Misc, glad you are back in the fold but man up and quit this shit!!  Even though I'm only on day 16, you need to stick to the plan...

1). Post roll...  When you do this you are giving your word not only to yourself but to all the July quitters to quit and us to you...  Its a promise and your WORD... Don't take it lightly.

2). Get some digits..  I'll pm you mine and use it...  You better have the balls to call me or another quitter before you even think about caving again.. 

3). Own your quit...  I really don't know what that means to others but I have lived my quit for a long 16 days.  I take each day and post here, get on chat and look at myself in the mirror first thing in the morning to say I'm quit just for today..  I'm on a mission and I'm not going back to that shit... Own it, man, in your own way...

4). Stay away from alcohol if it makes your quit weaker.... Stay away from other friends that chew currently..  Pick up some hard candy, gum, seeds, fake shit...  Just do whatever you have to do to make it through the day..

5). Use the tools and wisdom of the vets here at the site and read some on this site..  It will show how stupid all of us have been being a slave to the nic bitch...

6). KEEP YOUR FUCKING WORD IF YOU ARE GOING TO POST ROLL.. THAT'S ALL... MY WORD IS MY WORD AND I HATE SEEING PEOPLE TAKING THIS SHIT LIGHTLY...  LEAN ON YOUR QUIT GROUP, WERE HERE FOR YOU... 

If you really take this shit seriously, I will quit with you any day, any time, anywhere!!

Looking forward in hearing from you..
Yes sir I am back in it. I am taking it seriously, and I can't argue with a single thing you posted. I got your numbers, and I appreciate it.

I'm back up and I'm not getting knocked down again!

1. I will post roll, make my promise and will not take it lightly.
2. Thanks to those that gave me their numbers.
3. I do own it. To me it means I care more about my family and my own life than the BS nic.
4. I wasn't aware alcohol was going to have that affect on me. Apparently it does make my quit weaker. That I'm not addicted to so no problem laying off that for a while.
5. I will read more, get up to speed, and get more involved.
6. I agree. My word is my word and I feel like shit breaking that promise. It won't happen again. I may be tempted, but I now have a plan and people to talk me off the "ledge" so to speak.

"If you really take this shit seriously, I will quit with you any day, any time, anywhere!!" - It's today!!!

Thanks!
Good! I used taboacco in one form or another for over 30 years. I am not special...if I can do it and others before you can do it, you can do it. Follow the plan you outlined, really believe in and comitt to it. Bottom line, YOUR life depends on it.

Emergency Action Plan for you

When you are craving and you think you are going to cave, jump on and read.  Take it easy on the booze...i'm normally a big advocate for living your life and just not being a dumb ass but you obviously need some training wheels while out in the world.  Anyways...print off the contract.  If you don't what that is then you haven't done nearly enough research on this site so i'm going to make you search every damn corner of this site reading through all the shit that happens when you cave.   Keep that contract in your wallet or maybe your purse.  When you feel like being a bitch and caving take the contract out, read it over, realize that you care about dip more then you do about yourself and your family and sign the fucking thing or, if you decide not to be a bitch anymore then read it over, politely tell the nic bitch to fuck off and die and continue on with your life.
Very well put. I will do my research and I will print and sign the contract and keep it my my wallet. The only bitch here is the nic...and it is a BITCH.

we'll see....prove it. one day at a time.

The contract has been printed and is in my wallet. I also put one on my bulletin board here at work and will put one on the fridge at home so I can see it daily and remind myself that I do matter, my family matters and my new friends here matter.

I hope you are getting this misc. You are too old of a guy to be getting it wrong. I made it to 53 before I quit and have stuck with it. Everything said here is true. My own group has been whittled down to the faithful and the true dudes that got it. It's not just posting roll. It is getting involved in your quit and others here in your group. By the way did I mention I hate cavers? Yeah I do, but I love it when I see one get it and I mean really get it.... I hope you get it man!! I quit with you today!!!
NO MO SKOAL!!! I MEAN NEVER AGAIN!!!

I tried to respond to everyone. If I missed someone, my apologies. I am taking this seriously. This is my life and I made a grave error last night. The ass chewings, although not fun, have helped me realize how poorly I acted last night. I do not want to feel this way again, and will be reflecting on it often.

I now carry KY Jelly with me so I can slip my head out of my butt much easier and quicker than I did this time.

Yes that was an attempt at humor, but don't think for a second that I'm not taking this seriously. I am. I AM QUIT!!!

Misc - I am sorry to report I'm back to day 1. I let myself down and my brothers here on this site. I truly am all in and today I QUIT.
(1) What happened?

(2) Why did it happen?

(3) What are you doing differently this time?

***
(4) Lets see a detailed emergency action plan
Hey,

I did answer the first 3 questions, but can you provide some advice on what an emergency action plan would entail. I'm really not sure how to handle that except to think before acting. Remind myself how shitty I felt this time, and to lean on those around me for support...and possibly a cuff in the back of the head.

What the fuck 6 days is all u made it. Not the shortest stop I have seen here. U need to get your head out of your ass I hope u feel like shit you should. Apparently u had AJ's number in your fone and didn't pull the trigger. Dumb ass lay off booze the  first 30-45 days if you can't manage it. Do you wanna quit or drink up to u answer the questions too while u are at it. I am in class all day but will be checking back.
??????? Do we have a caver or is he just not posting? I'm confused?
You see that I caved and do feel horrible about it. When you say not posting, are you referring to roll call, or should I be posting here daily too?
no, i didn't know if you had caved or if you were just not posting roll. So my question is, when you went out and made the choice to dip, had you posted that day?
Boy I sure could use a beer right about now!

My head is officially out of my ass, and my dumb ass will lay off the booze. I definitely want to quit more than I want to drink. I do feel like shit and will remember how this feels the next time I get tempted. I honestly didn't think about texting AJ at 11:00 pm, and didn't know it was acceptable either. Lesson learned.
