Those are the reasons I am quitting. I don't have a wife, no kids. Don't even have a girlfriend. If quitting for my friends and family is a bullshit excuse, than obviously nothing is going to be good enough. I understand being pissed at me caving and wanting to come back. But if my reasons for quitting aren't good enough for yall or you think I am full of crap, than I will leave and quit on my own. Giving me crap is understandable, but obviously no one here believes anything I have to say so what is the point of me even being here? I will come back in 100 days and prove everyone single person here wrong. Maybe then I will be good enough to be apart of this group...
Drew-

I think everyone wants to know how/where your quit is rooted. You have to understand that we see a lot of people come through here  the "vets" have a pretty good idea of the red flags to look for. I'm by no means a "vet", but quitting for family/friends normally doesn't work. YOU are important, so quit for YOU. It starts w/ a decision to quit because YOU want to quit. As a result, your family/friends will be grateful.

It may seem to be a small difference, but the difference is HUGE.

If you need a contact, shoot me a PM. I'll quit w/ you.

I agree with Evil that the entire "intro" is garbage. I want to quit for my family and friends, I want to quit because I'm tired of wasting money, blah blah blah! To me it doesn't seem as if you are prepared to attempt another quit. WTF does moving to a different city have to do with anything? Is it a nicotine free city? Is it a trigger free city? It ultimately comes down to only one thing, your resolve and integrity to quit with us on a daily basis.

That answer sucks

Hmmmm. I am getting mixed vibes here... Half "poor me" and half "poor me". Am I wrong?

You had a HOF Speech (which I moved to the trash), but no introduction until this brief "woe is me". Aside from the money and condition of your mouth do you really want to quit? Maybe stop for a month or so until you'll mouth stops hurting then imagine the rush of that first dip. Heaven?

No? You want to quit and not stop? Well, what is your plan? Stop staring at your shoes and kicking rocks. Look up, hold your head high, and fucking quit once. Now. You need a plan and the plan starts with figuring out what went wrong last time.

1) What happened?
2) How did it happen?
3) What are you going to do different this time?

Don't just give some cookie-cutter bullshit answers either. Stop and think. Search deep down into your very being and figure this shit out. The answers are you you so that you don't repeat them, but also for those in your new group, July 2014. Maybe you can save one of them with your past failure.
^^^^This

I feel woe is me as well. That fact that you live somewhere else doesn't mean shit. Its just another excuse when you fail will it be their fault. Moving Does Not Solve Your Problems!

Do you want to quit for you or your family and friends? If you want to quit for yourself get active on this site and with your new quit group, and follow the path. If you are quitting for anyone other than yourself, then good luck...

I distanced myself from the group and other people in my life who were cheering me on in my quit. I knew they wouldn't approve, but did it anyway.

Not only did I come back here, knowing the ass chewing I would get, but I also live in a different city than before, closer to some family and friends that would rather beat me than see me go back to that stuff. I need to rely on those around me to help.

I don't think you should put your HOF in your signature until you make it there.

1. How did you fail last time?
2. What are you going to do differently this time?

I know that I am going to get lectured and catch shit from everyone, but i need help quitting. It is too hard on my own. I was here, back in 2009. I did really well, even hit my HOF. But that didn't last. I caved, for 4 years. I disappointed my friends and family. I let down everyone on this site who offered help, and for that I am sorry. I am back though and this is my last attempt at quitting. I refuse to be anything but successful this go around. I hate wasting money and am not happy with the condition my health and mouth is in and I am changing it. Today is my day 3. Now, go ahead and let me have it. I know it is coming....
