I will do this

[OneImpressiveBall]

Wow, what an unbelievable mountain I climbed over the course of the last year. It was not easy, nothing good ever comes easy. On September 28, 2012 I finally had enough and decided that the twenty-five year affair that I had been in with nicotine must come to an end. "I" had had enough. Me. Not my wife, not my kids, me. Make no mistake brothers, if you attempt this for any other reason that because you want to, the likely hood of your success drops exponentially. I speak from a dozen or so aborted/failed attempts for all the usual reasons.  To the point that when I told my wife what I was planning a year ago she never believed it would happen. I was the boy who cried wolf, and this journey I would take one step, one day at a time, save the men and ladies on this site.

You may be asking yourself, why isn't this in the HOF category. I can't post mine there because, well you see, I'm not like everyone else. A some point along the path to quit that I was walking, around 200 days, I had an epiphany of amazing proportions a spiritual, not religous, awakening as it were.  You see, I ceased to identify myself as an addict.  Don't get me wrong here I still know and understand that one pinch never be enough.  But I will not call myself that which continually draws negative attention psychologically, mentally and spiritually to a part of my life that I have walked away from. As a result of this, I ceased to feel the compulsion to post here daily since all it really did was remind me of my old buddy Copenhagen anyways. 

The old heads on here will poo poo me for speaking thusly but do not trade one addiction (nicotine) for another (continually living here on this site).  The support system created here is so amazing. Men and women from all walks of life around this big blue planet are here. Some just like you, some just like me and some like no one else. All of us here because we were looking for help.  You can get as deep in as you want, you will get out of this site exactly what you put into it. Tap in and wring out what you need to get quit.  Find yourself again and when you do, you will realize that there are snowflakes among this group and there are just flakes here but the goal is the same QLAMF!  I am quit and will remain quit. I still lurk around occasionally to keep up with my count and will check in from time to time. To all the guys in the January Jackwagons, Thank You.  To my wife, kids, parents and friends who watched as I wasted twenty five years at $4 bucks a day I apologize. 

Thank you KTC, thank you again Jackwagons BoomerSooner moving on and punching out.  'Crazy'

I guess I don't understand this post. You posted roll today, so I am guessing you are still on board.

The post sounded like you were bailing on us???

:scowick:

thanks Boomersooner glad to know your still quit thats the main thing. i do see you lurking. my question is KTC  it's members has done so much for you how do you pay it forward?

He doesn't Sportsfan. He posted this for no other reason but to see what would happen if he posted this BS. Hoping to get a bunch of pissed off MF'ers in a rage because a newbie might read this and get the idea that KTC isn't necessary. How do I see that in this crap? We post EDD. Not for a hundred or so and bail. (I did myself) He doesn't need KTC anymore because he isn't an "addict". For _____years he dipped after a few hundred days black puss isn't returning anymore for this person. Great for him!!!

I'm glad you're quit. Though here is the part which will likely eventually do you in ..."You see, I ceased to identify myself as an addict"...

It's great you don't identify yourself as an addict or that you don't funnel negative feelings, but it doesn't change the FACT you are one. You are at risk of a relapse for the rest of your life. Unfortunately, there is no real getting past it. The only day you will no longer be an addict is the day you die. It's ODAAT from now till the literal end.

Sounds dark and harsh, but all it means is it's ODAAT for me until the end. Which hopefully will be a lot later than if I had let this shit continue to kill me.

I was going to let this drop off the front page. It doesn't deserve to keep keeping bumped up.

I'm happy that boomersooner is still quit. I'm sad that he's chosen to toss aside several of the tools that have gotten him to almost one year without nicotine. I'm angered by (1) boomer's implication that accepting and giving support here is an "addiction" rather than a means to modify behavior to treat addiction and (2) the fact that this post encourages addict thinking, particularly among new quitters (e.g., hey, I don't have to think of myself as addicted to nicotine! I can have a spiritual epiphany too! Hallelujah!).

Boomer, I'd have only felt the happy and sad parts if you'd posted something here that included the "thank yous" and omitted the "f yous." I sincerely hope that you stay quit, but I'm glad that this is not in the HOF. These rationalizations of yours are not keepers.

That is all will say.

[BoomerSooner]

Hey my fellow January Jackwagins!

I live a bit north of Wichita, KS although I am Sooner Born. Curious to find out if there are any others in the group who may be in the South Central KS or reasonably close by that would be intersted in getting together for a group golf thing or something similar. If you are interested pm me.

[Tigerbarb5]

Church - LMFAO!

One of my biggest triggers is down time as well. I usually pass the time browsing KTC or googling tobacco to continue learning more about my addiction. Knowledge is power!

Being quit is amazing and I'm trying to enjoy the ride even though it's fucking painful sometimes.

[hudsonp]

stay strong boomer, you are making the right choice. tell that whore nic that you are NOT HER SLAVE ANYMORE!

[Stand W]

tweet like fuck!

Boomer,

Good stuff. Keep it up. It's one day at a time and for a while you'll bump into unexpected triggers. One of mine was church. (Really?) Dont ask me why.

Good people here to help through the tough times, but I promise it gets better. My last really tough crave was day 84 (now 106), but I was a 40 year man.

Hang in there.

BOOMER!!!!!!......

Hello my fellow quitters and those of you trolling through here wondering if you have the stones to do this. From a personal standpoint, none of you is any more fallible than me and while I may only be one week QLF I have quit. For twenty five years I let that sneaky bitch steal money from me, drive a wedge between me and my wife and shame me in front of my kids. Well no more.
There have probably been 239 other posts on here about "triggers". Those are those things in your old life that led to dipping. I new when I went down this road, I would face this battle. At a week off the nic boat the physical addiction is in the rear view now the war rages in my head. My job has me traveling all over the south western part of this country, sometimes on the highways sometimes by air. As I hammer this out I am stuck in the DFW airport waiting to catch a flight to California and danged if I didn't stumble across a trigger I didn't even realize was there. Down time! You guys know what I'm talking about. You've been runnin and gunnin all morning ticking those things off of today's list when you hit a lull. Waiting in traffic, cancelled meeting or maybe a delayed flight. So here I sit, posting up in here with the rest of you jagoffs determined to do this one bloody day at a time because I will not yield to her sweet sirens song and step off this road. Thank you gentlemen for being here and allowing quitters like us a place to vent, rant, bitch and complain til the crave dies away. I will do this, you can do this. QLF.

All the community care nurse needs to do is tell anyone who is serious about quitting to come to this website, click on the Welcome Center link above, and start reading.

Nobody can do this for you. There are no tricks or short-cuts. It doesn't matter how much money you have or who your daddy is. This is about one thing...you.

Do you have the guts to give your word and keep it come Hell of high water? Do you have the determination to do what is necessary to save your own life? Do you have the resolve to stand to be counted among the bad ass quitters on this site and live free?

If you do, come on in. It doesn't cost a thing. Just post roll each day, keep your word, and begin living nic free one day at a time. That's all there is to it. And the best part is, that is all you need. YOU CAN DO THIS.
