This is the Feb 2013 quit group board. Ive decided to quit. To quit means to never again start and to never have to say I tried.

We are one team and we can help each other through this difficult time.



Feb 2013 B)

Hanging with you superfly. I knew I needed gas but was dreading stopping at the store. Paid at the pump  drove away. 1 victory dow

Good win. keep your head up, it gets ez'er everyday, but dont let your guard down because thats when a craving can sneek up and fuck everything up. As the craving hits focus on something else, dont give it time of day, I just try an block it out and conclude im just in a pissed off mood and i want a motherfucker to fuck with me, Bad ass i guess, (Insert rock music) then before i know it i feel better and dont remember why i was pissed. Just gotta be carefull not to say or do anything youd regret. Im going to the gym to get that agression out.

Another day put to rest. This is sparta!!

Its about 16 hours without anything, going from  a can per day to 0, nada, zilch. Withdraw is not so bad, I comes and goes in little waves. I did feel pissed off at myself for no reason but that to passed. Went to the gas station for a Gatorade and Bread, I found myself sitting in my jeep, stareing at the store, craving a pinch and trying to recall why I was at  the store. That was the most intense trigger of the day I guess. As strange as it may seem, when the craving ends 2 -10 mins, it is followed by a since of peace and serinity i have not felt in a long long time. I guess its my brain deciding its not gettin what it wants so its producing natural chemicals that have been inhibited my Nicotine for so long. I want to face these cravings as a challenge.

You'll get through it! Congrats on your decision to quit! Use all the resources that this site offers and you'll make it through. It's not gonna be easy, it won't be fun, but dammit it is so worth it. I'm here if you need anything.

(withdraw is not so bad) you ain't seen nothing yet... Keep your guard up, or you'll get sacked. One day at a time. For the first month I wouldn't go inside while getting gas.. Too much temptation.. after that I would tell myself buy anything in the store, except chew, and um twinkies.... pm if you ever need anything, and be sure you have some digits of your quit bros... use them when the storm comes..

SOB, this day, I want to punch everyone in the face. I cant get comfortable and everything is getting on my nerves and I cant study because I feel pissed off an totally unfocused. If I get a pinch It would be all over and I could get back to regular life.

Regular life is not addiction friend, it's freedom and peace. Be tough man, it gets a little better everyday.

agreed, you were normal before you started. You feel shitty because you STARTED dipping, not because you stopped.

Westpanel got it...Feb 2013 is your group.

Posting roll is the key. I had previously quit hundreds of times. This time it has stuck. Why? Posting roll...simple as that. The ONLY thing I have done differently this time is to post roll and adopt the "one day at a time" mind-set. Simply put, we don't quit for tomorrow, next week or even forever. We quit for today...and today only. We'll deal with those others when they get here. But when you post roll, you give everyone on this site that your word that no matter what the fuck happens today, you won't have any nicotine. Then, fight like hell all day to keep your word. We've got your back...every second of the day...we're here for you. There is no excuse for failing. If your word is any good, you will live free today.

Initially, I thought posting roll was stupid. I honestly felt that I was better than the folks here because I was a "light dipper" (whatever the fuck that is? Small dips, I guess?) I actually believed that I really didn't need to post, but I would do it until I reached the HOF just just to "play by the rules." Now I won't miss it. Amateur do it until they get it right, pros do it until they can't get it wrong. We're qutting pros here.

I started reading...and reading. All the information on here was posted by guys who knew. It was obvious. They really got it. Even our stories were almost identical...started in high school sports, meant to quit, knew it was bad for me...blah, blah, blah.

See, we're all addicts...that means that we are excellent liars. We lie to ourselves, our family, our friends. We can rationalize anything. I used to set quit dates (birthdays, New Years, birth of child, etc). Then I would feel better about dipping because I knew I'd be quitting in the future anyway? WTF, right?!!

Your brain is poisoned right now. You can't think straight now, even if you think you can. It is the great mind-fuck of nicotine addiction. Don't worry about it...you're in the right place. You already have a great group of fellow newbies in this thread alone!!! Just post roll, take it one day at a time, and stay glued to this site. Y'all really can do this. We're here to support you. But YOU are the one who is going to do this.

OKay, thanks, ive made it to 36 hours, I couldnt sleep last night till 2 am, once o got to sleep i was out until 4 10 pm today, thats crazy for me. I did drink lots of water , V8 fruit juice. Looking forward to a better day today.
Thanks everyone
OK im 2013 Feb group

Superfly -

I will say welcome to the neighborhood. You seem to be on the right path. But remember, when you posted in your quit group, you have moved into that new neighborhood. Go ahead and meet your neighbors, watch each others backs, exchange numbers to help you watch. Lean on each other and use this site.

And if you get a chance take a look at the quitter get together threads. You will see that those who have been here awhile not only make friends online but they make those neighbors and almost family like bonds as we all go, or have gone, through this process of getting the nic bitch out of our systems and out of our lives.

You will go through alot over the next days, but bond together and you can beat anything.

I quit with you today and PM me if you need anything.

[Souliman]

Keep fighting fellas. Good shit on the other side. Tell yourselves that. Say it out loud "I QUIT".

Just hit the 19 hour mark myself. dont know how to choose a group. Is this it?

Nah man.

But these guys are your brothers. Your group is the february 2013 group. It represents the month that you will havd been quit 100 days.

Go up to that salmon colored WELCOME CENTER located in the black bar up there. Read about what we do, why we do it, and how we do it.

Stick close together guys. When left to your Devices, we will most likely fail. When we face this together, we will prevail.
