Don't worry about screwing up Roll Call. I think I fucked it up 3 or 4 days straight...maybe more? But, you're NIC FREE. And that is all that matters.

Here's another thought...don't "hope" you can quit. Just quit.

Also, turn the anxiety to exhileration. Shit, just hearing up your quit fires me up. You're living free, brother. YOU GOT THIS!!!

Now quit fucking up our Roll Call. :P

Drink the kool-aide and follow the KTC path! It works. No doubt quitting nicotine is super hard, but the more you quit the better it gets. Listen to the advice already given and read everything here. PM me if you need anything.

Thanks for the quick response -- incredibly reassuring to know there's a no-BS community out there that can relate to the state of mind I'm in right now. And can appreciate the extraordinary fear of falling back to old devices, justifications, etc. My mind is probably operating at 10% capacity (which isn't saying much), but I think I successfully joined  posted roll to the May 2014 group. If not, feel free to e-slap me and/or tell me what I missed. Thanks brothers.
Welcome Krusty,

I'll repeat what others have said, check out the welcome center and read, read, read all you can here. You will find a story somewhere that you could swear was you.

Post roll every day, I fixed your post today. Don't worry you'll get the hang of it the first few days will suck as the thick fog of your physical withdrawal from nicotine. Drink plenty of water and find some sunflower seeds, candy, gum, whatever floats your boat. Just remember, No Nicotine in any form.

Check your inbox for number, text or call before you decide to put the poison in your mouth or just for support. Make contacts early, they will save your quit down the road.

Stand up and breath in the air. Go outside and take deep breaths. You are alive and you are free. You will crawl through a river of shit for the next 3-4 days, but you can do it. You are a free man.

You will not be ruled by a little can of dog shit. Make the choice, make your promise for today, honor your word, and be FREE!!!

Drink water, exercise, chomp on seeds, gum, whatever. Take some naps. You can do it. Tell your wife what is going on.

Read all the intros, HOF speeches, and for goodness' sake post roll with your group, May 2014.
Well krusty you can do it and it will most likely suck worse than most anything you've done before. We like remembering the suck it's another motivation. Once your name is on the May 14 roll call let the shit begin because if your a man of your word you won't break the promise.

Read everything on this website. Learn about your addiction and why you feel like this. Learn about how bad nicotine truly is for you. Learn how to post roll and make some friends.

58 days ago I felt exactly like your post. Now I am free. So are you. Welcome. You are in the right place.

PB

Read this: index.php?showforum=13

It explains the hows, whys and such of roll call. Our mission? To quit today.

Read and then....I want your name on that roll call. Promise me you will quit today? We will work together on today. We will worry about tomorrow when the time comes.

Mind is racing, tough to concentrate, and nervous just thinking about not dipping when the usual urges / times of day arrive today. Got an acupuncture treatment last evening and have another one this afternoon -- hoping (praying?) that some sort of physical act in the first few days will convince myself that this is for real and not yet another half-baked attempt that will fall flat on its face when the first significant urge / opportunity / excuse / justification arrives. Just stumbled upon this site and want / expect it to be a crutch. If any HOFers or veterans are out there that can direct me to Roll Call and any other highly recommended posts / diversions, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks all.
