It was a random quit. Came in one week and my gum was hurting and I knee jerk quit. I didn't make any other changes in my life to support giving it up.  I kept on drinking and eating like I always did and the first football game of the season that year was more than I could handle. Now, I know I have to make other changes in my life.

Yeah I'll try to PM you the old email account. I tried to log in with it but I didn't remember my password. Yeah I was a liar I get it. I'm just trying to be upfront.
It's all good to be upfront.

We're hard on you because we want you to be quit. If you're lying to us, then we can't help you. If you're lying to yourself, we can't help you until you realize that.

So, what happened the first time around? Foggy confusion? Why'd ya give up on the quit so soon?

I'm a lot of things (a slave to that mess for 30 years first and foremost) but I'm not a liar. I've been on here before. Two years ago I think. Never did an intro or anything that I remember. The attempted quit only lasted a week. I've been back to a can a day ever since. I'm sure some on here will ask "How is this go around any different?" and I don't have a good answer for that. All I can do is prove it. I'm going to prove to myself that I can beat this mess. I'm going to prove to my 4 wonderful kids that I can do this and that I want to be a part of their lives for years to come. Especially to my 17 year old son. He has no idea how much it broke my heart to find that empty can of Copenhagen in his truck. All I know is that I've been nicotine free for 13 hours now and I'm going to do this.
Do you remember your old account name? Do you know what email address you would have used back then (you can pm it to me.)

And, btw, you are a liar. You have lied and stolen time from others to feed your addiction. You said that you wanted to quit 2 years ago and that, sir, is a lie.

Thanks man. Sorry for posting a new thread just for that. I should have looked more carefully. Mind not working too efficiently at the moment...
This is your intro and you can post whatever you want here. Most keep a running log of how they were feeling so they can look back at it.

If you need help just reach out.

...and failed....

He just had so much going on in his little life that he couldn't make it...poor little thing....

...and the rest of us didn't have anything going on in our life's when we quit...

F that...I am pissed....
You want your freedom and keep it,,, YOU GOT TO TAKE IT!!!! To fall back to slavery means you didn't want it bad enough.

Bama,, you were doing it man. You made it a few days, which means you were getting closer and closer to that first door. That first door is hard to get to and open, but once you get there things improve and everything gets easier.

Well, i'm not going anywhere,, I love my new life. I wish you could see what I see brother. Come back when you RRRRREEEAAALLLLLY Want to quit.
I have started to take it personally when I have reached out to help someone and I see they fail without giving it their all to succeed.

I mean, I go through each day without failing because I told you, Wedge, Minny, Pinched, Applejack, Sportsfan and many other's that I quit dipping 44 days ago. If I fail, we all fail.

So now I feel like I could fail because I have seen Bama fail and I don't like the feeling of that.
It doesn't feel good to any of us when someone caves. Its a reminder that we are all just 1 stupid/weak decision away from the same fate.

However, the good news is that caving is a choice. Therefore we are all in control of our own quit fate. My choice is to stay quit no matter what. A caver can make all the excuses they want - but it boils down to one thing: they decided that they are too big of a wussie to live life without being constantly medicated by a cancer causing substance. How stupid is that??

Keep making the right choice everyday, and you don't have to worry about whether you might cave someday.
Cavers use to get to me upset. Especially when they are/were in my group. As time goes on it will not bother you as much. It actually fuels my quit now. Now, when I see a cave, especially from a person that's post 100, It lets me know that I'm an addict and I can never let MY guard down. I can never listen to my addict mind or I will fall right back into the nicotine obis. I don't know who first said it, but I like it. Cavers find a way to cave and quitters find a way to quit.

I chose to stay quit today. I hate the poison. I hated it when I woke up. As the day progresses I will hate it more and more. Screw the poison. I got more important things to do then lose sleep over a CAVER!!
Well said, Srans! 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.

I'm with you guys, yeah we might all be close to just one decision away from a cave but it's still a decision.  I got up this morning  made the best decision I could to go  post roll.  I can't worry about the future, only what I'm doing for myself today.  So that I might one day like srans  yall, be enjoying my new life.
Good job guys. I texted him on august 28 and asked how it was going. That was the Wednesday in which he said he struggles. He responded mouth full of seeds and I had seeds in my mouth then as well. Left the conversation die at that point. Can't dwell on cavers. It effected me greatly early on. We all want the same thing or at least we thought we did. I quit with you all today.
I did too then. I don't think it was a lack of anyone not reaching out enough. I think everybody reached out, but in the end, you still have to do it for yourself, I can't get it done for you. It affected me too though as he was the first one I'd seen/known who left.
