I just wanted to take a moment to log some milestones in my intro here. Just last week I hit 3 YEARS nicotine free and today marks my 11th floor (1,100 days).
When I joined this site 3 years ago, I had never been able to stop on my own for more than 21 days. I thought the nic bitch was too big of a monkey on my back that I would never be able to overcome. But through the accountability of this site and the method here of focusing 24 hours at a time, no matter how big that monkey on my back chooses to be that day, I can carry him 24 hours at a time. Some days I barely notice him; other days I reach the end of the day gasping for air, exhausted. But I win 24 hours at a time, bound by my word that I give to my quit brothers and sisters each and every morning. This method has worked for 1,100 days and I have zero intention of fixing what ain't broke.
If you are reading this as a someone contemplating whether or not to quit, do it. Bury all the fear of the unknown and let us help you. I feared success when I joined here more than failure. What if I did succeed day to day? What would my life be like without dip? Will I be able to function? How will I mow the lawn or play softball or play Xbox or take a shit without a lip full of dip? Well in fact, it is all more enjoyable than you remember and so we want to help you regain that lost freedom.
So I encourage you to take the plunge and never look back. You will never regret it. Proud to be quit with you all today!
