Day 94 here - struggling more than I had previously in my quit. Bronc suggested I come back to my intro page, get honest, and re-read my story about caving 94 days ago. I don't want to cave. I'm with you guys and gave you my word that I would stay quit today. What do you all do when you get cravings? Life has gotten really good and I hadn't thought about caving until recently. I know the nicotine bitch is still there alive and well.
You know, right around day 100, I went through a phase too, apparently lots of people do. quitforsoj caved right after his hundred, aggieheismanziel caved right after his hundred. But good for you to come back and reread the hell you've been through, now multiple times. Don't do it. It really isn't a good idea and you know that.
Nate, stick to the basics. One day at a time. Keep that in your head. You only have to quit today. Don't worry about tomorrow or the next day. We'll figure that out together tomorrow, but I know it starts with our promise to not use today. So you've got it in you to be quit today. I've got it in my to be quit today. Let's just power through this today. One day at a time adds up.

Can you do me a favor? Can you write down right now, all the awful things about nicotine and chew? write down all the negative impacts it had on your life. Then, write to me right here in your introduction what you'd say to me if I called you right now saying I'm really craving and I might cave. What would you say to me? How would you help me?
You can add to that list of things to send to Bronc - what are the positive impacts caving would have on your life. That should take you all of 1 second to think about becuase caving is going to do NOTHING positive for you. NOTHING! There is now reason whatsoever to go back.

Kick those cravings square in the junk. Quit hard with you today!
Nate I glad you came back here for a reality check. Like we talked about this morning you need to hate the bitch! You can not reminisce about the "good old days" they weren't good and you were slowly poisoning yourself. You have come to far to cave now. We have texted each other daily for 94 days I hope we do that until 10,094 days, but all we have to worry about is today.

I smelled an empty can I found in my car at the end of July. It took me right to the place where you have been the last few days and it took everything in me and wise words from my quit brothers to get my head back on strait. I will never smell it again...I hate it.

In order to be successful I think sooner or later you have to weld the door shut and torch the motherfucker. I think I am there the door is closed and I have the lighter and can of gas in my hands. Our conversation today has reminded me why its time to light the bitch. There is no cure only our daily promise. I am proud to have you by my side Nate...don't let us down.
Hey Nate, the fact that you are here and communicating with us tells me that you don't want to cave. You know how this system works by now and you're using it. That's great. The not so great is the fact that you seem to be listening to the lies about how great chewing was. The nic bitch is mind fucking you and you're letting her do it. I want you to think about how you felt after you caved last time. I want you to remember the look on your wife's face when you caved. I know you don't want to go through that shit again. It's gut check time, Brother. I know you have it in you. I've been right there with you the whole time. Let's get it done today. We'll worry about tomorrow later.
I like the advice you are getting. First, the fact that you reached out is huge. Bronc is correct. When in doubt go back to the basics. No matter how many days, go back to the basics.

Post
Read
Help
Refuse to cave.

The nic bitch hates that it is so simple. Carry on.

Hey brother,
Just wanted to let you know after our call I went back and regurgitated the sixties in my thread. I am living the pain today with you and in my mind I am on day 60 with you today, and most importantly we will get through this and be on day 61 tomorrow. Your a bad ass that I have enjoyed quitting with, your quit has inspired me in many ways. The daily text of quit motivation has been awesome, reminds me of bronc. Again funk through the sixties and seventies is normal. You got this, I quit with you all day today and share your challenge brother. I am right here beside you!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for calling yesterday. You got my head screwed on straight in a moment if confusion. I'm proud to quit with you today! Day 61.

Raider's HOF speech

Just read through this and it really got me fired up! I quit initially in June and these are the guys I still look up to. Everything you mentioned Raider about getting involved, I have found to be true. We can't even just post roll, it needs to be much more than that. I'm involved with my August quit brothers as well as with members from other groups, daily. If I don't post roll before noon (rarely), I get a text about it....and do the same for others. I can't do this alone.
You get it now. Thank God. Glad the speech helped. If you want to quit and stay quit, you have to be involved. Posting roll is only a tiny portion of success. You gotta drink not just the glass. It the whole damn jug of Koop Aid. Sorry you are now with us but happy you saw the light. Keep it up.
Nate, I'm proud of you, Buddy. You're killing it this time around. Well done!

Your headed in the right direction. Like AJ said Own It! Make this quit about you and you have to want it more than air. Coming up on 400 days here and I still hear her taping on the door. It's why KTC is so vital to my quit, it keeps the door shut! Glad to see you plugging in and reaching out as you have promised. Look forward to seeing you on roll in the AM

So freaking grateful I found you all. Day 18 - just got a great text from Stig asking me what I was doing for my quit this weekend...

I realized I have some potential triggers going tomorrow - long work day and out of town. Wife will be out all night, too. Perfect recipe for my mind to start working on me. Well - I'm prepared for it and will text/post tomorrow to prevent crazy thoughts. Fuck nicotine.

Those of you in June who I started with and are approaching 100 days - I am so proud of you! Keep rolling and I am following you into the Hall!

Quit on guys! One day at a time.
You stumbled before but you got back on your feet. I'm sure I would have vacated had I caved. Keep up with the quit. We (June) are watching out for you.
Shit, I was hoping it would get easier after day 100. Cleanfuel don't mess with me. Nate - in dreading a work road trip this coming week. Probably my biggest trigger and I haven't faced it yet. Share your experiences, please. Stay strong. I'll send you my number if you want to talk while you're on the road.
