another FNG; new to this site;

[Brown71]

The first step to beating any problem is admitting the problem. It can be hard, it was for me. Honestly, I am realizing each day quit is bringing new challenges and change into my life. So far, excluding the withdrawal symptoms, everything has been for the better.

I am one of the October 16 BAQ's, join me in quit today. Post roll early everyday. Reach out to the old and new brothers, and actually utilize them! Tons of Wisdom to be had.

With all that being said, you need to answer the 3 questions. Not for me or anyone else, but for yourself and your quit. After all, it's your quit and no one else's. OWN YOUR QUIT!!

Hey matt
I'm a new guy here. But I've spent the last 30 years attempting to quit and I've had more than my share at failure and caving. I defiantly know all about those excuses for caving. I think I invented most of them!

I don't know how involved you where here when you were here last but what I've seen in the short time that I've been here is that your success in quitting and staying quit depends on your willingness get involved and give 110% to this site.

I don't have all the answers but it appears to me that those who are successful here post their promise 1st thing in the morning, keep that promise one day at a time as well as give back to other quitters and build accountablity. It appears those most successful are those who are willing to trade phone numbers and use those phone numbers when cravings get tough. Those who stay quit here seem to be the ones who realize there's no finish line to this race. There's no 100 day cure. Most of the people who come back here after being away from this site say the same thing. "I thought I had this beat. I stopped posting roll"

Congrats on the decision to come back and regain control of your life.

Hey chief, welcome back.

I was in the same boat as you man. I came here some time ago and lasted all of 4 or 5 days. I ended up in the hospital and the cravings sucked so bad I gave in and had a patch. Plain and simple, I pussed out. I had tools but refused to use them. It was all about me at the time. I came back and jumped in both feet first and running. best thing I have ever done. Once I gave in to the system and saw the ways of it, it just worked and continues to work daily for me. I don't worry about weeks or days, just one day at a time. I can't control yesterday or tomorrow but today is my day!

And you are right, you are going to catch some hell. I know I did. MAN did I catch hell and rightfully so. These folks put time and effort in to me for a few 4 or 5 days and I let them down. Obviously they were pissed at me and rightfully so then had to earn respect of my new group.

I know it is going to suck, but you really have to find your old quit group and answer the 3 questions:

What happened?
Why did it happen?
What are you going to do different this time?

Then you need to find your new quit group and answer there as well. Think them out. There is really only one answer to give but to each their own. Head on over to October 16 and post your day 1 and do your thing man. If you need any help or anything, I am here. Send me a PM or email. Id give my number but the phone company needed more cash than I had in my account this month. Thanks hackers!

Most important, if you have anything at all laying around, get rid of it. Ash trays, tins empty or full dump and rinse cans. Soak what you dump with vinegar or something. Any patches, vapes, lozenges, gum all that loose it if you have it.

I look forward to seeing you on roll. I quit with you today!

35 years old and have been making excuses for the nic bitch for too many years. Last "quit" was due to a scare from having to see an oral surgeon, lasted to the day I got the results that there was no issues requiring surgery (yet), and back at it I went because "I had to try the new Copenhagen Mint". All bull shit aside I gotta get my shit together and be done for good. Best of luck to everyone with their quit, I'm sure my cry baby story about quitting isn't much different from anyone else's other than I failed when I had been quit for years. Because I believed that somehow putting a pile of shit in my mouth would cure my problems. So I'm back facing day one.

Don't know if any of the guys I used to talk to are still on here from years ago, if so many apologies for my failure.

I'm sure a bunch of hard asses are going to read through my past posts and I'm going to hear all sorts of shit about being a pussy and all the I'm not for real because I caved. Don't really care though, that was yesterday and I'm only interested in today. I just want to be done with this part of my life and move on so here I am. If that ends up being you looking up my past posts to shame me, thanks ahead of time but I'm all out of medals for pointing out my failures, I gave the last one to my girlfriend.

I know I can do this I just need to find something that resonates with me

I'm a addict, a drug addict! Does that resonate?

He keeps checking in, but not posting his word to quit. Until he's ready to quit, we're just wasting our time.

Things on which to ruminate while you resonate.

This, or this (start from bottom, read up), or maybe this.

Matt, did you read these links Done4 put up here?!!!!!!!!! I wish you were ready to quit. Don't wait till its too late.

Don't worry about it. If you don't quit, the poison will Quit you early. Is that what you're waiting for?
Your choice. Your life.
Do or Do Not, there is No TRY.

Another Fart in the Wind........guess he didn't have enough RAGE this time around...........

Matt,

Rage doesn't get you quit! Rage can help you with your quit but it doesn't get you or keep you quit. Your inner will, fortitude and desire to win is what will get you and keep you quit. I am 531 days quit today and I still get cravings for a dip. Sometimes they are daily for a week. What keeps me quit is my desire and will power to say FU nicotine, I will not ever come back. Obviously stomping the cravings get easier with time under your belt, but you still have to have a plan to win. Mine is KTC! Now rage can help you for sure but don't rely on it forever. Rage and passion fade with time, resolve and will and inner desire is what keeps you on the path of nicotine freedom. This is a war that will never end, the key is winning the daily battles to remain free from your addiction. You will never be free from the war because you are an addict, none of us will ever have that pleasure but we did it to ourselves. I would also suggest that you don't use another mind altering addictive drug to quit the one you are currently trying to quit. Its kind of like robbing Peter to pay Paul, eventually the devil comes looking for payment. Balls in your court sweetheart!

Thanks to everyone who has shown some support. Yes I had every intention of posting up today. And yes I caved after 12 hours.
I don't get it... last time I got so pissed at this shit and I just threw it away and walked away. Weathered a few struggles but my anger just kept me going. I admit i started smoking weed for a while and that made it easier...but i really was done for a long time even when i missed roll call.
This time I want to quit but it seems harder... I can't focus. I can't seem to get pissed off at it enough... I guess that's like saying I can't seem to find a way to value life which is stupid. I've met someone new that wants me to quit and supports me but she doesn't understand it because she's way innocent and never faced addiction. I know I can do this I just need to find something that resonates with me... last time I did this I posted an introduction and thought no one would do or say shit to me... the next day syndrome replied and hit the nail on the head and I was blown away.... I threw it down and was done. I'm frustrated as hell here.

The only way to quit is to STOP PUTTING THAT SHIT IN YOUR MOUTH!

Being quit doesn't depend on whether we feel like it today. It's about making a promise and carrying that promise through whatever the day brings. Don't feel like being quit, not pissed enough today? TOO FUCKING BAD, YOU MADE A PROMISE!

Balls and Integrity are what it takes to be quit. Do you have either one?

Yeah I have em. Why you think I didn't post up.

It doesn't take balls to cave, numb nuts. It takes balls to quit. You don't get it. If you don't want to quit, we can't help you.

Someone new ain't gonna make you quit.

Do YOU want to quit? If so, why do YOU want to quit? What are YOU willing to do to be quit?

Not so deep down, you know you need to quit. It's not exactly a logical reach to conclude that, either. Hell, it sounds like you got to watch a relative lose the southern half of his face to this awful plant. Yet, you are still stuffing your face. Every marker, every indicator has been demonstrated to you firsthand why dipping is such a monumentally bad idea. Yet, here you are. Still stuffing your face.

Addiction is a fucking bitch.

You can give yourself all of the pep talks in the world, psych yourself up, and get super fucking pissed at nicotine. All of it will be like trying to stop a freight train with a BB gun unless you know down in the depths of your soul that you are done. Truly done.

That's not to say every day thereafter will be easy, but you will at least know no other alternative to being Quit in your own mind.

My advice would be to hurry up and get done. Before it's too late, hopefully. Until then, you're wasting your time by doing all of this wanting, wishing, and hoping. All with a cat shit in your face, no less.

Do or Do Not there is No Try.
Have you met the addict in the mirror?
