New and Day 1

21 days! Busy crazy schedule keeps my clean.

Made my dr appointment to get my throat checked out...not going to be fun at all.

At least you are not going to that appointment still chewing!

Exactly! And that's such an awesome thing. Your throat is 21 days better.

Oh I know it's tough and no easy and I am not ready to give up posting roll, just wondering if anyone had ideas

I have cruised before and have seen a computer setup, I think you pay per kb or something. Usually when my wife and I go we leave everything behind, get rid of all of our electronics, go back to an old school watch lol. I'll have to check and see what my options are. I know the computers were only open during certain times and there were lines... I would point and laugh and say my vacation is to get away from that stuff

I understand, but I also know when I have been on vacation in the past, I used to smoke the shit out of cigars. I also used to chew a lot while on vacation. Keep your quit close, is all I am saying Scott. I know after 14 days I was not ready to not post up every day.

Do whatever you can do. Even if it means paying some cash, this your life! Being sure to get on each day will pay off. Plus it'll remind you of your integrity.

Well I have passed the two week mark. I'm feeling strong in my quit. Do I crave, get tempted, list after the can.... Not as much it's decreasing daily. What's tough is being at work where all the guys chew... I mean even yesterday in a staff meeting 3 guys had spitters on the table  'zombie'

It's less than 30 days from my vacation. I've never been away from home that long... Or that far. I guess the good thing is as long as I get on the boat with no cans I won't have access lol. It sucks that I'm going to miss posting role for that long 16-17 days.

Congrats on a week, but I do have to ask... will you have access to text or make a phone call each day to someone on here to vouch for your quit?

Thanks Rob it's two weeks now.

As of now no I won't have any communications. I am leaving on a cruise from Florida to Europe, I'll be on the boat 16 days. I was thinking maybe I do a hand written thing and text a pic at the end showing all the days marked off.

What do you guys think? Any ideas? I'm not planning on getting an international phone or anything for the trip.

Yeah, meant to say two weeks. lol :unsure:

I was over on the third level of frustration debating with a "nicotine replacement therapy" guy. I came in here and didn't even realize that I had put only a "week".

Congrats on two weeks... it's a big deal!

Scott, TWO WEEKS! you go man, every day just quit for every day and they all add up! As for your cruise, they don't have a computer lab? Man, I know it would be a pain to post while on vacation but, man it's important!

Good job Scott. The days are climbing. Each day it does get easier. Just be ready, ive noticed around the thirty mark the nic bitch takes another swing for some. I had a bad week around that time. I'm sure you'll come out of every battle untouched though. Why? Because you weren't playing when you told the nic bitch enough was enough. I quit with you today scott.

What can I say about this past week? How can I explain to someone else exactly what I have been through so far.
Some words come to mind offhand - hell - torture - skull bashing- on fire - loopy - dizzy - distracted - Rage - bonding - brotherhood - strength - power over Nic ....

So many thoughts have and continue to run through my mind non stop. The thing I can't get over is the sense of the brotherhood, I mean I'm not as close as most people are on here and I can see it in everyone's posts. Whenever I get a chance in my hectic day I try to read through some posts. Half my battle there is my schedule just being so busy, the other is doing all of this from my cell phone.

I am still fighting urges and craves, fighting the temper flare ups and everything else that pops up. I have not given up, have not caved and stay true to the quit. After a week it's getting a little easier

So to everyone out there if you are thinking about quitting - do it, do it now. There is no time like now, it will not get any easier later. For everyone who has started the quit- keep strong and hang on. Keep it touch with your brothers and read the posts. For the old timers on here - Thank you - Thank You - Thank You!!! You guys have given me the strength and courage to do this.

To all my quit brothers in June - keep it up and keep it strong. Keep the quit going!!

Way to go Scott! Just remember to keep your quit close. After a week you get a new feeling of being solid. Then a trigger or a crave will hit you like a ton of bricks. If you have gone this far you can go another day, then wash rinse and repeat. Keep it up, I am just as committed to you as any other brother on this site.

Great job Scottm. One week,, be proud because you have made it farther than a lot of people even dream of making it. I remember thinking I would quit several times and never made it through one day. The first two were the hardest for me scott, then it got a lot easier with a few speed bumps along the 40 day trail. You and wade seem to be right there together, so it would be good for ya'll if you haven't already to exchange digits. I'm proud to be quit with you scotm.

Read back over what KKLJINC said. That is the gospel. Celebrate the accomplishments, but don't let them distract you. Keep your focus and have a plan ready.

Oh..... it gets better. Much better. Hang in there.
