cold turkey?

[bigwhitebeast]

Copied over from your quit group since it'll get lost there...

Hello August boys and girls...i will not be around a computer for the next few days so i will be contacting a brother or two and making my promise to them.  This has been a very disheartening week (and no not because of steve) for me on this website and i hope to come back Monday with some positive energy.  You ALL have my full support for your quit and i will quit with you every day. 

Peace.

Jay call or text me I will gladly post for you. This site shouldn't drag you down, again we are here to support one another, yet there is the accountability, that is the part that stings. Trust me we have all had some of it, sometimes openly and sometimes privately, I myself have had my ass chastised pretty good a time or two no worries as I now know the rules and program, not that I won't fuck up again lmao and I'm sure someone will quickly learn me! Just remember its when people stop correcting you that you are in trouble, that's when you have been given up on by your peers. You hang in there man I am quitting with you and I care about your quit as well as mine.

X 2.

That fucker pissed me off early on too! 'na na' But now I :wub: the Coach! Well maybe not that, maybe more like 'BanDog'

She is whispering in your ear to walk away, that's the nic bitch, "come back to me Jay, I will let you lick my drippy snatch Jay" 'Y' Don't do it! Don't walk away from here, walk away from her!

I promise you that if you stick around through the HoF, through the 100 days, that you will have a different outlook about this place and people like Coach Waterboy! shocker

When she whispers in your ear punch her right in the snatch! 'nutkick' If that doesn't work then blow a load into her face 'sos' Masturbation is a great quitter stress reliever... 'jerk'

If you want to PM and talk shit about Coach Steve let me know 'tease' , if you need another number let me know and I will give you the one from the truck stop restroom 'archer' Seriously you can have mine if you need it!

Felt just like you at one time... day 515 for me today

Day 15 and this has been a fun little ride so far...and yes i said fun. A lot of things were said yesterday, and i'm not going back to that except to say that i stand by my support for anyone that wants it in the battle to quit.

As for me, well my quit is probably about the same as most at day 15. I think about dip about every hour but its not as hard to think about it. It's not easy but it's getting there. Actually about half of my craves are more for a cigarette then dip but nothing i can't say no to.

I am part of a group that is called "Bad Ass Quitters". Although i am proud to be a part of this group i do not see myself as any bad ass..got love for my august guys and the select few of the vets that have reached out to me offering words of encouragement and thoughts. Contrary to what has been written about me by one or two of the older guys, i do have respect for those that have shown it to me and again, by no means do i think i'm a bad ass in any way.

Anyhow, just had some things on my mind on this Wednesday afternoon. Go Pacers this evening!

Jay, just keep quitting. I followed that death trap of a thread yesterday like it was Days of our Lives. I am glad you have found the resources in your August brothers and sisters to be QLF!

Quit for yourself everyday, I quit with you today!

No question about it. Period.

If it wasn't for diesel I wouldn't be where I am today. He's definitely on the list of brothers that helped save my life, so I will back him up to the grave.
The only sides are us against nic. that's it.
Jay you can support anyone you like, I can tell you have a good heart.
BUT remember your only as strong as the people surrounding you. Most of the people I communicate with are very strong. I don't waste time with weakness anymore. I have better things to do. I surround myself with people that have the same resolve as me.
Once (when I was young) I had a boss who was a complete fucking moron. One day his boss pulled me aside. He said he saw my frustration. I told him I had no respect for my boss,. and he told me. There are 2 kinds of people. Ones you want to watch and learn from, and ones you don't. Sometimes you can take bits and pieces from different people. I'll never forget that. I will always support someone because that's the right thing to do, but that doesn't mean I'll learn from them.
I'm just saying this is about YOUR quit, and no-one else's. I support all the quitters, failures  all, but there are a few that I really learned from, and got me to where I am today (290). Just keep quitting your doing great..

Thanks Kana...i definitely agree with learning a little from everyone. And i respect that you owe diesel for helping you a long...we are all weak when we first start...hell i'm weak as hell right now, if i was strong i would have never picked up the stupid shit 17 years ago. I believe unless you are some sort of pedophile or something like that, you deserve my treating you like a human being. i want to bring everyone with me...whether they are weak or strong, i want to bring them all along on this journey with me. I'm not going to belittle them and beat them down, thats too EASY. I've been given many chances to turn my life around in many different ways and to be honest, dip was the least of the people's concern when it comes to me, but they never gave up, they showed me respect, after i lied, they showed me love again and again, and if it wasn't for a few of those people i most likely would either be dead or in jail. I'm just paying it forward....

Over the 1 week hump...hope all my quit brothers and sister are doing well...looking forward to my first summer since i was probably 13, tobacco free!  Hope everyone is safe and has good weather to enjoy...i'm going home this evening for some brats on the grill and possibly a cold beer or 7!

Alcohol is one of the most common quit killers early in a quit. Don't be a dumbass. Most recommend waiting at least 30 days, preferrably longer, before tying one on.

Congrats on the week! Let's make sure you make it to 8 days by not forgetting about your promise to be nicotine free today.

While i do appreciate your concern, alcohol for me has not been much of a trigger. I have a drink or 2 almost every night and i never chewed at home, which is where i have the drinks so i don't really link the two...Now i used to all the time but it isn't a problem anymore. If i were in your shoes i probably would have said the same thing, but like i said, i just don't correlate the two anymore.

Lucky you jayd. Gotta say I am envious. Lol. I do correlate the two and hey I have to really sike my quit up before I drink and really monitor the amount as if I have to drive home.

If, when you are drunk, you come across an old tin stored in a Winter jacket pocket, you have to say "What would Smokey do?" before doing anything silly. "What would Smokey do?"

Now - have a great evening. Enjoy your new found freedom!

Ha, well Smokey, i have checked all pockets and drawers and any nook and cranny that i have hid the can before and i no longer have any to come across. And if drunk....well let's just say that if i were to be dumb enough to drive to the store and get anything i am risking a few years in the pokey...they tend to frown on multiple offenders in this state.

And yeah Erussel, i imagine if i would have kept dipping in front of my wife when i drank when i started dipping again in march after a failed 2 month quit (doesn't really count when you smoke pretty much the whole time) i would be hard for me as well. However, i only really ever drink when i'm at home and that happens to be where my wife lives too so i have been able to disassociate the two even when i was dipping.

Again, thanks again all for your concern though!!! Sorry for the extended ramblings but i just went through a minor crave and thought i would share some thoughts!

8 Days!!! BTFU

I'm outta here for the night...see you guys for day 8 of my quit...quit on and BTFU!

[jayd41]

7 days...that is all. Not even close to being out of the woods but damn i'm feeling good...Yesterday was something awful as far as the physical craves go but i am learning that when i actually get up and so something before work, like run or go to the driving range and hit balls, the craves are lessened almost 100%. Quit on all you bad asses...and Boiler the Fuck UP!
