitty you'd feel if you decided to be a loser and go back to the can.

And yes: Ramble away, dood. The bitch got nothing on you.

God, I love seeing your avatar. Funniest part of that movie.

the nic bitch is jedi mind fucking me. damn it.

why not buy a can, then quit again? ummm, cause you're a whore.
go bum one from Joe, he won't care. fuck yourself, dickface.
one pinch won't hurt. i'm an addict, the thought of a pinch is hurting me

alright, enough. I am quit today, like i was quit yesterday and the 80+ days prior to that. I will handle tomorrow when it gets here. Until then, my answer is no.
