Quitting now...

[aartod]

Well at this point, all I have to say is thank God for smokey mountain wintergreen. Sure helps! Also working hard keeps my mind occupied- splitting firewood for a few hours this evening helped keep my mind at ease...

Awesome- I just checked it, yup, I'm there! I swear it wasent earlier, but I'm not exactly a computer expert either.... Starting to really feel it today, damn head is so loopy- hard to concentrate on anything. Not really a good thing at work!

It sucks dude. There isn't a way to sugar coat it. It just really sucks.

but....It will get better. A lot better. I promise.

Use your tools. Get phone numbers and use them. Live up to your promise.

Don't forget what you are going through right now. Use your intro thread to document it for yourself. You will want to remember how terrible you feel.

Quit with you

I had about two shitty weeks at work, where I felt so bad and felt as though I didn't accomplish a damned thing except staying quit. Then I realized I was staying quit.

This too will pass, I promise you.

In all seriousness I was a fuck up at work for the last month (quit 1/6/14), I think part of it was the holiday let down and winter doldrums, but a big part was being in the fog, then crave fighting and just totally focused on staying quit. I am just starting to be able to focus again this week (yea what am I doing on here at 4:00 PM if I am so focused at work)....I am getting better and you will too! Quit on, it is worth whatever it takes!

AARTOD, you're already on there 2/3 of the way down. After you post and hit Add Reply, go to the 'first' page of thread

[pbrain04]

So, if I was bumped off the list should I do the roll call deal again?

yes...as you and your quit group get a little more experience you will learn how to spot bumps and fix them. After you post roll go back and check the post underneath you. If someone from that post is missing from your post you should "bump fix" by moving them up. It happens.

Here's a quick question- not sure if it's the right place to ask it. When I do the roll call deal I can see my name along with others that have pledged not to have any nicotine... Then after a hour or two my name is no longer on the list on more recent postings (and some other names are missing but a lot of them remain)??? Also, how to I get my name on the accountability spreadsheet?

when you post and your name disappears it means you were "bumped". Someone posted roll at the same time you did and their "reply" is posted above yours without your name on it.

The accountability sheet will be managed by a volunteer quitter(s) in your group. They will put you on it and keep track of your post record...which should be 100% if you are serious about quitting.

Those are good reasons, unquestionable. And as important as all those things are in your life (kids, wife, cancer history, finances, etc.), make sure that the most important thing about your reason for quitting is about you. Do this for you first and foremost and all of the other things will fall in line. When it comes to the quit itself, it's all about you. Everybody and everything that surrounds that quit will reap its benefits. I'm with you brother. Let's do this.

[aartod]

Thanks, I will definitely keep that in mind!

I also paused back in the early 80's for about 3 years and then had that one dip that turned into another 30 years of procrastinating. Never Again For Any Reason (NAFAR) will I let myself make that one dip mistake! Why? Because I will make that daily promise like I have for the past 675 days. Pm me if you need anything.

[aartod]

Reasons? Okay first of all cancer runs in my family- (aside from my wife and kids) I literally have 3 family members left. Second, my wife and 4 kids, three are boys that don't need to be future dippers too! Third, my gums are getting real bad, chew is expensive, and horrible for me. I think I stand a better chance of staying quit because I already learned the hard way that "just one dip" is too much! I think those are some damn good reasons.

You can nickname me A A Ron if you want, my real name is Aaron... Yup feeling those effects of quitting now... Bring it on, I'm ready!

Well A A Ron, let's get it man, Let's quit. Let me hear you roar. Tell me and all the other fuckers here why you quit. I will forever be by your side.
