I quit

[Wooly]

How you doing wooly?
Today is day 25 your first quarter to a hundy. How are wife and kids digging dad without poison?

I'm feeling good with the quit. Wife and kids didn't know I was dipping which makes me feel like crap that 1) I was doing it 2) I was hiding it and 3) putting my life, health, and relationship in jeopardy for that crap. Wish I would have stayed strong 4 years ago and resisted the offer. I surely never thought caving in and saying yes would lead to 4 years of poisoning myself.

When you quit did you experience soreness in your throat?

Hey Wooly, glad to see you hanging in there! My gums and throat were pretty well healed up and no longer sore around the HOF. YMMV tho! Just keep going. Its gets so much better.

Hof? Ymmv?

Thanks for reply rdad

YMMV-Your mileage may vary on how fast your mouth feels normal again.

Ahh thanks. Wow 100 days to heal....guess that makes sense given the number of days spent damaging the mouth and throat. Your words and reading other people's intros help big time with controlling the anxiety over possible health issues... Google searches surely don't help anxiety but def help with the quit.

Thanks again for the input!

Haven't seen you on roll yet man, hopefully you're just enjoying your Sunday.

It helps to post roll first thing in the morning. That way if a crave hits you late morning / early afternoon you've already posted your promise and you can use that as a tool to fight.

Congrats on hitting three weeks yesterday!

Thanks for looking out, pretty awesome that others catch these things. Just posted roll, busy day with the wife and kids is all.

Totally agree with Canless2014.
Dude he's not even in your group and he was looking out for you.
I would get on your spread sheet and find a brother above you and under you. Exchange numbers and text each other if not on roll by say 9am.
That's how we pay it forward... So find someone your responsible for.
You got a great quit going. Respect totally the 3 weeks. I quit with you today and ODAAT.

Not a bad idea from Rawls, I had never heard that before. As far as checking in, I do it for selfish reasons haha. For me, engaging with new quitters is the best way to protect my own quit. Sometimes I think about the money, time  health I gave away to nicotine / tobacco and it can get depressing. Years we can't get back. So if I can ever help a brother or sister follow through on his or her quit, I feel like it's sort of sticking it to big tobacco again and again. Hopefully we'll get to a point where we have more people quitting tobacco than those starting it ... and it's the home stretch from there. That's my philosophy anyhow.. quit on !

Fawk, what a wake up call. 15 years. And now 18 days of hard core, white-knuckled solo quit. Do you ever do anything the easy way, Wooly? I'm glad you're here, brother and I'm quit with you today. Shoot me a PM if you need some support or anything.

[rdad]

Nice Job. Perfect! Now do that everyday first thing!

[Wooly]

Congrats on a great choice, Wooly! 18 days on your own is HUGE. Just learn how and why we post roll...and do it. Welcome. YOU GOT THIS!!!

Where you at Wooly? Still looking for your Promise in April.





Done! Hope I did it correctly
