Great advice already! Thanks guys! You're right! Why wait til tomorrow? I'll just be that much more addicted then. Over it! Just went into the field behind my house and blasted my last can with the Judge, my .45 Long pistol, which holds .410 buckshot too! It was symbolic to me, Kill the Can, before the can kills me. I'm done!
It's only been hours, but I'm excited and feel ready this time. 10/01/2011. This is my day I'll never forget and I'm looking forward to January 8, 2012, my 100 day mark. I know the road ahead won't be easy, but just like when I'd book a fight, it was always hard as hell, but worth it when I took home a win. Beating the shit outta this demon this time, once and for all!
Welcome to the madhouse, FF. I like the idea of blowing up your last can...I'd do something like that but the neighbors might have a problem with that. B) So, I took all the old lids I could find and nailed them to my back fence and use them for BB gun practice with the kids. Fun times...

Anyway, it's nice to know when your 100 day mark will be, but that's all it is...just a number. I realized that four days ago when I hit it. The most important number you can remember is 1. That's how your quit should roll...+1. Take everything 1 day at a time, 1 hour at a time, 1 minute at a time if you have to. Just get that +1 and you'll do just fine.

Glad to be quit with you today! 'archer'

I signed up and found this site yesterday, seemed cool and good for advice/ moral support, something I never had when previously trying to quit, maybe this is the missing link... I was going to quit Sunday, thank you all of you that told me to man up and do it now! Done! Truly, I know that this time it is for my resolve, my reason. Before, I wanted to quit cause of what others might think, for girls, expectations, stupid reasons. This time, I'm doing it for me.

After beginning to face and conquer all of my addictions, my confidence is returning, I'm gaining back love for life, myself and in return more for others in my life. You can't love you if you chew! It's self-destructive, degrading, disgusting and wrong. It's slow suicide. I didn't seem to care when I was younger, but now, I wanna buy some time! There is so much good still in this world; so much to acheive, to conquer and to experience. I need all the time I can get.

I'm expecting a fight, but I never back down from a good fight, and I only like winning. Not going to tap-out to this bitch again. No pussy-footing with gum or that shit, just going cold turkey. F-it! I'm not a tobacco user anymore. I am free. Today is my day. October 1, 2011. January 8th, 100 days. See you there and everyday until then! I am in, I'm at war with this demon and I am going to win. Thanks for the inpiration and support out there. This ain't gonna be easy, but I got this. Four hours and counting. Usually had one every hour. That's a start, just the beginning...

Just remember 1 day at a time. Hell for the first few days it might be 1 hr at a time. When the bitch hits she hits hard. Take a breath. Remember it will not last. Have fun with it. Im in it with ya..

It could be worse. A woman could cut off your penis while you're sleeping and toss it out the window of a moving car.

Quit now! You know it is the only way to beat this. I will be here for you. Ask any questions you need. Bitch me out if you need. But whatever you do, never put another dip in you mouth or drink to your lips.

Welcome to accountability, brother. Sounds like you've lived quit a life, but you really haven't lived with FREEDOM from the can.

Give your word in roll. Do not let us down.

Your job today and just for today is to not have any nicotine enter your system. Fuck tomorrow.

All that matters is today.

Freedom,

My favorite movies are redemption movies. You have a great story to be told. Me thinks that is why you are here. You are meant to be here. You have something to teach us all. First though, you have to spit out the shit in your mouth and quit. Quit with me today. Freedom is created here 1 day at a time.

Oh, I should add this. I am confident you are familiar with addict talk based on your story. The quit Sunday crap was the most snowflake, special butterfly addict talk I have heard in a while. You and I know this, we are both addicts.

You can't bull shit this crowd. Maybe some non addict folks but not this crowd. Spit the shit out and quit. Today. Now. You can do this.
