Why is this? Does she smoke or just want to keep watching you slowly kill yourself?

Hopefully your not raging and taking it out on her.
He's an idiot. Move along. (like thor)
Damn. I gotta start paying attention to the dates on these things. I'm responding to shit from 7 months ago like it was from today.

Dude sounds like a waste, worthy of only some fumunda cheese.
I'm still waiting on answers to questions. Yet he is allowed to post without answering... WTF?

(1) What happened?
(2) Why did it happen?
(3) What are you doing differently this time?

Need to answer here, your new group and the July 2013 (aka Junk Free July)

This is my second time around. I caved on Nov. 25th, 2012 . I am a retired locomotive engineer and a 25 year user. I flushed it down the toilet this morning around 900 am. I won't go into the reasons I caved, personal problems etc., but I will say this board was instrumental in my success the last time.I QUIT ! I QUIT !
Thanks
After you get to answering the big 3 questions, try this one: What success "the last time"? Maybe I missed it, but I don't see any success. You mean the break from nic you took for about around 300 days out of the last 9000 (NINE THOUSAND) days. Is that the "success"?
Duster - saw you in chat and welcome. You will see alot to get you to answer those 3 questions that Wastepanel has stated. This is the time for you to look inside yourself, be honest and learn from what happened in your life before and what you can do for yourself to make the quit this time stick.

So I see you stated 'personal reasons' but in order to really be as successful as you can, it is best to write out here so you can get it off your chest and not hide.

This is for your benefit. And from what you say, can also help others.
Welcome, but you're old enough you should know better. Now getter done right this time.

Nope. That ain't going to fly (or ride a track or something).

(1) What happened?
(2) Why did it happen?
(3) What are you doing differently this time?

It looks like your wife was not happy about your quit last time. What about now?
^^^^ what he said.... Plus I have one more question, you caved in November, why wait almost five months? When you caved in November, did you not go whoa, what am I doing? No instead you went on chewing for 5 months. 'Crazy'

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Good job on your decision. Try to get an herbal supplement. That might help with the cravings and oral fixation and it's safe. We're here for you. Let me know if I can help in anyway. Email me, message me but don't give in.

What they said. Bring the rage here. We've raged and been raged on. Keeps the.place interesting.

Lots of exercise and water helped me a lot. Great choice you made dusteroo.
