I quit on the May 7th, and have been on this site every day - reading, reading and reading some more. I've been trying to decide whether to join the August group and begin posting roll – which I just did officially a few minutes ago. 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. 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.
