Quitting and ED

[Hambone007]

I must have missed this post, I did however get my days mixed up, when I posted this I was at 8 days and 45 min, I added a day! Now today is my 10th day! I feel foggy but so glad I set down the tin 5/11/2013 at 9:11 am!

Quitters gonna quit... Users gonna use!

How you doing bro? I don't see that you posted roll today? Everything good? If you forgot, post roll now.

get it, hambone!

how do you feel after 10 days?

I'll tell u how he ought to feel.
Like he's been a bad ass quitter for 10 days. He's had his freedom and dignity back. He's not been spending his hard earned money on something that is slowly killing him. His brain is now receiving the proper amount of oxygen and is healing. I would say he probably feels better about himself than he has in a long time.

I can say all this because i know how i felt after 10 days.

The real question is how do you feel?

Full of hope. (Edit: To be clear, I was referring to whoabot's statement that he "hopes" to quit someday. Sounds like he's still hoping. So much hope.)

I think it's all mental. If your gonna quit it has to be cold turkey, no safety nets. In 9hrs and 45 min I will be on day 10. I need this hard withdraw to remind me that if I start again I will have to go through all this over!

( if I start again..) lose that mentality.. this is the only time you'll quit. I stopped using nic many, many, many, times. But I quit once..like a mofo

you guys are twisted -- bottom line. is this a cult or a support website?

forgive me for "disrespecting that one principle" of using a nicotine patch. i didnt see that rule explicitly written anywhere on here.

Our Mission

See rule #1

really? you must not understand the term "explicitly written".

they're trying to help you.. the hardest part of this journey is the start. The sooner you get the nicotine out of your system, the sooner you can heal.. You're just delaying the inevitable.. I spent over $1000 in my lifetime on nic gum  patches.. Guess what? they don't work... just more chemicals in your system. When I used the patch years ago I could taste the chemical shit in my mouth, now the thought gives me chicken skin..

Was trying to stay out of this but ....

Question - Does an Alcoholic only quit Bourbon? Of course that answer is a resounding NO as it is the alcohol that is the drug that they are quitting.

If you look in the Welcome Center, this is a Site for Quitting Smokeless Tobacco, but the drug in question here is Nicotene, so ANY FORM of nicotene needs to be kept out of our body, and yes that includes patches.

That is why you are getting the reaction from people who are dedicated to the quit, and are here reaching out to one another, as an addict to another one, to lend a hand to get you through the process.

So if this is something that you really want, then you have come to the right place, but you need to realize that for what each and every one of us who has been there and gone through the hard times, it it not just "disrespecting the one principle", it is disrespecting the people who have followed that.

you call to keep spending the money on something else, or starting to save it and actually getting yourself healthier in the process. I will quit with you but only if you are serious.

It has been a week 7 days and still you can't get over the talk of the patch woahbot?? WTF man it's plain as day....the patch is giving you a small dose of NIC through the 4/6/8 hour plan whatever it is. This site KTC is against any form of NIC simple fucking simon!!! Get it or GTFO!! Your call....or is that too twisted??

Patches are for pussies. Patch = not quit. Once you get rid of your security blanket, post a Day 1 in August and keep your word. Simple enough....

Be a man!!!

Whether nicotine dependency was established and/or maintained by being chewed, smoked, drank, snuffed, sprayed, swallowed, sucked, licked or patched, in the end there is only one way out - no nicotine today.

not sure why you're worried about your junk ya big pussy.

you don't have to hope around these parts. the only thing you have to do to quit is to just fucking quit. make up your mind, and let it be so.

sadly, i get the sense that the force is weak in this one.

you dont know me. and if you were strong enough to quit on your own, you wouldnt be on this website in the first place.

sadly, i think the intelligence is weak with this one.

Take it from me.. I tried EVERYTHING to quit.. Nothing worked.. Then I did it the KTC way hence day 288... it's a fucking no brainer... KTC works, but you have to listen to the elders...

i hear ya but recklessly passing judgement doesnt do anybody any good.

Funny thing is I do know you. I've seen dozens of guys roll through here saying that they're going to do it their way... Patch, gum, ecig, whatever. You are nothing new around these parts, snowflake.

And the quitter who has made up his mind and IS quit, doesn't have to hope or wish anything. They still need the support of their brothers and sisters, but they take control of their lives and don't leave it to chance, fate, or any other hocus pocus bullshit.

Grow some balls, rip off the patch, and quit like a man with a purpose.

[traumagnet]

yep we all welcomed you your first days gave you support told you the rules here and you wanted to do it your way and keep your nicotine receptors fed, now you bring your nicotine filled ass back here (slap us addicts in the face) and you are still posting and defending your position when you are not supposed to post until you post roll. I don't want to sound harsh but this place is for quitters...we have paid our dues and we hang together and will protect each other from the NIC BITCH. You will see too when you quit what its like when someone comes into your home with the chemical we are fighting against...I guarantee you wont like it.
