Today is my Dad's birthday but he is not here to celebrate. You see, he loved nicotine more than life, family, health, vacations, success and himself. Even after having 3 heart surgeries and countless heart attacks he still chose to put the poison in his body. No matter who talked to him about it, he still thought he was the special butterfly and that there is nothing wrong with nicotine. So, he suffered dearly the last 5 years of his nicotine filled life. Lots of pain and screaming that was directly attributed to his lifelong addiction. There is nothing good or glamorous about nicotine. I choose today to be quit. I will not dip today. I quit with Sept '12 every a.m. because in the daylight I know better.  Cheers brothers and protect your quit at all costs.
Dad, you coulda quit ya know? I miss you.

I have a feeling that post will end up in the words of wisdom section of this site...great post and sorry for your loss.

Thanks for sharing a part of your life... Its thoughts like these that I get up everyday and post roll I give my promise to myself and the people who hold me accountable that I will not use.
Sorry for your loss

Which of the following poisons is the most deadly?

1. Arsenic

2. Strychnine

3. Nicotine

If you guessed # 3, you are correct. The lethal dosage for a 150 pound adult is 60 mg.
The lethal dosage for # 2 is 75 mg and the lethal dosage for # 1 is 200 mg. In other words, nicotine is three times as toxic as arsenic and one and one half times as toxic as strychnine.

Is caving still an option? 'Crazy'

Very powerful message. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you sir for your service to the new guys on this site who if they're like me are sure they want to quit but might think they're fine in just a few days and don't need anything to stay clean. It's more than generous for you to continue to share; just wanted to let you know it is appreciated.

I quit this a.m just like the other days, ODAAT...1 year is a great milestone.
I can remember when I thought "if I could win the lotto and check in somewhere for a month, then I could quit dipping." 'Crazy'
Well, I won the lotto when I found this site and the badass quitters who make this site real.
Thank YOU All for making my quit real!!

Well done friend. Quite a milestone. Thanks for being there during my quit. Especially the early days. Keep it up, this shit is life or death.

Bravo Sir. Bravo!!!

Nice analogy, 30. Most lottery winners throw it all away pretty quickly. We're winning a new life in much the same way, but money never actually saved somebody's life unless money kept them from suicide. We decided to stop killing ourselves without the jackpot. Suicide is exactly what we would be committing if we threw our quits away.

Congrats on a year, bro!! Congrats on your jackpot!!

[Erussell]

A year, wow, I can't wait. Tks bro for sharing and showing us its possible!
