I'm back after not posting for a while. I fell back into the trap for stupid reasons but I cannot blame reasons for the rest of my life. It was my decision and I regret it. After a year and a half without it, I thought I could just pack one and see what would happen. Well flash forward 5 months. Time to clean up before I ruin everything. When can I post?
If you have thrown everything out including spitters and any safety cans, you can post a day 1 in the April 2014 quit group. Since you have done this before you know the drill. Post and repeat. Welcome back, take the egg off your face, and embrace the suck!!! No more for any reason. You are a nic addict and always will be!!!! There is no such thing as "just" one as you have learned the hard way!
Right on. Threw everything away. Will post roll in the morning as I did for today. See you tomorrow.
And don't forget to post in your old and new group, explaining what happened, and what you will do to prevent it happening in the future.
Damn! Walk away and it is your own risk here folks! Good example of why to keep posting in your group no matter how trivial it may seem!

Quit -1/23/06
HOF -5/02/06 May 2006 Drama Queens

Proverbs 18:2

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."


A Quit Plan: Do you have one?


CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit.
After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco. SportDad 1/13/05

Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light.-
Good-night, dear heart, good-night.

Be silly, be honest, be kind

Anyone know of a way to use the live chat on a mobile? Maybe a app of some kind?
http://blog.killthecan.org/2012/05/mobi ... available/

Okie, I found the link up above through KTC's search engine. It leads to Chewie's blog which I think may cover your question. Holler if there's anything else.
Yep... you can use that app.

However, chat should be completely responsive at this point and you shouldn't need to do anything except visit http://chat.killthecan.org/

For a while you weren't able to use iDevices as it required flash, but that's no longer the case. I'm in chat right now on my iPhone with no problems.
Thanks. I ended up with the app cause I couldn't get the live hat from the site to work. Might be be because my phone is older than dirt but who knows. Thanks for getting me set up fellers

Day 3 is a bitch. I am in my mid 40s and don't recall the struggles of kicking this habit when I gave it up when I was 20. Then again, I have been a can-a-day user for past 3 years. I woke up this morning hoping that they have an unlimited amount of Grizzly in Heaven! I guess laughing on day 3 is a good thing.
Hang in there my man! Day #3 tends to be about the absolute worst that you're dealing with. It takes nicotine 72 hours (3 days) to work its way out of your body... so you're in the home stretch to becoming nicotine free!

Just venting, here goes.

Day 1 off nicotine, day 7 off snuff.

Guts are shitty. I did just have some abdominal surgery, so assumed it was simply that.
After doing some reading, I can sympathize.

25 years of straight skoal, fuck that was a long time.
What was I thinking?

As I said still re-covering from surgery, scared shitless of triggers when I return to work.

First cup of Coffee in a week was a bad one, and right after supper.

Eating a pile of shit. Peppermints, candies, jamming salted pretzels in my lip.
Must look like a fool,
I am not giving up! I had no idea how bad of an addict I was/am.
I never wanted to quit.
Cant believe I never tried.

I WILL DO THIS. THERE IS NOT ONE SHRED OF DOUGHT.
ODAAT.......NAFAR!!! These are the terms you will learn to live and love on this site. Almost a year now on my personal Quit and I still Swear by it daily. Stay strong and stay Quit...it get's sooooooooo much better.

Quote from: arvadadug
ZmanT still hanging in there?  I found a brand new can in my wife's car. Wtf kind of test is that?  Still chew free.  I don't understand the roll call thing, that is...how to do it, I understand the accountability and all... Day 3 with ya
I THINK I have roll call figured out

There's a thread called Pre-HOF April 2014 - hit it and go to page 1 - which is the page with the most recent posts oddly

Find the last one and hit the 'quote' button

In the message window that pops up you'll want to CUT the text from the lower box (don't copy, cut)

Paste that in the blank box for your post, find where the name goes and insert a line with your daily roll affirmation. Be sure to list your name and the # of days quit you have.

I just did it to check my instructions - should see my bump post there at the top of page 1

Now - as to the can you found, throw it out if you haven't already. You won't need it. Just throw that fucker away dude.
ZMan, I think you gotta copy the text box before you cut it and paste to the blank box. Otherinwise you'd a be pastin some eronious like text. Copying, cutting and pasting our way to freedom every damn day! Sometimes I forget the cutting part and the whole post gets doubled up. That there's referred to as the snaffoo. :o Somein the other times Iza paste up the wrong text into the right box. That's real fun cause then nobody knows what month theyz in. :D That one there I like to call the FUBAR post. Peepers taught me that one. :ph43r: The impotant thing to keep in mind is that the only real way to screw it up is iffin your name aint on it. 'finger point' The thong colored welcome tab up top there is a pretty good reference.
