Monday morning and STILL on top of the world !!!


Quitwise anyhow. :P

Morning Quitters !!

Morning Brothers and sisters of the quit! I kicked the bitches ass yesterday even though she nagged me from the time I got up till the time I went to bed (6.am till 12:30 a.m.) and toay I am day 14 of the quit!. it was f*cking great - I can say that now today!! Without this board and support, to help hold me accountable.. i don't know if I could have done that.

Last night I called my daughter (who lives way over on the left coast now) and told her about my quit. You shoulda heard the excitement in her voice! Damn near brought tears to my eyes.. I think that was the first time I had ever heard her say --and repeat -- Dad , I am so proud of you! She has never known me without a fattie. with her being in the medical field in the Air force Nat'l guard - she said she was going to check this site out and maybe be able to help turn other soldiers and airment to it if the time comes. one just never knows how this site is going to reach folks!

Called my folks yesterday afternoon and asked them if they read my card about my quit (at the time I was day 8.) Mom said yes - and I said I was surprised that they didn't call me -- as they have ben nagging on me for 33 years to quit (literally from day 364 - I didn't sneak much except the first year!) she said - well I guess I forgot because I was telling your sister and your brother and my friends about your quit! then both Mom and Dad went on to relate triggers they had when they smoked (they both quit in the late 60s early 70s). Dad was the one who praised the most. Guess we always like praise from our folks!

so my brothers and sisters..despite yesterday being a nagging nic bitch day -- it was probably one of the best days of my life ..being able to share with my family about my quit. It makes me just that much more accountable for my future actions.

Thank you all for being here for us!

I gotta question and it is probably real dumb..but are there any quitters out here that are still smoking? Is that against the rules? ain't the nic bitch the same either way?

No I don't smoke -- hardly never have - maybe 4 or 5 cigs in my life time including my experimental years (mid 60's!), maybe a dozen cigars (babies ya know) and a pipe for about a half year.

The reason for asking is I have a buddy I would like to turn him onto this site but he is a smoker and a chewer and has failed miserably at quitten both on his own.. He seems to knock one down but increases the other and finally gives up..he is 62 and been doing both most all his life. Still healthy so far (well as best as can be expected due to the abuses he put on himself - he is a friend of Bill W's also for the past 18 or so years). I sure would like to see him stay around for awhile .. I know the choice is ultimately his.

anyway, if any of you in the support can give me some direction to my questions, I sure would appreciate it.

if there are people posting roll here, then they SHOULD be nic free... that includes dip, chew, snuff, cigs, cigars, etc. you're right... nic is nic.

while the site is killtheCAN there are some people here that have never dipped... they were smokers only. while some of what we say wouldn't be relevant to them, we've seen over the years that the concepts that work for dippers will also work for smokers.

that said we'd love to have him! we'll hold him to the same standards that we hold all roll callers to -- no nic today!
