I'm done lurking

[CleanFuel]

Will everyone please indulge me for a moment while I play my role as the contrarian? Jungle...need more info....who are you, what do you do, need some personal G2...while you type that, some things to consider.......

Right now you are operating on pure adrenaline. While I commend you on your outstanding intro, you missed the best part.....your quickening....your foundation....your posts of hate, rage, craziness of the first 3 days.....your most important part.....

While everyone else brushes your hair and tells you how awesome your intro is, I will say this......your fight just started man.....you will be tested like you have no idea.....i am here for you.....PM me if you need a number

Stay quit and welcome. Pm for digits.

This intro is fucking Quit-porn. I have quit-wood right now.

[Jungleland]

Thanks for the welcome. The first week wasn't great between craves and fog, but it's gotten a lot better the last few days. I don't doubt though that I'm going to need a few numbers to either text or call at some point. I know Nic plans on ambushing me, and as I've learned on this site, I've got to be prepared for it.

Like many here, I have a lot of triggers that are part of my daily routine that I need time to unlearn. Especially the hour long commute (damn) and yard/barn work (double damn). Hunting and fishing too - I am planning on some fishing in June, but I will not go by myself.

My father smoked when I was young and then switched to skoal, quit cold turkey and then later smoked a pipe for a few years and then quit cold turkey again - it's probably been 20 years or more for him now. He did it, and I plan on doing the same.

Jungle it really is impressive you've stayed off the nicotine and probably had quite a few crave attacks. Hopefully knowing other folks are trying to accomplish the same thing and there is strength in numbers can give you support. I'm with you and heck I might be calling you trying to get a few pointers if today is any indication. Sunset soon so tomorrow's another day.

You're a better quitter than me already, and I'm sitting at 130 days. You lurked for, what, a week or two? I lurked for seven fucking months. At least we aren't lurking around the gas station counter anymore, wondering if Jesus or our elementary PE teacher might walk in as we stuff that tin in our pants.

BTW, you quit on a terrible weekend. Long weekend, barbeques, poolside outings, etc. If you crave a dip, go to the store and grab a bag of Milkbones. They are actually quite a bit healthier than dip. They taste like shit, but you could actually live off dog treats if you had to. Lots of crude protein and whatnot.

Remember that every day. If you own a dog, he or she is eating shit far better than you have been. Good intro. Check your PM for my number. If you need it at 4 a.m. EST, I'll talk you off the ledge. If, in fact, I wake up.

Quit now, jungle. Just be a man that doesn't do that anymore. It's actually really invigorating.

Big splash into the quit for a Memorial Day weekend. Watch the booze (its a quit killer) post first thing every damn day and keep your word. Strap it on cuz it's called the suck for a reason. Lots of water and exercise will help. Reach out for help - you're not an island

[Erussell]

Awesome, bout time you got your balls ready, manned up and posted roll! Now there is no out, you've closed the loop hole. Keep your word, damn it. Jungleland I am glad you are in the group brother. Stay close get to know some of us reach out. I sent you my info in a pm. Let me know if you need me.. I am quiting with you one day at time my man.

[Morgan1]

There's nothing to it Jungleland. Just look in the mirror everyday and man up. It's as simple as that. Post roll with your August brothers and honor it. Get some phone numbers and make some contacts in your group because they will help you through any rough patches. PM me if you want mine. You're gonna love being quit if you attack it in full force. Be the aggressor. Own it. Read, read, and read some more. This site has every imaginable scenario of quit duration, former tobacco usage time, ages, races, genders, etc. Make some friends and dive in man. Welcome.

[jhaenel23]

I can tell you have been around because you are already using our jargon!!! Quit with you bro!! Let me know if you need anything!!

[G]

Awesome post. Welcome, sir. Yell if you need anything.

[30isEnuff]

I quit on the May 7th, and have been on this site every day - reading, reading and reading some more.Ã,  I've been trying to decide whether to join the August group and begin posting roll Ã,â€" which I just did officially a few minutes ago.Ã,  I have been pretty much on here everyday mentally posting roll anyway!

I realize the need to be committed, to be ALL IN, no half assing this - no leaving myself an out or an open door... I know Nic will be waiting for me if I do.

I started to get the feeling that by lurking I am using the benefit of the group, but not contributing, and it just feels wrong to continue to do so.

There are so many reasons to quit, and I've heard them all before - cost, health, family, you name it.Ã,  But what I can see now is for me there is only one reason to quit that will stick - I'm quitting for me, not for my wife or kids, even though they deserve it. I've tried, and it didn't work.

Each day, one day at a time, I am going to give myself the gift of a day without nicotine.

If anyone is out there holding back like I was, I challenge you to do the same, and together let's give ourselves the gift of a life without nicotine.

That was probably one of my favorite introductions I have read. Fantastic! Welcome to KTC... Though I guess you've been here for awhile. Glad you joined my Quit group. Let me know if you need anything...

Welcome Jungleland to taking your life back.
This may be the hardest thing you've ever done, but 40000 have quit before us to light the way.
You can "be quit". One day at a time....you got this...
Keep reading brother, keep posting roll, the earlier the better for your quit.
get to bed, wake and repeat...
Glad to have you here.
Cheers.
