Quit 33 years

[Jason Raiford]

Erussel and Cbird....thank all of you guys! I stand with you and quit! I take roll very serious and will not fail!

I felt like I was free yesterday for the first time. I even smiled and thought....I dont have to worry about cancer or buying the crap anymore.

I wanted to intruduce myself. I dipped for 30 years plus. I was given the habbit by my third grade baseball coach. I never tried to quit and never thought about the quit. I have not dipped for three days now....I almost caved yesterday. I thought of my family and you guys. Thought of the promise and the contract I would have to fill out. I won....but the battle starts again today. If I can quit for three days after 30 years.....anyone can do this. It was my baby and at the same time my demon. I quit with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow you are posting roll which make you a badd ass as long as you keep that work remember it is a promise. It's not a casual "I agree to another day" statement, its your word to guys who are going through the same hell as you that your are going to stick by their side all day and not cave! You keep your work to us Brother! We care about you and want you with us for a long time. I am proud as hell to be quit with you man! You pm me if you need anything!

I know what you mean about the wife deal..... My girlfriend laughed at me when I was having cold sweats and about to pass out. She got on the kill the can and felt terrible about what she said. She even went and got me all kinds of snacks and more! lol

The battle is ours....and we have to fight alone in our heads. We have good guys like Chip and Chewie to help. ...but the battle is our own!

Jason,, jay,, sadly, your wife will never understand fully unless she too had the addiction. It is actually one of the hard parts of quitting. It took a while for me to wrap my head around the fact that quitting is more mental than physical. Part of the mental is dealing with wife, kids, and life in general while quitting something you have grown to love more than all that. Yea,, you loved it more!!

My wife thinks I should be completely healed right now which is so far from the truth. She understands more, but she'll never really understand,, which is ok... I don't want her to ever understand fully. Quit on gentlemen..

Thats what the spouses and significant others dont know how it is to be an addict. I 100% know what JayD is saying. Withdrawals suck embrace the suck remember how you felt....and know that this is how you get to the other side.

Welcome Jason, and welcome to day three. Well it really sounds like you are quit for you.

AT day three, the nic should be out of your system, now it's just the mind games. Glad you are hear and glad you introduced yourself. I can tell you in my quit it helped me a lot to get involved in the site. Reach out to others in your group and become accountable.

I quit with you today

I have had the most amount of realizations here on this site. My thinking has changed I have been provided tools to defend myself... keep this site close to you especially with the weekend on the horizon get numbers post roll give us your promise you will be nicotine free today. READ READ READ

remember its not a habit its an addiction... and like me you will always be an addict...
I quit with you today... stay strong

quit on brother...i'm only on day 10 but i can tell you, you are almost to the point that the nicotine is out of your system (depending on the hour you quit it could be now). That was really the hard part for me. It's tough maintenance for now...diligent actually is a better word. We just lost a quitter today so i hope we have picked up a tougher one to take his weak ass place. If you need anything just pm any of our guys in our quit group. Post roll every day or you will get blasted by the vets...support your fellow quitters and this site will save your life.

And wtf? Your 3rd grade baseball coach probably should have gotten a little jail time for that!!

Listen brother,,, you are right in the suck. It gets so much better. Do you have some phone #s. Mine is now in your inbox. You've been winning for 3 days brother.. You know what that means?

That's 3 days of freedom. 3 days that you haven't spent your hard earned money on something that is killing you, taking your freedom and dignity. 3 Days you haven't been putting some stinky {yes it stinks} dirt like substance that absolutely makes no sense whatsoever in your person. I say we continue taking our life back today,, I quit with you.

Ha I know....back then It was not was not thought of as a bad habbit. I will not ever go back to dip....I have to much to live for. I went to the Dr because I had a sore throat and my ear hurt. As all of us i thought the worse.......the Dr put her hand on me and said it is all the changes going on in my body. She said hang on and get ready for the ass kicking. You quit the worse drug made. She even told me that the only drug worse is herion!

Yeah that is the part that my wife is having a hard time wrapping her brain around i think...the whole it's as addictive or more addictive than heroin or cocaine and that is why it's so hard to quit! She's coming around though, but i don't know if she'll ever fully understand. Anyhow...quit on!

In for the roller coaster of your life - Quitting is personal but joining a bad ass group like this gives you greater odds of kicking the bitch to the curb - Every Damn Day!

Your promise is posted so you have no choice but to stay quit - I will see you tomorrow.
