  • Interests: I was addicted to nicotine for about 19 years before I actually realized that I was an addict to a drug. Allen Carr helped open my eyes with LionHeartedGirl (my sister). I am currently on day 2 and because of the frame of mind and different point of view that "The Easy Way" has given me, I don't doubt for one moment that I have ingested the last bit of that weed for the rest of my life. I am 35 now and am setting a goal of living long enough to have saved $100,000 because of my quit. At the same time, I am setting the goal of not smoking TODAY! One step at a time, while keeping my eyes on the horizon.

So damn proud of you!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Without you sis, I would not only not be on this site, I would probably still be smoking. More than anyone, I give you credit for saving my life.

Thank You LHG

The Wife is proud of me too. She bought me 2 packs of the limited edition peppermint Oreos to celebrate. She loves me enough to let me finish them before asking me to loose the weight. Now that's love.

dabean22 – This married ex-smoker from North Philly started smoking at the age of 16 which is just one year younger than his step-son.  He plans on bring some home brewed beer on the train and asks that in case of an emergency on the train that require authorities to be contacted that we give him a head start.  That make sense now because this quitter may or may not have had something to do with an accidental fire in a warehouse (I know nothing).
This kitchen designer has enjoyed posting roll EVERY DAMN DAY and indicates that “it just works”.  He plans on signing up for 200 and plans to watch his fellow quitters quit strong.  He obviously idolizes and loves his sister “LionHeartedGirl” who quit at a stressful time, and stayed QUIT.  She is a tough cookie.  The list is nearly endless how many people have helped me.  I'm just going to touch on the highlights that come to mind this night.  I'll miss a few I'm sure: CBird65 spent a couple hours on the phone with me in the beginning that got me headed in the right direction, PaddyMac02 has been one of my oldest friends here and with bjarrett74 has helped me maintain the page and spreadsheet, Pinched got me off my ass by screwing with our group name, Gorilla1 quit on the same day as me and for 84 days we were 100% posters together.  Sorry I couldn't be there for you when you needed a reminder, DippinDave911 oh what to say about Dave…anyone that looks at our past would be surprised to see us supporting each other now but we got thru it.  We found the common enemy, both bent our ways a bit and got our quit on together, bjarrett74, no matter what happens from here on out you and your dedication to this place are humbling your quit dwarfs mine you fucking rock.  Get back here soon!
Man, it feels good. Thank you. I feel like I started out driving on the worst potholed dirt road imagineable. More like driving thru the forest. It was slow going. I bottomed out a couple times. I had to ask friends to winch me out of a ditch or two. Over the last few months the road has been getting smoother and straighter. Today feels like that magical time where dirt meets blacktop. I know I still have to look out for deer but my ass no longer has to feel the potholes every 2 feet.
It feels so great to reach day 100 with all of the brothers I've bonded with here.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Dreams suck. Last night I had a dream, no a nightmare. I was driving down the road with the window down like I always do and without warning I exhaled smoke. I looked into my left hand and the cigarette was there. Obviously I had been smoking without realizing it. Even in my dream I screamed "NOOOOO". I thought of all of you guys and how I was going to have to explain how it happened and I was so upset because I couldn't remember how it did. I thought about how some individuals here would react to the news. It was heartbreaking. It took me a few minutes after waking up to assure myself that it didn't actually happen. Lord KNOWS I will not smoke today after a dream like that.
I'm now on day 97 and dreams still suck.
I've had that same dream!

I got married to So CAL girl and remained here after I got out of the Navy. I love the outdoors; camping, hiking, hunting and fishing but mostly I love to do wood working. I guess now that I am not wasting money on crap I can have more to do the things I like to do.

There are a few people that have noticed that I'm not as active on this site as I used to be. I want to take a moment to re-assure anyone that is worried about me that I am doing very well. My quit is as strong as ever or stronger. I am still getting the occasional crave but at this point, I see them as more helpful than hurtful. They remind me that I am an addict. I need to keep taking the nicotine beast seriously. I will not let my guard down.
I have recently noticed how much time I spent on the website. It was pointed out to me by my wife that I actually spent more time on the site than I spent talking to her during the day. This bothered me. I would spend most of my lunch hour on my phone and at least an hour a day on the laptop before or after work. For me, this site was becoming a bit of an obsession. I am still here. I still post daily (100% poster) and I still read the others posts and text the people I am close to from time to time to check in on them. I simply decided that I will not spend quite as much time on the site as I normally did. This will probably increase or decrease as my free time changes but for now, I'm going to leave the daily grind of the page up to my brothers in November 13. Thanks for showing concern people. I really appreciate it.
NAFAR - and I truly mean that

glad to hear it man. im glad so many people care about you enough to notice. keep up the quittin. im here with ya.
