Quit Day 4/25/2014

[Mupig]

Ok, I think I figured out how to post roll. Still figuring out how all this works, here's my intro. I was a 3rd generation Nic slave, but no more. I started when I was 17, and convinced myself throughout college and law school that I needed it, life was just too stressful to quit...maybe after exams. I realize that I have been a slave for 10 years, that my health has been affected, and that I've spent thousands on something slowly killing me. This is my second attempt, the first I made it 38 days using lozenges. This time I've dropped it altogether, and I alternate from feeling great to just trying to make it through the minute. I stopped smoking after joining the vol. fire department, reasoning that it was stupid to wear the SCBA to keep out the chemicals if I was just choosing to inhale the same thing, and switched exclusively to dip - grizzly green - straight - snuff. I guess now I've finally faced the reality that I just traded one death for another, and I have to quit. I have too much to live for, too many people I love, too much invested not to quit. This past Sunday I talked with a guy who quit after 18 years, and that conversation really helped motivate me to man up and quit. Here's to the quitters, whom I will soon join.

Glad to see you are going cold turkey this time around. We are a no-nicotine of any kind site and we expect nothing less. Each day we make the promise to ourselves and to each other that we will not use nicotine of any kind. Period. Using nicotine replacement therapy is just delaying the inevitable relapse.

With that said, congrats on making an awesome decision. Keep posting and PM me if you want a number. Drink lots of water. Exercise. You can do this.

Fantastic Bombero! One day at a time! Congrats on a great decision

You are not alone. You have a lot of quitters here to help you along. The first few days will really suck, but each day will get better. The important thing is to plow through those first 3-5 days that really suck and then it will get easier after that. You can do this. I dipped for 30 years non-stop. I am now quit for 13 days and have never felt better.

PM me if you need contact information and I will pull you through. Keep posting roll. It will be awkward at first, but will get easier. Do it every day and it will make a difference.

Lets do this!!!!

Bomber - by the time I wake up, I expect to see your name on the August roll!!!!! Come on and get with it. Post roll and make the commitment of no nic today - no cigs, no chew, no patches, no gum! This starts today!!!!

I checked. You posted. I'm in.
I quit with you today! LF

Let's do this!

Today I quit. Really, I quit 12 hours ago... and I am really hating myself right now. I have been looking at KTC for a month now, but I cannot find my quit group - Admin, if you could help me there that would be great. I've wanted to quit for several months, but it is just so hard to go it alone. Anybody out there? Anybody have any idea how I can plug into my quit group?

The following link will take you to your quit group. We are in the same group. Congrats on your decision to quit.
