this sounds familiar......

first dip was Happy Days....check
graduated to cope.....check
dipped constantly, every waking moment.....check
realized i was a doomass......check

quit at 42......check

wanna know sumpin....i turned 45 this February...celebrating the 3rd dip free birthday since i was 12.....

how you say?

read and learned i was not alone.....everyone on here has a similar story and one thing in common.....we are all addicts.

get involved with September.....ask for help when you need it....give help when asked....post roll every morning...first thing....

realize the act of posting roll is the same as shaking my hand and giving me your word that no temptation/crave will cause you to lose your integrity today.....we are in this together and if I am man enough to quit....so are you.

you have my word today....i've already posted roll

Great decision, monty. Welcome to your freedom.

If you are here, you have to be serious about this quit. No trying, hoping, wanting... Just doing and staying quit at all costs. Stay very active on the site for the first couple of days. Read, read, read. There is a shit ton of wisdom here and any single sentence that you stumble across may very well save your quit that day.

Post roll every MORNING. It is your promise to stay nic free for the day. After that you just have to be a man and keep your word. Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

Get to know your quit brothers and sisters. Exchange numbers... They can talk you through a crave or post roll for you if you are stuck without ktc access.

The more active you are here, the less likely you are to stab us all in the back with a cave. We will mean more to you than the tin, and your quit will be strong like bull.

Good to be quit with you. Welcome to the suck.

"He which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart. But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother." (Wm. Shakespeare). For August '11.

Who dares, wins.

Stay quit... it is life or death and that is the undeniable truth.

I barely made it into the Sept. 2011 quit group. I am 42 and have had snuff of some kind in my system since I was 8 years old. First time I stepped on a baseball field. I have tried to quit before. Made it 6 months once. I really struggle with withdrawls. My head hurts, I sweat bad when I sleep, and my thought process even seems just off. It's crazy. I never thought that the Happy Days I first hid from my parents in the garage would be Copenhagen today and driving me crazy. I really want to make it this time. All bullshit aside.
Welcome Monty. I know how that goes. I sweat through the sheets every night for the first 6 days and woke up curled in a ball on my floor every morning. Looking back, that was pretty f'ed up. I'm also a newbie in the Sept group so I'll quit with you tomorrow. Just post your quit, keep your word that you won't have nicotine that day, and repeat the next day. Don't think beyond today for a while.

Check out the Welcome Center at the top of the page.

See you in Sept tomorrow. You can do this Monty.

The withdrawal will occur exactly the same this time around too. The good news is that you have found the support of hundreds upon hundreds that have gone through the exact same events. We know the way out

You can do this too. One day at a time.


Post roll...keep your word...repeat. Simple concept that is 100% fool proof, pending you are a man of your word.

Welcome. Your story of addiction is very similar to all of ours. The only thing we have in common is our word, and that word is quit. Give it every day to not use and don't break it. The only thing that matters is today.
