hitting 72 hours

I see a roll post, so I'll quit with you all day long!

Glad to have you join us Realquitter. You can do this! Post role 1st thing in the morning and make your promise to your group that you won't touch any form of NIC for the rest of the day, keep your promise and then repeat One Day At A Time. The next couple of weeks aren't going to be easy but they're doable and the freedom is worth fighting for.

Read as many Intros and HOFs here as you can. There's a lot to be learned from our success stories as well as some of our failures.

Get to know the guys in your group and trade phone numbers with as many as you can and use those numbers if you feel like you're about to cave. Reach out to some of the vets here that inspire you. The more people you get to know, the more accountability you build for yourself, the stronger your quit will be.

If you throw yourself into this site 110%, you won't be disappointed

I'm proud to quit with you today!

Nice job posting roll. Now keep your promise to not use nicotine today! Tomorrow wake up and repeat! Drink tons of water and exercise as much as you can. It will help with the fog. Use gum seeds fake candy whatever it takes not to use. Like stated before reach out to folks and create accountability for yourself. PM me if you need anything.

I'm right here with you on my third day quit, dipped skoal mint and wintergreen pouches for ten years. We CAN do this. Do whatever it takes not to cave. I figured out how to do roll a few hours ago and I'm not the most tech savvy person out there, so if I can do it you can!

I have been counting the hours the past three days trying to make it to this 72 hours which is about 12 minutes away. So I am 39 years old and I actually started out as a smoker probably when I was about 12 years old. It stole most of my life to be honest --but now it is dip. Twice as sneaky and hooks you worse. I have no problem saying that I am an addict. I am the worst kind because I can lie so well I can fool myself. I quit smoking 9 years ago and was dependent on NRT. It wasn't long before I figured out that I could hide dip a lot easier than smoking. I had dipped on and off most of my life while I was smoking too (Kodiak). I was an athlete so in season I would change to the smokeless so I could run. I guess I have really had a can a day habit of Grizzly for the past six years plus nicotine gum, not counting the twenty years I called myself a smoker. I know this is a sight for cold turkey, don't worry I dropped them both. NRT will just keep you strung out until you are back on it. I don't think it was until this week that I really admitted that to myself let alone anyone else how bad it was. My doctor is trying to figure out why my blood pressure is through the roof and wanted me to take meds. I finally had to be honest, that I can lie or take meds or whatever but the truth is I am killing myself slowly.

So I stopped 72 hours ago. I am proud of that short bit and crawling out of my skin at the same time. I am going to try to figure out "roll' but it is too frustrating tonight. Consider this my pledge for tomorrow.

The only way to screw up roll is to not post roll. Seriously, go to October and post your promise. Screw it up. You'll laugh about it later.

Go to the welcome center, and read up about posting roll. You can read that after you've screwed up tonight.

Post your promise, keep your word. That's all that matters.

Getting to know the guys and gals in your quit group makes quitting a whole lot more bearable.

Proud to quit with you.
