LOOT.....  you said "Now...do ol LOOT a favor. Please use your original intro thread. You will get plenty of help and tons of responses. Hopefully, someone smarter than LOOT will come along and merge all of your seperate threads into one."

I dont know what you mean.......
You have 4 or 5 Intros going.

Use one...post all of your questions in one place.

If everyone posted a question in a new thread...it'd be a spaghetti mess
I got it.
A promise not kept is the road to exile.

If quitting is cool, consider me Myles Davis.

Unless you bring value onto my 1/2 acre, I don't want to hear it.

I cannit let my guard down anymore......
Yea man I'm on Day 11 today. I pretty much cruised after day 2, when I chased down the mailman in the neighborhood to get my fake chew (hooch) delivery. I hit day 10 yesterday and that was tough. I went threw like 2 bags of seeds and two fake cans (refuse to call them tins), felt groggy as shit, had an awful workout, but at the end of the day I made it, and as much as my body craves I continue to focus on keeping a strong mind. Feel free to hit me up if you want, I come on the site constantly.

Yes. Pick a group. Any group. Look at their Roll Call. Pick a guy. Any guy. It's happened to him. You are not alone.

Get used to the fact that you will have your nuts handed to you at the drop of a hat. When you least expect it. When you feel your best. It's part of the process. Your addiction will let you have some good times. Even encourage them. Give you pleanty of space to enjoy it even. And then...punch you right in the mouth. It's the nature of the beast bro.

And when you have those good, smooth sailing times....REST. Rest and get your collective shit in one pile because you gotta know you are going to pay for it.

Quitting ain't easy....but it's all you got.

Now...do ol LOOT a favor. Please use your original intro thread. You will get plenty of help and tons of responses. Hopefully, someone smarter than LOOT will come along and merge all of your seperate threads into one.

Happens to all quitters which is why we post roll everyday, to never forget we are addicts.

Just keep posting, you will figure it out. The important thing is to get your name on the page every day.

day 4 is huge. That means you are now clean.

Focus on just today, break it down to the hour or minute if you have to. Get some gum, seeds, candy to keep your mouth occupied. Craves will come and craves will go...

Drink plenty of water and keep your food intake level. You go this !

STAY QUIT
Greg

Or, anytime someone leaves a comment, in that box, at the bottom is a PM button. Just click that.

Look just below my signature lines.

I follow the directions, but it puts me in the support section----any ideas what im doing wrong??  Oh yeah, Day 3 almost done------today is a bit rougher---more headaches and cant concentrate.......
jim,

1st - great decision.
2nd - you need to put your name under the quitters section, it does not auto sort for you.
3rd. for now, dont worry about it too much. We will help you out, and once the fog clears a bit you will be posting roll like a champ.

You did better than most with roll for a first try.

Shoot me a PM if you need anything.

Welcome
Hey Jim,

Welcome to march 2013 quit group!

A lot of us have trouble starting out, damn fog....

Have you tried here:

index.php?showtopic=50

The underlined words are actually links that will show you step by step. It made a lot more sense to me watching it instead of trying to make sense of the words..

Good quitting with you.

Taz
There is a youtube video somewhere that shows it...dunno the link tho. you can try searching it there.

Someone help the foggy man out?
youtube video
Try this one: http://www.killthecan.org/roll/

the youtube vid left out actually adding yourself to roll
The only real way to mess up roll is not to do it.
