Again thanks for the support everyone. Yesterday was a relatively good day baring a few craves which I shot down immediately with sunflower seeds and a little strumming of my guitar. I know this is constant battle and I refuse to let my guard down, I have gloves on and I'm coming out swinging.
Guitar,, hmmm. I dibble dabble a little myself. Great escape brother. The guitar was actually a big trigger for me. If i was practicing i had a lipper in. As i found out, and you will,, we don't need that lipper for the guitar. That poison didn't help while i was flatpicking a little blue grass. Never helped while i was strumming a church tune. Never once did it help me learn songs faster. That lipper never once helped me while i was putting some new riffs together.

As time passes you will discover that the poison actually helped you with nothing. Go ahead and get that roll posted early and put my name right beside yours. I quit with you today my friend.
I bet Peaceful Easy Feeling by the Eagles sounds real good and much better from a non-nicotene guitar.

well done and keep moving forward
I don't know who the fuck you think you are using a deviation of my user name, but.....just kidding. It looks like you have a good attitude towards the whole KTC mentality. Keep it up brother, it only gets better.

I had never played guitar without a dip in my mouth until 348 days ago. Now, I will never play guitar again with a dip in my mouth....and it is fucking AWESOME! I still play like shit, but it's better. On the inside.

Okay, enough mushy shit. Post up in October 2012 with us, and you will get some unbelievable quit support. Some of the most BADASS quitters on the site. Check your INBOX for a PM with my number....let me know if I can help with your quit Brother....QLAFM

Well my name is first name is Josh, hence the J. My last name is Vest, hence the article of clothing part :D

I am in the Sept quit group and I don't plan on falling off the wagon. I must admit though yesterday was pure hell. My lady friend asked what size plate I would like during dinner yesterday and my response was "I don't fucking care, whatever size the fucking food fits on"

She had been through this before, me trying to quit. She just said "okay" and walked away. She fully supports me and is grateful that I have found this site. I tell her everyday about the outreach I have received since coming here. I truly do appreciate every person who has messaged me or left me some words of encouragement.
Right on Josh! Bring the rage here though, dish it out in your intro, in your group or in live chat. Your lady friend shouldn't need to own your shit, she didn't put it in your face for you - you did that. So did all of us, so you're in pretty good company. Just remember before you blow your top about a plate or new towels or whatever is up next - tell her IN A NICE WAY that you value and respect her opinion and you don't have strong feelings about it. then come here and bitch about it! Keep it up Josh.

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.

ivest - keep us posted. Post in this thread every once in a while to let us know how you're doing. I'm not a veteran or anything (day 68 today), but I've seen fire and I've seen rain (who the fuck hasn't, James Taylor? Seriously, what a fucking stupid lyric), and I know the craves can be a bitch from Hell but its all relative and its all manageable. If the fucking idiots on this site (myself included, hell probably top five in terms of idiocy) can get through to the other side, so can you. The craves and shit are a bunch of fucking mind game bullshit. Stay quit, and I swear to your god that you will fucking love the outcome.
So, you see, the puppy was like industry, in that they were both lost in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy - "society" - knew where to find 'em. Except that the puppy... was a DOG. But the industry, my friends, THAT was a revolution.

quit on man...just reach out...and print off the contract on the home page...when you are craving which will be frequently, read the contract, look at the pictures of the cancer pictures, go for a run...didn't read if you were married or not, but if you are not, go out and get some strange...if you are married, tell your wife you are going to require a bj every time you get a crave (damn i just thought of that....i need to tell my own wife that!). Anyhow, you got this...
Boy I sure could use a beer right about now!

Awesome! Thanks for your service. Not a lot to add other than reach out if you need anything. It takes a Bad ass to do this so you shouldn't have any problems since you have already proven your bad assery. This process is hell on earth, my suck was miserably bad. Hang in here let me know if you need anything

Thank you everyone for the support! This is just as hard as my previous attempts at quitting but this is the first time I have had this much support and encouragement. I plan on doing nothing this weekend but reading posts and fighting cravings.
