Heard thereÂ’s a new soap box somewhere in April 12 but IÂ’ll be damned if I can find it

A new gentle and calming wind seams to tickle the ears now but that’s NOT what got me here today (714). The revolving door of ‘failed quits’ looks like a fan due the number of caves. Their story is the same: ‘I stopped posting roll regularly and I drifted”. Some think they have nothing to pay forward and feel they have benefited from the site but don’t need it any longer. Some will use the excuse ‘this site makes me think `of Copenhagen too much (my drug of choice for nearly 35 yrs) . My only response to that is no shit Sherlock – we are addicts in an inactive stage and we should be intentional and determined about our quit.

The lack of chatter in the rooms is deafening. No room chatter equates to no synergy of the group and no bonding. I guess all the chatter is behind the scenes via text.

Be active, be diligent and pay it forward. Like any organization, we will only grow if you are actively quit, use the tools learned from this site and spread the word.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Last night, my wife and I made a decision that we have been dreading for the last four months and let our German Shepard go to sleep.  This is the second time I’ve had to do this but in no way was it easier.   We adopted her from a rescue group almost ten years ago and is one of our family since we don't have kids.  Our vet and vet tech are closer personal friends of ours.  We have vacationed with their families and consider them pseudo family so it wasn’t surprising that our vet tech and her husband (who I also worked with for 10 years) met us last night.  He is still a Copenhagen user and the thought of asking him for a can last night was fleeting at best.  My anger and sorrow over the loss of our Shepard to bone cancer was so much greater and it only emboldened my resolve. 

Use of nicotine only enhances one thing, the addiction to nicotine.

Stay strong, stay quit and FUCK YOU CANCER

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.
