to have the opportunity to quit at 21 and to walk away....

I guess he wasn't "ready". I guess he has to spend a few more years wondering if those lumps are cancer.

Probably get married within 5 years... Instead of fully enjoying the day he is going to be looking for excuses to slip away to feed his addiction. A lipper and a tux. Good times.

Honeymoon cruise? Excuse me hon.. I have to go somewhere.....

When the kids come he will only be able to play catch 10 minutes at a time, "excuse me, son, daddys gotta go somewhere".... Trips to go on vacation? He'll be grumpy the whole car ride going through nicotine withdrawal.. probably have to stop at a rest area for a 10 minute "shit" every hour or so... Wife looking at him with disgust....

An entire lifetime stolen away by withdrawal. It's a shame he has chosen this path.... I wish I had all the time that I threw away on this stupid addiction back... but I made my choices. He apparently has made his as well.

Course if he is really unlucky he will have that visit to the doctor... you know the one that gets a phone call home a couple of days later... "Mr Nozzle, please contact us as soon as you get this, we need to set up an appointment..."

Let the good times roll. Pack that lip, it's all good.
That is some cold hard truth telling right there. Every word cuts deep to the bone. I wish he would return and read it. Damn.
No shit! Every word was a jab in this old farts heart. I waited till I started repeating the same bullshit excuses with the grandkids. My decision is renewed every day, I QUIT!!!!

Nozzle and I had texted a few times after Raider pointed him my way. Unfortunately, I've texted him 5 times today and he's read each one without a single reply (being that we both have iPhones and he has read receipts turned on).

It's a damn shame. I thought he would stick around. It certainly wasn't from a lack of effort on the part of the people here.

I KNOW that I can quit, and remain quit. Because I am stronger than the can!
Stronger than the can for 13 days, not 14? Not looking good for this one. Sucks, I had high hopes! Prove me wrong Dylan ... get your ass back in here!
FUCK THAT.

I'm never going back to a day 1.... NEVER. 13 days... so close to freedom except he never chose to be free.




PS... I hope he was out fighting fires and not upping his chance for cancer.
I'm hoping the same 30 ... (I don't even like typing HOPE)!

One thing that I have learned is that none of us are unique or special. We all have the same basic story. I read so many things in your story and can totally relate to it. Glad you are here now.

We post roll here everyday it is the single most important thing we do here. When you post roll you make a promise to yourself and to us that you will not use nicotine for today only. We wake tomorrow good lord willing and repeat.

You should check into the welcome center and read read read do the ground work to keep your quit a priority.

PM me if you need anything.

The best part is the support..I don't know any of you guys..not your real names, your faces... But I feel like I owe this quit to y'all just as much as i do to myself... You all are going to be my backbone when I can't find mine. Thanks guys. All of y'all. I quit with you all today
That part took me awhile too.
Bunch 'o' strange Internet dudes?... Weird. Ghey, even!

But... You won't find anyone else who knows you better than we do. We know what you're gonna feel and think and go through... And that matters. Open yourself up ~ get involved ~ stay involved. Freedom is here and it's yours for the taking.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Keep reading KTC NozzleHead. All the knowledge you need to quit nicotine is here. It will be a rollercoaster of suck and ok for a while, but it gets so much better. The KTC plan works. Learn the plan; then live the plan. PM me if you need anything.
