"My intro if youre interested. I feel like it should embarress me, but it doesn't, it was started by a guy who was dominated by his addiction, today I dominate Nicotine by quitting, with you, and all these Hardcore Bastards."

NeonPanther I read your whole thread and it was an inspirational read.  Your transformation from an addict to a quitter was awesome.  I'm proud to quit with you today.

Thanks man. These guys can be harsh, but they are being harsh because this is very literally life or death. They saved my life. Glad to be Quit with you!

P.S. I'm going to use Hardcore Bastard, if that's cool. I like that 'oh yeah'

Quote: "You bastards are hardcore. --- I was angry at this board for not cutting a newbie some slack.  Going from 3 cans a day to nothing is asking too much.  You guys have no idea what I'm going through.  I went on and on in my mind making excuses."

Glad to see the realization hit man.

"You guys have no idea what I'm going through." ----Nah man, these guys know EXACTLY what you are going through. I though the exact same thing. There are guys here that were raised on tobacco farms and have had nicotine in their systems since age 4!

"I was angry at this board for not cutting a newbie some slack."----That right there, that twisted thinking was the beginning of my decision to quit. "Eff these guys for telling me I can quit and I can do it now, today, this very second! No I can't! I have a plan, I have a schedule I can quit then, but not now! What the hell do they know?!?" Then something tiny clicks, like, "Wait, I came here for help quitting, and they are telling me I can quit. And I can do it right now." Man, what a day of psychotic self-argument. I posted at 2:08pm on December 4th, with a detailed plan of how I was tapering off and quitting Dec 31. After raking myself over the KTC coals I flushed my stash at 12:00am Dec 5th, and stayed up all night reading glorious storys of Quit.

Your Thread title is perfect. "Nicotine Addict" I was trying to quit with gum, I have mainly dipped, but I would smoke, hooka'd, snuff, anything to get that buzz. If I had followed MY plan, I would still be using nicotine today, I have no doubt. My intro if youre interested. I feel like it should embarress me, but it doesn't, it was started by a guy who was dominated by his addiction, today I dominate Nicotine by quitting, with you, and all these Hardcore Bastards. index.php?showtopic=9192st=120

This is a recap of what I've gone through so far so I'll never forget.

Day 1.  Didn't expect to quit.  It was News Year Eve and I posted how I was going to quit the next morning.  Everyone knows how that went over on this site.  Did have beers with the wife for New Years.  She warned me not to because I was on day one.  I told her the craves couldn't get any worse.  I was horribly wrong.

Day 2.  The absolute worst day I've ever had.  I felt like I was buzzing from the withdrawals.  The fog and yearning were never ending.  I actually felt like I had a hole in my soul.  Stayed home all day curled up in the fetal position.

Day 3.  Better than day 2 but not much. Thank god I didn't have to work today either.  The craving was constant or it seemed to be but the fog was a little lighter.

Days 4-9.  The worst of the physical withdrawals have past.  I did have serious craves that seemed like they lasted forever.  I began timing them and they always lasted less then 3 minutes just as advertised.  My weapons of choice in the battle is reading KTC multiple times a day and sucking on peppermints all day long. 

Days 10-13.  Cravings are less often and less severe.  They are pretty predictable (after a meal, first thing in the morning, etc) so I come up with a plan to defeat them each time (staying busy is the key).  I've also become a workout maniac.  I've worked out everyday since I quit.  I also had my first vivid dip dream.  I'm glad because the sadness I felt for betraying myself and everyone else was over whelming.  I never want to feel that for real.

I will not use today and then tomorrow will be two weeks.  I'm proud of myself for what I've done so far.  I also know this battle has just begun and I must remain vigilant.

Dude this is awesome. Less than two weeks in and you're already employing the fundamentals that will keep your quit strong. Keep smacking the NB upside her head every damn day and you're going to plow through two weeks tomorrow. Nicely done!

Copy that. ^^^^^^^^

Great work. Keep it up...with lead pipe cruelty.

It's great to see you doing so well! Keep building your network for accountabilty and support. You're building a toolkit that will help you stay quit for good! Glad to quit with you today again!

Awesome job on coming up with a plan for yourself just keep on quitting ONE DAY AT A TIME and the road will get easier

Excellent work kicking the nic bitch's ass. And not putting that dog shit in your mouth. It is pure dog shit just so you know.

Your fantasy about quitting at midnight is just that...a fantasy. That shit always sounds better in your head than it plays out it real life.

And if you been finger fucking three cans a day, you aren't feeling any "rush" when you load up. The law of diminishing returns set in a looong time ago on your ass. You aint even getting 1/16 of a buzz when you chin dip. Your addicted brain is telling you it's time for poison. Nothing more.

Tonight wont be easy. New Years Eve...it's like a day MADE for dipping. People getting shit faced sucking down lung darts, guys thinking they are hot shit smoking down cigars the size of boat oars, metro sexuals and nickles trying to be dime women "vaping" on e-cigs. Why not be the dude with a lip full of shit spitting into a red solo cup or two fisting it with one bottle of beer and bottle of spit. New Years Ever is a fucking nicotine palooza.

Then...at midnight when the ball drops in Time Square you promise, "TOMORROW, IM DONE!!!". Then tomorrow comes and you find some bullshit reason to go on, and the years start adding up. Who knows if that dip you throw in just before the ball drops is the on that starts the cancer process, and ultimately leads to death.

This is freaking poetry and I'm left trying to figure out how I can up the intensity of my quit. It's like porn I guess. Right now I'm fucking the nicotine bitch every which way I can, but I really should be going strait to anal.

CC, glad to have you on board and don't quit the quit. I quit with you every damn day.

[Dave1903]

One can, half a can, three cans, tucan fucking Sam.  It don't matter.  An addicts and addict.

You're no more addicted than me or any less addicted to Tom, Dick or Harry on Ktc.

You're on the installment plan to death.

We all were.

I'm sure their are thousands on here who have promised to quit as a new years resolution....and have failed.

Looks like you have grown a pair thought and decided to draw a line in the sand.  Well done!!!!

You say you HAVE NOT and WILL NOT use nicotine today.

That's the magic formula around here, Bub.

Fuck yesterday and don't worry about tomorrow.   Focus on today.

You get stuck and shit is getting bat shit crazy, come here.  Get in chat, read a stuff, vent, tell me to go fuck myself...whatever it takes to keep the shit out of your mouth.

You're doing the right thing by doing this NOW.

The best time to quit is today.  The worst time to quit is tomorrow.

You got this.

Quit on...

I had to stand up and walk around after I read this.

Time to fucking quit dude!

That was awesome

The nic bitch will claw at you everyday but as days go on it will get easier to push that bitch away . I highly suggest getting in you group get some numbers also get some veterens numbers because when you are having a bad day and that bitch is clawing at you bad you can call one of us to help pull that bitch off of you and keep you quitting. As the days go on you will hate that bitch more and more ,but remember you have to do it one day at a time

p.s. If you want my number just give me a PM
