I agree with both of you. I've tried quitting before. My wife has never liked it. But I never truly wanted to quit. I was just doing it for her. Now it's my time. I want this. And that's why I'm quit 3 days now and I feel awesome. Thank you all. This group is incredible!

Derk is correct. If YOU want it. Then and only then can you really quit. So, if you're ready to stay quit, to throw down the gauntlets on the nic bitch and go all out fisticuffs, then get to roll posting. Scour this site for info and read the others stories, all of us share the same goal, and many of the same fears. We are all with you, and know that if i can make it to 21 days, so can you, and if Mogul can make it to 40 days, so can I. Nobody here has the willpower to just quit and be happy, the addiction lasts forever. But together, we are much stronger than the nicotine whore we've subjected ourselves to. Remember that all this is about you. So, when you get the nic rage and you're seeing red. call one of us and take it out on us, or on here. Leave your wife/coworkers etc... out of it. All of this is because of you. Don't take any of it out on them. It is a rough ride, but that's why we are here, for one another. Stay quit. I quit with you.

Quote from: longhorn1506
The reason I made my decision... a few things brought me here. #1- this crap scared my wife on a daily basis. Cancer ran in her family. She's seen it before. I love her too much to put her through it. #2- Just found out the good Lord is blessing us with our first child! Woohoo! I wanna be here for my family. #3 This one put me over the top. I'm a volunteer fireman. Been with my dept 7 years now. A good friend on the dept... found out a year an a half ago that he had melanoma. This guy would do anything for anyone. Anything. Never did any wrong... didn't smoke... didn't drink... Just worked his ass off and cared for others. Found out on the 7th that they give him two weeks. He's been battling for his life and now's he's losing. And here I am dipping a can a day like I'm invincible... I'm ashamed of myself. That's why I'm done. Done for good. Quit for life!
Glad you are here. I was in your shoes... Holy smokes. Wife hated it... Kids inbound. Still dipped for 15 more years. I also thought it would be a good idea to quit 20yrs ago when I found some weird lump on my tongue. Turned out to be no big deal... Still continued to dip following the positive news.

#1. Needs to be you are done for YOU. You can't quit for anyone but you. I say this not to push you away but to tell you straight. This is the only way. The nic addiction is powerful and you need to squash is daily! YOU better want it more than anything today, brother.

You can do this... You got to want to quit for you or this won't work. All the other reasons are nice but they don't stand up to the fight! You are fighting for your life.

You got to want it. If you do. Go get it. Post roll. Stay quit.

Glad you have quit. Great decision. Read all the wisdom in this site and make your daily promise. Quitting will become as natural as it was to use. Quitting will fill the void, the void that the tobacco created in the first place. I quit with you today. One day at a time.

Welcome to the Nut House Longhorn. Nice job of posting your Day 2 today. At the beginning, read all you can in the Welcome Center. Read the intros and the HOF speeches. Post up a welcome for all the new guys that just posted up their intro and send them your telephone number by pm. That is the first step to accountability and laying the foundations of brotherhood. Now, look up at your Inbox(1) and you will see a message from me. It is my telephone number. Call me 24/7 when you feel the need to vent, rage or just need to shoot the shit. Welcome and congrats on taking back your life. Wayne

PS--I hope you don't hold it against me that my Baylor Bears beat the shit out of your Longhorns Saturday afternoon!

Welcome Longhorn, Can you tell me how you made up your mind? What pissed you off enough to cuss out that can? I want you to live in that pissed off world, jot it down, read it 9 times a day, copy it 20 times and stick the copies everywhere that triggers your dip, Believe in yourself and with the support here you can do this. Tomorrow is 40 days for me and I can't believe it, but I love the quit -- hate the nic.

I'm now two days in... and it's tough. I've been a can a day of cope snuff for the past 12 years. My mind is made up this time. I'm tired of that little silver top can running my life. I'm taking over now nic. Thank you all in advance... today has been a big struggle and I've gotten through by reading your posts. Two days quit! Hell yeah! 'fireman'
