Ok... Watching the WSOP and an e-cig commercial came on. Anyone see it? Dip and e-cig.... Related ... I say yes because it is the nic B and BIG T attacking you. How many newbs report for duty in their quit and think nicotine weaning is a reasonable quitting technique. Been here 136 days and can say there have been more than a few. It is not a rational way to quit.... You gots to cut the cord and walk away.

Final quote from commercial.... "We're all adults here, now let's take our freedom back"

Truly a ridiculous commercial.... So now staying in the clutches of the nic B is freedom and puffing on an e-cig will set u free. What a pile of garbage. Really sickening. That is why we quit cold turkey folks. Freedom is pushing the the evil poison aside. An alternate delivery method does not set u free! This is the big lie from BIG T.... They want u to remain a slave.

Today I am free... And I say FU nic B!!! Don't fall for this BS.

That commercial pisses me off on so many levels I just don't have words! Not only that... I just read today that one of those li'l e-cig dildos exploded and burned a families home to the ground. They were charging it up, it overheated, it exploded... No more home. How do you like your "freedom" now!? Evil shit.

Ecstatic to be quit and FREE!!

131 days of freedom and all is well today.

As a ninja dipper I was living life as a lie... with zero credibility.  On 23June2013, I took back my life when I quit tobacco.  From that day forward I was accountable to myself and you all.  That was the day I began to build back my integrity  credibilty.  That was a big day in my life.

Two days ago I had a bit of a blowout with Mrs. Derk.  Not to get into details, but the sense of the argument centered around my WORD and my credibility.  I can tell you all that today, on 31 October 2013, I am a man of my word.  The lies and BS are in my rear view.  During the discussions with Mrs. Derk I was able to use my 120+ days quit as a measuring stick  it gave some weight to what I was saying.  Having a number to hang my hat on went a long way  it showed that I am no longer "that guy".  I have made mistakes before, but that is no longer me.

I remember the vets telling me early on that I was building something here.  That my accountability and word mattered.  That I could change  be a better man.  Well I am here to tell you that all that is true!

I had no inkling of a crave or thought of cave throughout all this turnmoil.  In fact, this has only shown me the critical importance of what I (and we) are doing here.  We are taking back our lives ODAAT!

Hell yeah derk. Thank you for sharing your story. You are a man of your word. I will follow you and your quit anywhere. Keep it going brother. I am rollin with ya.

Nice Derk. It is true what you say. Quitting the nicotine was the goal, but the rewards in terms of pride and being a stand up person are an incredible bonus.
As always, I am glad to be quit with you.

This was exactly what I needed to read today. Thanks for posting. There are some immeasurable benefits to quitting.

Hell yes brother! Keep on building but dont forget to look back occasionally.

I was a ninja too and my wife likes to remind me occasionally of my lying douche-bag ways. I know that I eroded a lot of trust between us by lying about nicotine and I have a long road ahead to rebuild that trust. At the time it didnt seem to be a big lie but I know that if the situation was reversed I would be one furious mofo.

Now that I am not under the lie of nicotine I see that it was a big ass lie; I was using something that could KILL me, that fact that I marked non-nicotine user on my life insurance policy would void that shit and she and our kids would be pretty well fucked.

Day 107 and I am QLF today.  The last 4 days I have felt some intense craves.  Not sure what I am craving because I posted roll each of those days and there was no way I was gonna put that poison in my lip.  Not yesterday and not today.  Don't want anything to do with that!  But the craves have been intense... Almost the same way I felt back in the first month of this quit.  Must be the so-called post HOF funk. I have the tools so I am ready to do battle when the time comes.  So I did just that .. I battled.  Whatever it takes.

I went out and bought a couple of real big steaks and got the grill going last night.  Had a good meal and that got me feeling pretty good. I went to bed last night and promised myself I was going to fight harder today.  Still battling a bit today.   The problem is I am not interested in being in a funk today.  So... FU funk!  And FU BT! 

Anyhow... I posted roll and I am committed to staying quit today.   I will honor my word.  ODAAT. QLF people!

Great job derk. I had a few bad days after hof. Nothing like the early funks though. You'll hit a couple more probably, but your quit is solid and your tools stay sharp. The difference in 100 and 200 is amazing.

Great job Derk. Nic-bitch thinks she gonna catch you with a few craves. I don't think so. YOu have a full toolbag and a ton of accountability on here. I see your name posted, I don't worry.
I am always glad to be quit with you.

Full steam ahead Derk. You da man. We all hit speed bumps. The key is to keep pushing through it. I quit all day any day with you brother.

Well you've had a few days and I see your name posted on roll. These tools work huh? Your a Bad Ass Derk!

Great job Derk. Way to hang tough bud. QLF !!!
