Hey what ever is comfortable for you' We certaintly don't want to get you out of your comfort zone. Just let us know when your ready for a group, We'll all drop everything and come running for you. I mean with your leadership and take charge additude and all, you would be a credit to any group, bet they can't wait to buddy up with a strong minded quitter like yourself.
Exactly where did I say you should drop everything and come running for me? I was simply saying that with my type of job, I can't get on here everyday and post, and there will be weeks when I can't get on here. My group would forget who I am after that time. At least I'm here when I can be....and I haven't given up. Oh but don't worry, I'll just quit my job and sit in front of my computer so I can get on here. And you don't know shit about my leadership or attitude. Hell, since you're not a dickhead and your attitude is so great, I bet people come flocking here for YOUR take charge attitude, and to be with such a "strong minded" quitter like yourself. Give me a f'n break
I know this site is all about the "hard nosed" approach and all that, but I think some try a little too hard to be Billy Badass....and end up looking like a douche.
Couple of things there boomer.....
This site is for people that have quit....not for "i'm gonna quit"....I do believe there are more than 4 days between April 9th and now.....
nic gum is just another method of injecting nic into your system. If you are fightin craves till your pussy hurts too bad and then poppin in a piece of nic gum....you kinda are missin the whole friggin point. It is nicotine you are addicted too...you are just continuing to feed your habit.
And yeah...this is a hard ass site....it is a hard ass thing to quit this shit and accountability is crucial.. If you can't get on site every day...no problem. I'll be glad to give you my number and you can call me and give me your word that you will not have any nic today....i'll gladly post on your behalf.....that is assuming of course that they do have phone service in your area.....why hell....i've even heard indoor plummin is coming your way.
All smartass aside.....if you want to get serious about quittin...this is the place....there are expectations from you when you committ....that's just how it works.
Mule,
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I know there are quite a few days between 9 April and now, which is why I pointed out that I didn't start my quit at that time. I have, however started it, now 5 days ago.
I know what you're saying about the nic gum, but I do slighly disagree with the logic. Yes, it's nicotine that I'm addicted to. And in my opinion, weening myself off with small doses of nic gum is better than that old "I'm only going to have 3 dips today, 2 tomorrow, etc" weening bullshit. It keeps me off of dip, which is my goal. Worst case, I get addicted to the gum? Okay, better than dip, and the gum is so weak, I don't see it being the same as the dip. But what do I know?
My point is, many people have been very successful quiting cold turkey, and hats off to them. Other people HAVE quit using gum, patch, whatever. To each his own. And assuming someone is a pussy b/c they prefer to use a replacement to stop dipping is childish. We're all trying to accomplish the same thing. I think people should do whatever it takes to get off dip, whether it's gum, patch..whatever (obviously no cigs or other form of tobacco)
And for the indoor plumbing, we just now got it here in Atlanta, too bad we're 20 inches behind in rainfall and can't use it without a fine :D
