Day 1 - hello

[Derk40]

See my comments below

Hey everyone.

I'm here to answer my 3 questions and hopefully some (probably not all) will accept me back.  I WANT to quit, I WANT to be free, I WANT this

1) What happened?
I caved.  I was beaten by my addiction. You are an addict. I am an addict. The difference bewtween you and me is that from my day 1 I have come here, listened to these people, trusted and believed every word that they have said, and accepted that I knew SHIT about quitting an addiction. I had to trust these guys and the results are 354 straight days of no nicotine. You were not beaten by your addiction. You made a conscious decision to return to slavery. Had you kept your word, your promise to us, you would not be in this situation.

2) Why did it happen?
I didn't reach out for support - and I have plenty of numbers.  I sat around during the mid-afternoon craves and I let myself get tricked into thinking that I can't do this.  I didn't feel I was confident enough to fight my addiction but that was probably my addiction talking.  This is a weak answer. You didn't want to quit. You didn't quit. You stopped for two days. Then you used nic-gum, lozenges, patches, and who knows what else. IF you took the time to read anything on here, and were serious, you would never would have made that mistake.

3) What are you going to do different this time?
I'm going to use my support system before I do something stupid.  I won't question my gut.  I won't beat myself up if I feel I can't do this and NEED help.  I'm going to quit, just for one day.  Success starts with POSTING ROLL. I don't see your name on there. That's a issue. Next. After posting roll you need to keep your word ALL DAY; you had a problem with that last time. Third, what about all that NRT stuff you or your gf bought. Where is it? Are you keeping it for an emergency? Whose numbers do you have? Name names! Who has your number?

Let me know if my head isn't in the right place. -- You tell me. Are you in the right place?

I am glad you are back and answering the 3 questions. There must be something in you that wants to quit or else you would not be coming back in here.

I want to ask you.... Are you asking permission to quit? Or are you going to take the Nic B out behind the woodshed and QLF? If you get a crave today... are you going to fold like a deck of cards and go back to your master. Or are you going to fight for your life? If someone puts a can of dip or some NRT items in your face... are you going to stuff your face, or are you going to tell that person to get that crap out of your face or you will rearrange their face?

I want to see some fire in you! Aren't you pissed off here? That fire is what is going to keep you quit brother. No fire in the belly ... you are toast!!!

Before you post roll make sure you are READY to quit today! You came in posted roll in December on Monday then caved quickly. You posted on Wednesday in Janauary caved again. So that is 2 caves in less than a week. Do not take posting roll lightly! If you do it... then damnit -- you bust your a$$ to stay quit today!!!

Dexter... you are either in the "third time is a charm" category, or the "three strikes and your out category". It is up to you to decide which one you are in bro.

I am not going anywhere today. I posted roll  I am QLF today. Are you ready to join me  the rest of the bad a$$ quitters here? When you are ready... PM me your number  I will quit with you.

Dexter... I am getting ready to hit the rack. I was hopeful to see a response from you today. I saw you reading evil  my response to your post. But nothing. That is part of the reason why people hassle you some. Trying to see if you are serious. Based on your non-response... all that can be taken from that is you are not serious. Do you have nothing to say? Did we scare you off?

Brother,,, you may not have the perfect response to the 3 questions, my post, evils post, anyone else's post... who cares. The most important question is do you want to quit. If you do... then step up and quit. Post ROLL and stay quit! You can stay quit today... that is how this all starts my brother. Don't be hesitant to step forward  quit because your trying to say something smart that will make us all happy. Actions speak louder than words.

I am trying to figure out what is going on here. Maybe I am off base, but I am lost. Did you post roll in the December group the other day? I believe you did... if so, then you need to answer the 3 questions and explain what will be different this time. You need to answer to December  January... but really this is for you. it is the price of admission back after quitting  caving.

You don't get to just sign up here, post roll, cave, and then just stroll in here with an "oh well, I caved this morning... guess i will post a new day 1."

That is not how it works. We all have a little more pride in our quit than that.

Sounds like you don't want to quit. Nicorette gum? Have you read anything about this site. Cold turkey! We don't do nicorette gum in these parts. Anything with nicotine is not an option. Dump it and quit, or go get your head right  come back when you are ready. As stated, you got to want this. Flip floppin around is a waste of everyone's time.

Here are the 3 questions you need to answer when you are ready to quit.

Why did it happen?

:scowick: Nothing to see here except another special butterfly.....

Seriously-
Answer the 3 questions
Post roll
Don't put that shit in your mouth

Don't you dare use us like the bitch uses you.  Posting here without posting roll is unacceptable. 

You think quitting nicotine is hard, try quitting cancer.outdoor texan

Get your shit together bub, we do this every day, you can too.  The only reason you cave is because you want to cave.

Damn hard night!! 20 day fog shit I guess! Wife said I've been mean to kids. That I've been hollering at them. I didn't realize I was. I apologized  told her that she didn't understand what I was going thru, told her I could start dipping again if that would make her happy. Thank God she said no! I'm finished with the nic bitch. It's taking time to re-adjust to life without the bitch!! Thanks for the support KTC!! I'm staying quit!!

Hey MJ, you should start your own intro page to document your quit and be a place where you get much needed support.

You don't need to be knocing around this losers intro.

What the FUCK is this bullshit??!

Hey Dexter, it's obvious you're a fucking pussy and don't appreciate this site or the support it provides.

Until you grow some balls and show some respect, kindly fuck off and hit the bricks pal.

This is a place for quitters. Not only do you keep caving but your an ass about it.

Take a looong look in the mirror...that's a pussy ass bitch staring back at you. Only YOU can do something about it. Appears you're content with it though, so best of LUCK to you.

[Mike from AB]

he caved again

True, but there's lots of guys like CaliforniaSlim  yourself who made it through another day without caving. Who are facing their days headon without nic  winning!
:j2b:
I got no problems with do overs, I thought when I started that Id surely need a few, but the do over isn't free. You have to honestly answer the 3 questions. Why? So you learn something about yourself as a man  don't waste the opportunity of a cave to learn about how you'll do better for yourself the next time. Caving isn't the end of the world, it happens, it's what you do with it that makes all the difference! Although the goal is one day at a time, you're not even making it that far if everyday is a new day 1.

Hello everyone,

New member but not new to the site.  I have visited a few times in the past when I have "quit" (I say "quit" because I have always caved and never been "successful").

I haven't been using that long (about 4-5 years, on and off), but I'm excited to get rid of it once and for all, get back to feeling like the old me, get more things done, feel more in-tune with everything around me and less cathartic.

I tossed the can after my drive to work this morning.  Now it's all up to me to prove if I'm man enough.

I also wanted to thank everyone out there for this resource - there is a lot of good reading to prepare and know what to expect.  And thank you everyone for your future support! lol

Joke was indeed on us.

Dexter - Take some time and do some soul searching. Had you kept your original promise, you would be emerging from the suck tomorrow. You might have had your first OK day. Your body and brain might have gotten to work healing.

Call us when you're ready to live life as a free man.

[Mike from AB]

We are not your enemy. We are your lifeline.

This. You win the internet today bro. +1

The support on this site is truly incredible! Yes it's hard, yes you have to want it,  yes you'll have to do alot of self examination  reflection through the whole process. THat's called healing.

[CaliforniaSlim]

We are not your enemy. We are your lifeline.

I actually like that anger your demonstrating.  Turn that towards your real enemy and you will get stronger. Balls in your court.

Connect the dots for all the keywords above, THEN go back and re-read everything srans told you. I also reiterated his last piece of advice about anger. Everything srans said in his post is awesome and on point. His post is an inspirational "frame of mind"...

Yes, Srans, I agree with your post as well. I'm not looking for coddling, I'm not looking for hand-holding. I'm just wondering why everyone thinks I'm disrespecting the process here when I came in on Monday and posted roll when I was asked to. IT'S ON ME, simmer down.

I haven't caved, I'm on day 2. I quit today but not because I feel invigorated by some of the folks on here. I'm quitting for me.

Well Dexter... that is how we the F we do things here! I explained it to you very nicely below.

If I caved today... and came back tomorrow and just said I am posting day 1... I would get my ass lit up! I would need to answer  explain myself.

Not sure what you don't get about that. If you don't want to answer... then go away.
