Glad you've made the decision.

Can you make us a promise in the morning to be quit for one day?

Can you honor your word?

If you can do those things you will succeed.

All the other brothers and sisters in quit seem to have already said everything I was going to say...

So I'll just say welcome to the brotherhood! 'welcome'

Quote from: Surgio65
So here I am, just tossed a nearly full can of Skoal down the toilet. Done it many times before, saying that was it, I was done, blah, blah, blah; only to stop at the closest gas station the next morning to buy another can. I've seen this place before - knew it was here - but figured I could do it in my own. Finally looking back at all the failed attempts has finally made me realize I'm just kidding myself thinking that way.

I'm tired of this shit. I'm tired of not being able to resist. I'm tired of hiding it from loved ones. I'm tired of it's control on my moods. I'm tired of the money I spend on this shit. For many more reasons than I care to type down I'm just tired of this shit and I'm done.

About me - born n raised a Hoosier. I like watching cars chase each other around race tracks (open-wheel, not NASCAR,) playing guitar, brewing beer, and playing video games (on the PS4.) Have a good wife and a couple of kids who think the dip disappeared several weeks ago (if they only knew, right?) Other than that I'm just a weak-willed piece of crap who could never seem to overcome a stupid little plastic can of tobacco... Until now, I hope.

Looking forward to becoming a part.
You hope? No brother. It's called will. This is all yours to conquer, accomplish to defeat the can. The first few days are a nightmare totally worth it......

Surgio65, Welcome to the first day of taking back your life. You posted roll but were a month off, you are actually in May 16. Get ready for the next 3 days, we call them the "suck" around here. Drink tons of water, stay physically active, and find a replacement for shoving cancer in your lip, gum, seeds, fake whatever it takes to keep you from using mic today. Make sure to post roll first thing in the morning and then be a man of your word for 24 hours. We quit one day at a time here, don't worry about the future, just today.
If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse. 02/05/15 9am
Internet arguments have no bearing on my quit because I control my own reaction to every situation that arises--rkymtnman
Do or don't, it's that simple--KingNothing
Complacency is the ultimate enemy of quit, keep involved, dont just post roll take a second each time to reflect and remind yourself just what this is all about. quit hard every damm day--D2maine
We are all in this pile of shit together--Devil6Dog
Weakness is a choice 100% of the time--razd611
Decisions make habits, habits show character, character determines your fate.--bobchap

Congrats on the quit brother. The BRITHERHOOD is behind you on this journey. Just remember to not give in to the ol Nic Bitch, she will whisper sweet notings in your ear to tempt you. She still is sexy right now but in time she will disgust you.
Hang in there.

We all, to some extent, have been where you are right now. Myself, I was in the same boat, just sick and tired of it and didn't have it in me to quit until I was ready to quit. I have been quit 28 days now and it get easier and easier. The "Suck" will come in many forms, but know its coming and embrace it. "Hope" is not a strategy, "will" is...you "will" quit, if you want to.
I maybe 8 years short of a medical degree, but I can still tell you this shit is no good for you.

Don't hope, post roll and be quit. I see you found yourquit group is May 2016. Keep posting your daily promise there, exchange digits with your fellow quitters -- build a network to help eachother resist this addiction.

It's simple, it works, but as you know it is very hard to drive past that gas station. By our word, recorded on roll, we give ourselves the power to stay off nicotine for one day. By getting to know our fellow quitters, we get stronger than the addiction.

Welcome. Drink lots of water, exercise, read here, and most important bring your quit rage here and spare your wife and sons -- we can handle it and they don't deserve it.
