I see you need for someone to bottom line this for you.  You have not been reading between the lines.  No one is going to say it is okay to miss a roll call. 
ARRRRRRGGGHGHHH

stay quit! and be a man of your werd!  what do you think you should do?
Fair enough. I can be a man of my word but will my quit group understand. I fully understand the strength of a brotherhood and would not want them to feel i am not devoted when I dont show up for a couple days. This is why I ask can I pledge to a fellow brother I will stay quit a few days in advance or not ?
for every day that you get on here...post as much as you can, get involved...there is a post counter under your avitar..... if you make it to the HOF (that's 100 days quit) and only have 50 post, I say no good! If you are here fifty days and have 150 posts and make someone's HOF speech I say that's being involved.

Being involved helps your own quit, much more than it helps anyone elses... except you Ready, and Redtrain

Why else would we do this?

When you get back on and you post more days than when you were last on, you are still quit.

No posting days in advance.

Quit now. Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

Period.
You got it Ready, quitting is a daily exercise. Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

We quit 1 day at a time tomorrow will come and you will do what you have to do.
Quit today and we have today taken care of!!

So for your job, you are 100% not able to contact the outside world whatsoever?

I can do day 1 and maybe day 2, but there comes a time that I can not post for a few days. And to reply to your question, yes 100% not possible.

What do you suggest I do when its not possible on those days ?
stay quit! and be a man of your werd! what do you think you should do?
And the moment you have access, you post up...or the posse is called.

I know the time has come to quit! I will listen to each word of advise because this 35 year snuff habit must end, and end once and for all. I know this is a horrible habit if you have been doing it for 1 year or 35 years like myself. I like many have attempted the quit only to fall to the power of the NIC over and over. I not only need to quit but I WANT to quit, so here I am begging for help from others who have gone or going through the quit.

I have looked over how things function here and totally understand the importance of brotherhood. Before I start I need to understand what could be a possible issue before I commit because I need to be 100% in. Here is the problem I will have and need to know if a solution persist ?

There will be some days I cant be present to post rollcall and on many days will not have cell phone privileges to text and I need to know how I can honor the code of committing to the quit daily. I have seen some post where people say "you can always get to a computer, phone,etc.." Please understand its due to my profession that its not always possible daily and believe me its not always possible by everyone.

I do want to quit and my mind and ears are wide open for your help. Please help me make this happen.
It is very important to post roll every single day giving your word of honor that you will not use nicotine in any way shape or form for that day.

If you do not post roll, you are giving yourself an out.

Having said all of that. Do you want to quit? Go post roll. Give your word and keep it.

We shall see how bad you want to quit and stay that way.

P.S. Prisoners in solitary confinement find a way to order hits on people in entirely different prisons, in different states. Not that I've ever tried it mind you but I've seen that shit on T.V. And I did stay at a Holiday Inn once, I think ;)

P.P.S. No more excuses. Post roll and keep your word.

P.P.P.S. Do it now.
'crackup' goo shit Ready!


If you want it bad enough, you'll find a way! I won't give you an out.
Yes, do it now. Post day 1 today as it is obvious you can get to a computer today.
It was once said on here..... Did you ever have not have a plan or a way to get your daily fix?.....then take appropriate measures
