You're in February 2010 ( I think). One of the moderators sent me an email with posting instructions. Click on "quit groups" and then click on Feb 2010. The click on "quote" and copy everything in that box and paste it in the other box. Add your name to the top group (the quitters are above the supporters). Then keep your word all day. The repeat.

My instructions may not be the best. One of the moderators will email you better ones. Look forward to your joint us.
Close. You will be a Feb 2011 HOF'er. I happen to be very fond of February groups and will be spending quite a bit of time in there.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Fpup,

Congrats on kicking booze...I've heard nic is harder, but I wouldn't know. I'm only 41 days quit, but I think you should stay on this site. I'm no expert, but I think you should read all you can. I quit and caved many times before. The only thing that has been different this time is this site and posting roll call everyday. I'm six weeks quit and I owe it all to KTC. Stay in touch and JOIN us!!!

I know your probably right Bean, because I haven't had a drink in almost 23 years.

Quitting nic has proven to be a lot tougher that quitting booze.

I guess I should stay off this site until I've actually started my nic quit on 11/30/10
You do not have to stay off the site. You are more than welcome to post here, talk to whoever you want, read. You just cannot post in your quit group until you are NIC free.

Spend time here and READ. There is much to learn about our little poison of choice. I will look forward to seeing you post day 1 in Feb.

Until then post away in here.

I don't think you're a wimp, you're an addict. Addicts can make excuses and rationalize anything. I convinced myself that I was a "light dipper" because a can would last me 3 days. WTF?!! Anyway, my point is that once nic has its grip on you, you can't even trust yourself. Setting a quit date in the future is dangerous because it gives nic more time to think of other excuses to delay your quit. Also, setting the date let's you dip guilt-free...because you're quitting in a few days, right?

I've done all of that crap. I don't know if it was "lying to mysel" or not because I always honestly intended to quit, something (anything, really) would just come up. I don't want that to happen to you.

There is no better time to quit than right f'ing now!!! Throw that shit away, embrace the suck, and go toe to toe with the nic bitch. We are all here to support you...but you gotta quit first. You make the first move and commit to your quit, and we'll be behind you every step of the way. You've made a great decision. Now execute it!!!

Thanks for the feedback Greg5280 :)

Based on your reply, I'm planning to see an ENT this week and I've moved my quit date up to 10/30/10, so that my 72 hour quit will fall on 11/1/10.

I've tried to quit before and my oral fixation with dip is so strong that I'll probably use the Smokey Mountain for at least a week until I go cold turkey.

Call me a wimp if you'd like, but this plan makes the most sense to me right now

I'm been dipping for over 30 years and I'm attempting to wean myself off of Timberwolf using Smokey Mountain. Since I started using it last week, I developed a really bad sore throat. Is that normal? I set my quote date for 11/1/10 (in a week) because that's my 23rd Anniversary in AA as well
Yes a sore throat is normal. Mine hurt for awhile. As with anything else give it a week or two to go away and if it does not then go see a doc and have it checked.

I would encourage you to go ahead and quit today. Dump your cans and go cold turkey. It will not be any easier if you wait. By your anniversary date your body could be free of Nicotine !!!

Life throws you some shit sometimes.  Are you ever ready for it?  Things are going along fine and then, boom.  Car breaks down.  Boss lays you off.  Your daughter got denied her student loan.  Your mortgage is overdue.  Your wife is leaving you.  Your mom dies.

It has been said many times before by people who are far more articulate than I, so I will paraphrase -  It matters not how many times a man gets knocked down; what matters is how many times he gets back up.  I am getting back up today.  I will get back up tomorrow.  I will continue to get up.  That's who I am.  That's who my kids think I am.  That's who my wife needs me to be.  That's who my parents raised me to be.  I will continue to get up because God has given me that resolve.

My addiction will not help me stand.  It will not help me get up.  For those of you that have been following the drama in the Springer family, I have been dealing with even more than I have shared here.  The one thing is, I will not dip to 'make it all better'.  I will not dip to 'ease the nerves'.  I will not dip 'just to get through this'.  I will not dip.

To all the incredible quitters here that have sent their prayers, kind words, and support; I cannot begin to thank you all.  Words cannot express my gratitude.  From the fine group of quitters in June 2010 to everyone that PM'd, texted, or emailed.  I couldn't list you all, because I'd forget someone and I don't want to do that. 

If you're a newbie and thinking about quitting dip - stick around.  You're in for the ride of your life.  The question is, "Are you ready?"
This right here is what is meant by Bad Ass Quitter.
WERD !!

GREAT POST !!

'clap'
Today....you added another brick to my foundation sir and further strengthened my resolve.


Thank you.

Mule 1021 days today.....and today has been counted because i have given my word....and quitters like you that absolutely lead the way....even to old timers....

See you in the morning.
