Waking up every couple hours...

3am now - and Thanks Gatorade for the experience and encouragement.

If it wasnÂ’t for this site and you guys, I would think IÂ’m going crazy.

A quick check in here and back to sleep, luckily I sleep well naturally, so getting back to sleep hasnÂ’t been a problem.

I had issues with not sleeping well for awhile melitonin helped me out. Id take 2.5 miligram right before bed and it helped me sleep better. I just did it from time to time didn't want it to effect my body's production of melatonin.

Thanks Skinny, thank you for that insight, makes me think again...

And that kinda hurts :-)

Maybe IÂ’m not posting day count way down the road for myself, maybe IÂ’m posting Day count for the new guy that comes in here?

Just wanted to add that I think every single quitter has these thoughts at some point in time. I never really could grasp the ODAAT mantra in the beginning. Sure, I paid it lip service but it just didn't feel real, if that makes sense. Until recently when many of my group and mentors have either left or talked of leaving, did that ODAAT mantra really take hold of me. I posted 363 today. I too, want true freedom as you speak. I don't know for sure it exists but dammit I'm determined to find out! I don't know if I will be posting daily come day 3,000 or 900 for that matter. All I know is I posted today. I may or may not post tomorrow. I'll have to wake up and see. I'm pretty sure I'll post but that worry is for tomorrow. Get some Quit!

This is for you, man, and a few other special snowflakes...

SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HOW WE DO THINGS HERE.

You came to this site for a reason.

You tried quitting your way, and it did not work.

You signed up here of your own volition.

You asked for us to help you and hold you accountable.

You did that because we have thousands of success stories that show WE KNOW HOW TO HELP PEOPLE QUIT.

That means that we expect you to listen to us when we tell you what you need to do in order to quit.

Crazy, huh?

We expect you post roll.

First thing.

Every damn day.

Yes, on the weekends, too.

Yes, when you are busy, too.

WHICH PART OF "EVERY DAY" IS CONFUSING YOU?

That is how we do things here.

After you post roll, you keep your promise.

That means you abstain from using nicotine in any way, shape, or form.

That means you do whatever it takes for you to keep your promise.

That means you reach out to other quitters before you say "Fuck it!" and stuff, sniff, smoke or poke that crap.

THAT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN NICOTINE OFF THE TABLE.

Don't you fuckers dare get pissed at us for trying to save your damn lives.

THAT IS WHAT YOU ASKED US TO DO.

Get with the program. Drink the kool-aid. Do what we told you works.[/quote]That is the SHIT right there!!!

Sam...you are my fucking hero at this moment!!!

Day 11 - and I've doing some more thinking as it relates to my other addictions....

The thing is, I didn't keep dipping because I like the taste, I didn't do it because it was cool...

(and I didn't drink or use for those reasons either, I did it for the effect)

I may have started because of peer pressure, or because the cool kids did, but I didn't keep doing it because of that.

I kept on doing it because it changed the way I feel

And I like to think that it doesn't change the way I feel anymore, that I'm used to it, that is not true, I wouldn't have these awful withdrawals if that were the case

The core issue, is, Why did I need to change the way I felt?

And until I get to the bottom of that, I am never going to be truly free from my substances or behaviors, Never...




So if six years from now I'm still counting days of not using nicotine, does that sound truly free?

If I'm waking up every morning and trudging to the computer to tell you guys I have one more day and I promise not to use today... does that sound truly free?

It's certainly required in the beginning, and then for a while, and I will need to remain vigilant forever - but I believe true freedom exists.

Counting days when I'm years down the road sounds like white knuckling - I can't live like that and my experience has shown that I don't have to.

NOW - THAT SAID... If you choose to, want to, it works for you, CONTINUE of course

There is absolutely no doubt whats happening here works, and works amazingly

But what I believe is that when something works, it can work better - and true freedom sounds better than counting days to infinitude.

Flame Suit On

I agree that I want there to come a time where I wake up and simply donÂ’t think about dip at all anymore and pass it by in the store as if its Never been for me. I donÂ’t know if that day will come as I am only at day 60 but it seems attainable as I go days without a craving now.

Either way, quitting is a lifetime thing for me whether it means I WUPP every day forever or if it means There comes a day where I just donÂ’t think of it anymore IÂ’ll always know, IÂ’ll never be able to just have one ever again.

[Borrowed from BrianG, Because, I like it...]

30's word to those that think they know more than the vets......

Imagine that you are standing in front of a minefield...on the other side of that minefield stands a soldier...not only has he walked that minefield safely, but he has guided thousands of others through that minefield safely as well.. He hails you from the other side and offers to guide you across safely...

do you:

a) tell him he is well meaning but really doesn't know shit about minefields

or

b.) shut up and listen to what he has to say, treading the path of thousands of others before you.


one way guarantees you safe passage, Why tread a new path?

drink the kool aid...drink long. drink deep.

Don't be a casualty.

In general, I am a fuzzy care bear. I love supporting people. This site is awesome, the quitters here are awesome, and I don't mind being on the phone talking or texting or swapping PMs with someone going through their quit. I'll sit there and listen to you rage at me, or tell me about your job or your kids or significant other. I'll do my best to encourage you, psych you up, pick you up, get you back on your feet and dust you off if that's what you need! Whatever it takes for you to get through the day and stay away from a can... so long as you

WUPP, EDD.

That's the minimum. One day. One post. One promise.

[big][big][big][big][big][big]This is the the price of admission.[/big][/big][/big][/big][/big][/big]

That's the price that you pay to get dozens of quitters in your corner, ready to help you at a moment's notice. It's not too steep, I don't think. Less than 60 seconds at the start of your day.

If you can't post roll, post and ask for a pickup. If you can't get on the site, text someone and ask for a pickup.

First thing in the morning, every damn day.

If quitting isn't worth 60 seconds of your time, brother... why are you even here?

If quitting isn't worth 60 seconds of your time, brother... why should I even care?

Random observations:

I have always flossed my teeth, itÂ’s probably why my teeth survived all the years of dipping. It is very nice not to be working all those little black chunks out of my teeth, IÂ’m actually fast on my teeth for the reason you floss your teeth, and IÂ’ve already noticed that my teeth are whiter after only nine days.

It feels good to quit, it just freaking feels good to be taking care of myself, to be doing good things for myself, between and booze, the dope, the nicotine, and other things, it was damn hard to walk around with my head held high. I can do that more and more, and today with “The Quit”, makes it even more so.

I sponsor some guys in 12 Step Recovery, I talk about having self worth, about truly caring about ones self, and I always felt as I was speaking out of both sides of my mouth, a bit hypocritical, sitting there with a turd IÂ’m my cheek and a spit cup btween my legs. Nicotine is every bit the drug as others, many in recovery have that addiction also, and this is adding to my toolbox, giving me one more tool to help others.

Super grateful to be Quit today, I feel great, and IÂ’m having a blast doing this with yÂ’all!!

Keep it up bro, one day at a time! I'm going on my third extended vacation dip free, and it is wonderful!

This is awesome!

Take your medicine. Take your meds.

People would come up with all sorts of crappy reasons why they shouldn't have to take their meds. The #1 reason, over and above everything else, was something like, "I feel fine now! I haven't heard any voices or thought about killing myself in weeks!"

Yeah, you know why, genius? It's because you've been taking your damn meds.

KTC doesn't give you a prescription for a drug. What it does give you is a prescription for how to beat your addiction: WUPP EDD.

That's it. That's your medicine. There's your meds. It's the reason you're quit. Just... keep... doing it.

Take your damn meds.

You wake up feeling crappy? Post roll.
You wake up feeling great? Post roll.
You still think about nic all the time? Post roll.
You hardly ever think about nic anymore? Post roll.
Life is great? Post roll.
Life sucks? Post roll.
Your day is go-go-go from the minute you roll out of bed? Wow! You sure are busy! Now FOCKING POST ROLL.

There's a half dozen ways to get on roll. USE ONE OF THEM. First thing in the morning, every damn day.

You want to stay quit? Take your meds. WUPP EDD. It's that simple.
