The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

First off, I'm from Detroit, we just choked away 3-1 series lead to your squad.  Fuck!!!!

Tomorrow.  I am going on a diet and losing some lbs.   I have all my cookbooks and nutritional charts out, my workouts all penciled in, my veggies ready for the juicer, my deal-a-meal cards, and my P90X AND Insanity dvds ready to rock and roll.

Wait...

Tomorrow is Saturday.  I can't start a diet on Saturday.  Its the weekend.  I'm going golfing, I gotta throw down some brewskis with the boys and scarf down grimace proportions of bar food after.  Then I gotta get my nap on, wake up, hit the clubs, get but ass wasted and end the night face down in a heap of white castle and then sleep it all off Sunday and wrap up a great weekend with a pie from Tony Pizzolis .

Ill start my diet Monday.   It will be easier that way.

(This is actually shit I've personally said and done.  I'm still a lot of lbs overweight.  I'm gonna start Monday though...)
Well played Diesel, well played.

Blackhawk, I suggest that you go back and read what Ready posted. Read if very slowly, and then go post roll. Quit today, and I quit with you. This site WILL help you get it done. Seems a little gruff at first, but you will catch on. Quitting nicotine is DAMN hard, and I suggest you use all the resources that you have at your disposal.
I'm with got-2. Today is the day,, I'll be looking for that post. If I was you I wouldn't even put in that morning dip. Lets start this day off right. You have prepared and prepared. This is the day. Lets do it!!!! I'll be glad to quit with you.

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.

You got four pages of these guys posted their support for you on day 0, even if it didn't feel like support. Imagine that support when you want to eat Black Kow mulch at about day 8. I'd say you're in the perfect place.

Quote from: Blackhawks
Wow....not exactly the warm welcome I was expecting.  People offering to ransack my house and telling me to get the fuck out of here because I haven't quit yet.  Very Nice.  Maybe I should have just posted tomorrow on Day 1 or maybe this isn't the right community for me to join as I begin my Quit Tomorrow.

Other people are mocking the steps I have taken as I have been preparing for my Quit.  I have attempted to Quit numerous times in the past and it has never worked for me.  I have never taken any Past Quit Attempt seriously though. (AKA - I have never joined a Quit Group and posted roll, never wrote down triggers or planned for them, never kept a craving log, never seriously thought about and wrote down reasons to quit, never made a relapse prevention plan or bought a wall calender to check off the days, never prepared a daily quit schedule to follow, never prepared a tapering off schedule over 2 weeks leading up to the quit and I have been down to 1 a day now, never thought of ways to involve my spouse, etc.).  This time, I have meticulously done all these things over the past 2 weeks in preparation for tomorrow's quit because I want "This Time" to be the last time.  I want "This Time" to work.

It sounds like most of you woke-up one day, randomly decided to quit, threw out your stash and never looked back.  My most sincere congratulations to you!  You are better and stronger men than I.  I'm sure you have bigger dicks than me too.  Why don't you come to my house and kick my ass and fuck my wife?  I have tried the wake-up and quit approach and failed too many times.  This time, I am over-thinking it and over-preparing because my family deserves my best effort and my full concentration and focus on this task. 

I apologize if I offended anyone.  I will leave if that is what people want because I posted too soon or if my over-thinking it and too cute approach is not acceptable.

And yes, I am from Chicago where the Blackhawks reign supreme.
"Wow....not exactly the warm welcome I was expecting."

what exactly were you expecting? Just curious. Were you expecting us quitters to do it your way? Think about that.

"People offering to ransack my house"

I read what he wrote and that's not what he said. Evil Won was offering to come over and help you get rid of all of your stashes making sure you don't have any cans left.

"telling me to get the fuck out of here because I haven't quit yet."

Is that truly what you heard? Read through it all again

"Very Nice."

I could understand if you were quit and in the fog/rage. But your're not. So now you're just being an ass.

"maybe this isn't the right community for me to join as I begin my Quit Tomorrow."

You may have a point here. Seriously, if you are going to get this butt hurt over people, complete strangers, tripping all over themselves to help you quit, then you may not have what it takes to be here and be a quitter. "This takes commitment, effort, accountability and to be honest....blood, guts and nuts." - redtrain14

"Other people are mocking the steps I have taken as I have been preparing for my Quit."

Lighten up Francis

" I have attempted to Quit numerous times in the past and it has never worked for me."

Forehead slap. Then try our way. If it doesn't work out, then call us assholes.

"I have never taken any Past Quit Attempt seriously though."

We do. listen. You may learn what it takes from those who are quit

" (AKA - I have never joined a Quit Group and posted roll, never wrote down triggers or planned for them, never kept a craving log, never seriously thought about and wrote down reasons to quit, never made a relapse prevention plan or bought a wall calender to check off the days, never prepared a daily quit schedule to follow, never prepared a tapering off schedule over 2 weeks leading up to the quit and I have been down to 1 a day now, never thought of ways to involve my spouse, etc.). This time, I have meticulously done all these things over the past 2 weeks in preparation for tomorrow's quit because I want "This Time" to be the last time. I want "This Time" to work."

Relax. What's done is done. Your way doesn't work or you wouldn't be here. Try our way.

"It sounds like most of you woke-up one day, randomly decided to quit, threw out your stash and never looked back. My most sincere congratulations to you! You are better and stronger men than I. I'm sure you have bigger dicks than me too. Why don't you come to my house and kick my ass and fuck my wife? I have tried the wake-up and quit approach and failed too many times. This time, I am over-thinking it and over-preparing because my family deserves my best effort and my full concentration and focus on this task."

Taking things personally will not serve your quit. Embrace those who are attempting to help you. Read, think about what is written.

"I will leave if that is what people want because I posted too soon or if my over-thinking it and too cute approach is not acceptable."

Most of us can smell this for what it is

Look Jackass, You are not special. You want to quit, listen to these fine quitters. Accept that they are trying to help you. They are not getting paid. They are using their own time to reach out and help you. They are not trying to hurt your feelings or get you to leave. Jimminy damn christmas dude, are you that full of yourself. Take a damn breath and try to comprehend what is happening here.

Post roll giving your word of honor that you will not use nicotine in any way, shape or form today.

Keep your word.

The rest will work itself out.

We will help, if you let us.

Can only speak for myself and no, it wasn't that random. I went for the regular 6 monthly dental check-up and cleaning. Each time I feared that I would get the announcement that I had cancer. I was convinced each cleaning would result in "the" day, it wasn't. My dipping was never mentioned.

It wasn't until my appointment on 10/10/12, a day that I felt fucking great. Mouth, teeth, gums and everything else felt great. Cancer? No way. Guess what? That was the day my dentist told me he saw "cellular changes", that it "didn't look good at all", etc.

I had wanted to quit every day for 15 of the 16 years that I dipped. Truth was I wasn't ready to be "man enough" and fight like never before. I too have a wife and 2 girls (5 and 7) and feared for their futures every day. I was weak then.

Well, my dentist scared the fuck out of me that day. I sat shell-shocked in my car for quite a bit. Didn't cry, didn't ask "why me". I knew the day was coming and that day was 10/10/12. It was no surprise. Thankfully, I was then scared enough to quit and even went back to the denstist for a cancer screening after hitting the HOF and as my dentist said, "looks normal, it's amazing how the body can heal itself". I was lucky. Turns out that cdaniels was lucky too but he had you have a chunk of his tongue cut out and examined. Ready for a dose of reality? Read THIS. Just scroll down a few pages to get to the part where he talks about feeling the amount of blood pouring out of his tongue as they cut and the ensuing panic attack.

Did I celebrate missing cancer by throwing in a fatty? No, but I honestly wanted to. But I can't. I'm an addict. Was then, am today, and will be tomorrow. That's the sad truth. Do what you want, when you want. Find the final motivation that will push you to quit or don't. Your fate. Your decision.

I will alter my offer. If you'd like to meet for a beer or two and discuss this addiction thing in person, let me know. Check your inbox (1) for my number. Sometimes meeting someone face to face that has been in your exact situation and understands can help a great deal. I'm on the west side. Where are you?
I wish you were in NY. I would have and still would meet someone who cared enough to tell me the way it is in person!
It sounds to me like a lot of people really care about you blackhawks. People that don't even know you personally. Sounds to me like your in the right place when you do decide to quit that poison.

You have to understand,, You came In here today with the poison in your lip. Not one person that has gave you advise likes that stuff you are using. If you are using one more day it is to long for us. We hate it so bad we despise it. It's taken our money, freedom, integrity and was slowly killing us. It is doing the same to you my friend. Look at yourself man! It's got you making calenders, plans,plans and more plans. It's got you scared to take that step... It doesn't want you to take that step and realize it's a big lie. The poison will try and talk you out of quitting every step of the way. SO FAR NICOTINE IS IN CONTROL OF YOU,,,, NOT YOU!!!!

To be fare let me make a list of the good things that nicotine does on a daily basis.


Sorry,, I got nothing! You post roll today, tomorrow, whenever your plan allows and I'll quit with you my friend.
FUCK YES!!!!! I'M FIRED UP RIGHT NOW!

I love how much you have planned for tomorrow. I just hope tomorrow comes and I see you post roll! I will be looking! For me planning never worked. It took me till the day that I say white lesions in my mouth to quit. The doc said it looks like Cancer. I had tests done and it wasn't. Thank God. I will not temp fate again. I am quit! Don't wait till the day that your wife has to sit through a test with you, like mine did! It was sad. I was a scared little boy who wanted his mommy. But she couldn't help me..... I had put this wheel in motion! Still chokes me up to think about!

Did I celebrate missing cancer by throwing in a fatty? No, but I honestly wanted to. But I can't. I'm an addict. Was then, am today, and will be tomorrow. That's the sad truth. Do what you want, when you want. Find the final motivation that will push you to quit or don't. Your fate. Your decision.

Wow....not exactly the warm welcome I was expecting. People offering to ransack my house and telling me to get the fuck out of here because I haven't quit yet. Very Nice. Maybe I should have just posted tomorrow on Day 1 or maybe this isn't the right community for me to join as I begin my Quit Tomorrow.

Other people are mocking the steps I have taken as I have been preparing for my Quit. I have attempted to Quit numerous times in the past and it has never worked for me. I have never taken any Past Quit Attempt seriously though. (AKA - I have never joined a Quit Group and posted roll, never wrote down triggers or planned for them, never kept a craving log, never seriously thought about and wrote down reasons to quit, never made a relapse prevention plan or bought a wall calender to check off the days, never prepared a daily quit schedule to follow, never prepared a tapering off schedule over 2 weeks leading up to the quit and I have been down to 1 a day now, never thought of ways to involve my spouse, etc.). This time, I have meticulously done all these things over the past 2 weeks in preparation for tomorrow's quit because I want "This Time" to be the last time. I want "This Time" to work.

It sounds like most of you woke-up one day, randomly decided to quit, threw out your stash and never looked back. My most sincere congratulations to you! You are better and stronger men than I. I'm sure you have bigger dicks than me too. Why don't you come to my house and kick my ass and fuck my wife? I have tried the wake-up and quit approach and failed too many times. This time, I am over-thinking it and over-preparing because my family deserves my best effort and my full concentration and focus on this task.

I apologize if I offended anyone. I will leave if that is what people want because I posted too soon or if my over-thinking it and too cute approach is not acceptable.

And yes, I am from Chicago where the Blackhawks reign supreme.
Blackhawk, I felt exactly like that at 1st, but the truth is, we only quit when we throw the can out,

There is no half way with Nicotine. It is an all or nothing event.

If you want to quit it is as simple as throwing that last dribble in the toilet and pitching the can in the trash.

People are pretty direct here. and at times to the point of seeming offensive. They do so because they know it is a life or death deal.

YOU want to be free of Nicotine YOU make the choice. Don't say tomorrow. Tomorrow never arrives..

Say TODAY.

Can only speak for myself and no, it wasn't that random. I went for the regular 6 monthly dental check-up and cleaning. Each time I feared that I would get the announcement that I had cancer. I was convinced each cleaning would result in "the" day, it wasn't. My dipping was never mentioned.

It wasn't until my appointment on 10/10/12, a day that I felt fucking great. Mouth, teeth, gums and everything else felt great. Cancer? No way. Guess what? That was the day my dentist told me he saw "cellular changes", that it "didn't look good at all", etc.

I had wanted to quit every day for 15 of the 16 years that I dipped. Truth was I wasn't ready to be "man enough" and fight like never before. I too have a wife and 2 girls (5 and 7) and feared for their futures every day. I was weak then.

Well, my dentist scared the fuck out of me that day. I sat shell-shocked in my car for quite a bit. Didn't cry, didn't ask "why me". I knew the day was coming and that day was 10/10/12. It was no surprise. Thankfully, I was then scared enough to quit and even went back to the denstist for a cancer screening after hitting the HOF and as my dentist said, "looks normal, it's amazing how the body can heal itself". I was lucky. Turns out that cdaniels was lucky too but he had you have a chunk of his tongue cut out and examined. Ready for a dose of reality? Read THIS.
