Quit 3 weeks ago, just found you guys

[Nolaq]

BBQ conversation yesterday: 

Al: So...when the baby is born, are you gonna buy cigars for everyone?

Me: Nope

Al: You can have one cigar in November...cantcha?

Me: Not for me

Al:  Come on...no big deal...

Me: NO, I CAN NEVER have Nicotine in any form ever again.  I am an addict and will always be an addict.  Nicotine for me is like alcohol for an alcoholic or heroin for a junkie.

Moment of clarity...thank you KTC community!

P.S.  the smoked pulled pork was my best work thus far in my life...maybe it's because I can taste again.

Recognizing you're an addict, smoking pork and a don't tread on me flag. This guy has his shit together. Good to be quit with you.

Amen. Dante is my new quit Hero.

'clap'

Some douche left a used, half full spitter on my desk. That was how my day began at 0700...and unfortunately that was the hight point of my day. Today was a tough one...but I kept my word.

So that's where I left it

OK a little levity never hurt, nice job today. When we can quit in the face of the tough days we can quit!

Congrats on your decision. It is a great decision.

If you know who the douche is, I am not joking when I say to pour that out on his desk next time he is away from it.

Don't feel bad about it either.

...have made it this far on my own. 

...I have made umpteen attempts at quitting

...My wife thinks I quit nicotine years ago, I've been hiding it from her.  I only did it outside her company.  I'm ashamed of that.  And now she's the unfortunate lucky recipient of my craziness and rage...and she has no idea why, because I've mislead her for the past few years.

Ditto, ditto, ditto. I was in the EXACT same spot.

First and most importantly: My wife forgave me for the lie and has been MAJOR in my quit. Read what I posted here yesterday: index.php?showtopic=4752.

I was a late addition to Dec 2010 HOF group, but those guys welcomed me as family. They are my quit. I still make them a promise every single day.

Congrats on your decision to quit. Let me know if I can help you any way.

Radman...your linked post was one that I read prior to joining. It really spoke to me and convinced me to join. Glad I stumbled onto it. Thanks for your reply!

[redtrain14]

Welcome and congrats! Post roll and get involved.

Hello all, I'm Dante. I had my last dip on May 9, 2011 and have made it this far on my own. I have made umpteen attempts at quitting, however this is my last. I QUIT! Really...I mean it. This time is different because I'm tired of being a slave to that crutch and tired of lying to people.

I started off as a smoker 17 years ago and quit smoking 5 years ago, since I need to maintain a high physical fitness standard for my job (my run time was suffering due to diminished lung capacity). I was successful at quitting because I substituted one disgusting habit for another...from Marlboro Ultra Light Menthols to Skoal Long Cut Apple Blend. One can every two days.

My wife thinks I quit nicotine years ago, I've been hiding it from her. I only did it outside her company. I'm ashamed of that. And now she's the unfortunate lucky recipient of my craziness and rage...and she has no idea why, because I've mislead her for the past few years. Does that make me a lousy person? I hope not. We are expecting our first child in November, and I want to be around for a long time.

I'm glad I found this site...I've been lurking for the past few days. I have found many of your posts to be helpful so far...so thank you to those who post and share.

Welcome. Congrats on taking the first steps on your own. Now post roll and keep your word...

and don't take anything out on your wife, she didn't do this to you, you have no one to blame but yourself. Take your rage out in chat, or slam your testicles in a desk drawer repeatedly, but do not yell/cuss/bitch at her!
