it is time for war

[CavMan83]

Let me give you the update...and it's ALL bad. You caved AND you're trying to justify it by saying it humbles you? What the fuck is that? Seriously...what, the, fuck, is that? I'll tell you what that is, it's lame and it's weak. That is the same exact result you've had every other time you "tried" quitting.

You want me or anyone here to quit with you? Then F'ing do it. You register on May 14th, but have 5 damn posts to show for it. Nice roll posting % you got going. If you can show me that you can quit for 30 days, post roll 100% of the time, and average 4 posts/day to prove your involvement; then maybe...just maybe you'll earn a sliver of respect back from me. Until then, you're just a poser and a troll. Figure it out and stop wasting our time.

If you want to see what a real quitter looks like, reference my boy Rawls above; he's a freakin' jedi of quit.

Listen up Adam....these guys are trying to set you on the path that leads to freedom from nicotine. Either do, or do not....but don't come in here with the lame attitude. You CAN do this. You just have to make up your mind that you're going to. And I second Steakbomb's advice....read, very carefully, what Rawls had to say above.

update:

some good, some bad.

bad:
would stop for 2 days then i was getting headaches and blurry vision and couldn't work (sql dba). then would get a dip and headache would stop but dang, just starting over. got about 3 days in and what did i do? i drank a couple of beers and so goes my resolve. caved. i lost a couple of battles but will not loose the war. the problem is that i lost those battles, imho, by not arming myself with knowledge and acknowledging that i am a nicotine addict.

good:
i don't want to proclaim this or that; boasting about what tomorrow brings has humbled me every time. i will be posting roll tomorrow. thank you all for the responses and thank you to anyone who has anything to do with site.

thanks!

Bro This is jacked up!

Your roll post was: barefootAdam - the body is a temple. keep it holy.
Then you post this update?

How long you been running barefoot? Maybe its time to just walk with some shoes on.

If you really want to quit.
Tell me these Four things.

Why are you quitting?
Why did you fail?
What could you do different?
What are you going to do now to be quit?

You will owe answers to your quit group, but this is a great place to start the process of getting your thoughts together.

We don't try here...... We do.
We make a promise and stand on the integrity of our word.
Right now your integrity rating is in the......... who is going to battle/war with you, when at the first sight of pain you turn tail and run????

When it gets hard... we reach out for help and work through the suck of being tired and having headaches.
We build teams of accountability so we will not be defeated by the enemy.
We stand strong Every Damn Day, One Day At A TIME, shoulder to shoulder.

You are an addict. You will not quit on your own. You need support.

Don't mock this sight.....
We are Quit
You play by the rules here or go find somebody to sweet talk you elsewhere. (Bla Bla Bla)

Answer the questions. 'Popcorn'

Seriously? You run barefoot through the woods, but can't go without nicotine for 48 hours?

Post roll early. Post roll period.

Are you there? Are you quit? We shouldn't have to ask. We should be able to see your promise in roll! C'mon man. Your resolve needs to be as hard as the bottom of your feet.

i am registered as barefootAdam. i chose that b/c i love to run completely barefooted, road and trails, not b/c i am a hippy, but b/c it hardens me. anyway, my name is adam and i am ready to kick this crap to the curb. 36 years old and dipping for 2 years but am up to a can a day. quit cold turkey back in january and was quit for about 6 weeks but let my guard down one day and it was like i had never quit. i had actually quit a few times before that for about 4 days each. i am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. looked all around for help and called a quitline and it was all "use the patch b/c of blah blah blah" so i bought patches. i just feel like using a patch is like taking a band-aid off slowly. i'd rather just rip the band-aid off, feel the pain from it to know i am alive, and come out the other side.

i know what's about to happen with the withdrawal symptoms, and having gone through it a few times, am ready to go through it one last time and never have to go through them again.

i just have to keep my guard up afterwards and that's where i will need the most help.

i posted my quit date as 5/15/2015 b/c i have had a patch on this morning so i have had nicotine today and well, 5/15/15 is really easy to remember.

thanks.

Well welcome barefootadam. Now get the fucking patch off and post roll.

Ummm... I think he was actually making fun of the patch method here. Go get' em, Barefoot! This thread may interest you as well:

Day 1 is the day you decide to rip that patch off and take back your life. The reason for this is because it is a promise. Assuming your a stubborn SOB when it comes to being a man of your word, if you wake up and make your promise, your quit all day and you can take that shit to the bank. Welcome foot.

[JKEdwards]

First off. Welcome to KTC. This place was built by quitters, for quitters. Every single person here has been were you are at. Your quit day is today. I recommend going to the August quit group and posting roll with them. They will be your rock during the suck you are about to endure.

Some tips early on that helped me:
1. Drink lots of water.
2. Read everything you can on the site and in the forums.
3. Drink lots of water.
4. Exchange digits with some quitters, chat with people, get to know the people in your group, and start building that accountability.
5. Drink lots of water.
6. Get some seeds, gum, fake, mints, or whatever you need to keep that oral fixation at bay.
7. Drink lots of water.

You have made a great choice in quitting. The strategy here is one day at a time. You can keep your word for one day right?
