Rdad, thanks for the note about the avatar! I laughed till tears were rolling!

When I sent that picture to my brother after it scared the shit out of me, his reply was "oh good, you found him."

I don't know why but it just cracked me up! 'crackup'

Quote from: apogeeammoGreat reading all of your replies!Ã,  It really helps!Ã,  As I was reading them I was thinking "why do I think it would be good?"Ã,  There were so many times that I just did not want skoal anymore but I'd go get some more anyway! It was nasty and expensive and inconvenient and it got to where it tasted bad and it burned my fucking mouth but I'd go get it like it was the bestthingever!

A true hatred of the poison will take you far. good job! ( by the way, your avatar scares the shit out of me) :P
Damn right... It won't be good! You don't need this stuff to live. In fact, it will only take from you.

Stay quit today brother!

Proud of you man. You are doing it right there. That's the feeling that you are doing things right. I even got a buzz. Like a whiskey buzz. I swore I was gonna get pulled over and get a ticket for being under the influence of not one damn thing. Really. Embrace it. Don't forget this feeling. It is definitely the price you have to pay for freedom. And you only want to do it once. When you get free you can get a beer buzz anytime. Quit On !!!
That's your body finally getting back to normal. Embrace this stuff now because it'll help you later remember you never want to have to go thru this nonsense again. You got this Apo, just stick with it ODAAT.

Today I choose to quit because today is the only day I have control over today. Tomorrow is a new day and when tomorrow is today, I'll control it too, but not until then. I will win this fight with today...

Dude, you have been killing it and you're on your 5th day. No retreat. No surrender. You are not going back to day 1. You are not going to put yourself through this again. You are not going to cave. Why? because you are a badass quitter and you promised yourself and all of us on roll today that you would not use nicotine. Tomorrow, you will do the sameÃ,….and we'll all quit with you again.

When you take off the leash, it's uncomfortable for a bit. Scary at times, in fact. And most will have a tendency to want to put the leash back on, because that's the life you were accustomed to...the leash is what YOU KNOW, and running free is UNKNOWN, therefore rather uncomfortable. This is where you have to have faith in what we are telling you... in what your gut is telling you... in the voice in your head that led you here....that there is a much better way to live. I'm telling you that that feeling is legit. Trust it. Remember it when you weaken. Ask us to remind you about it when you reminisce fondly about the old life. Remember that your old leash represented slavery, not comfort. Congrats on seeing the light. Now keep walking toward it.
And all the congregation says... Amen.
*Quit today. Full stop. No qualifiers. Tomorrow?... IDK, IDC.

Apo,

Nicotine is some nasty stuff. It's a neurotoxin and does a real number on your body and mind. Be patient it gets easier.

You can understand how bad that shit is for you by how horrible you feel right now. They hooked us on a poison and they knew they were doing it. They tailor the drug to make you more likely to become an addict. They advertised that shit on TV during my Saturday Cartoons as a kid. FUCKERS. but I digress.

The worse I felt the madder I got and the stronger my resolve.

They've been selling you poison and lies.
Enough. Get mad.

You can do this.

"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."

That is why it is referred to as "The Suck" Remember this feeling, you only have to do this one time if you quit for today.

It gets better I promise.

Get some cardio, and sip water all day. Don't chug it, sip. you want it to soak in.

It sucks yes, but you will get through it.

Don't let your mind play games with your will either. If the thought "just one" or "I've done well so far, I have this beat" occur, kick it out.

One is too many, and a thousand aren't enough.


Sir Derek Said,
QuoteDeep breath my friend as your body is starting to heal. Just like when we feel that itching under that scab when it is healing and it drives us crazy, so too when we heal from poisoning us for so long there will be things that drive us crazy.

hang tight and fight through these times. reach out in your intro and the quit thread as you have. get it off your chest and be wise asking for help.

it will get so much better but you have to believe.

I quit with you today.
