I have made it past the frst day. I am now starting day two. Wow.
Wow indeed. Nice Job! Remember these first days, and know that you never have to go through them again.

Glad you are here,

I am a little extra stressed today. I have quit before and now realize that I need you guys in order to be successful in my quit. I need more phone numbers to be able to call people and talk. Thank you, Brett
Are you posting roll in November 2012 quit group, Brett?

If so, you should make this post in your group too and hopefully a fellow compatriot will step up and give you some digits to sext. Also, you should come here and read and post anytime you are having a crave or getting the "thinks" (am i really quitting?; i now know i can quit, so why not just start again until after this upcoming stressful event and then i'll quit for good?; etc). The "thinks" are just addict rationalization, by the way. It's bullshit to justify you continuing to use the drug you're addicted to.

Focus on getting through the day and falling asleep. Then get up and post roll before your mind even has a chance to get the "thinks." Do it again.

It won't be too long before you are feeling better than you've ever felt and you will be shaking your head at the poor fuggers you see still being dominated by nicotine. Trust me. It gets so much better and is worth everything you're going through right this minute.

Had my first beer today.  Nice to know that after 21 days, I can get some of my life back. Thanks to all of you who have made my fear of failure work wonders. Dip is now anthema to me.  You guys (and gals?) rock. You've made the fight not only bearable, but very winnable.  Thanks again and I look forward to the next 79 days with a smile and a nice middle finger to the nic bitch.
Dont just count the 79 days, you've got a lifetime of quit ahead of you. Keep up the good work! Glad to be QUIT with you!
Personally, I'd just worry about tomorrow.

Don't let anathema recrudesce to sycophancy...

Something I posted today on Facebook. I already linked to KTC, but for what it is worth, here is the copy. Use it if it helps anyone:

I've (tried to not) read a lot of the political vitriol on these pages this week:

Go Chi-fil-a!! How dare you Chik-fil-a?

To be honest, I've never had a Chik-fil-a. I hear there's one location in Minneapolis by the U, but parking is a pain there, and I really don't feel like wasting my time just to get a sandwich. I hear the food is pretty good, for fast food.

I am outraged, however. I am outraged that we spend our time either buying or not buying a stupid chicken sandwich "for a cause" when United States Tobacco spends every minute of every day churning out product that has two goals: to get you addicted and to kill you. Where is the outrage against that?

United States Tobacco doesn't care whether you are straight, married, Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, Transgendered, single, or even under 18. They want you to buy their product, get hooked, and die a slow death...all to boost their products.

And now they marketing Snus, a product with all sorts of fun "candy" flavors: strawberry, peach, mint. Sounds fun doesn't it? Sounds like something a kid would want to try, because, it tastes like candy, right? You think they're planning for the next generation of profits?

You want something to be angry about, this is what I'm fighting against. Visit http://www.killthecan.org/ for details, resources on how to quit, and stories about what this crap can do to you. Then I want to see you get angry.

My name is Mike, and I claim my 580th day of freedom today.
Nice work, Mike.
Very well written.

Nicely done!!
Take a bow Mr. Frazzled. Very well done, indeed!
way to get the word out there!!!!! Who should give a crap about Chic-fillet's political correctness!!!
That gave me quit wood :wood
Very nice!!
It is sickening indeed to see the depths they will go to start an addiction as early as they can.

On the other hand, it is inspiring to watch people put a death lock on their demons.

Goo stuff Frazz. Goo stuff.

Thanks for keeping it real bro.

Proud to be clean with you today.
