Thank you everyone for your words. I have taken the day to think. I am ready. Thank you Souliman, Greg5280, jcook, jaygib, rhester03, Scowick65, DeanTheCoot, redyota, RagingJew, Skoal Monster, and redtrain14. Your words have made me sit back and realize that I can do this. I flushed what was left in the can and I'm off to bed. Tommorow is the day!

Now, roll call, I can't seem to find this thread.....I'll check back first thing in the A.M for it.

Again, Thank you.
Hanko,

These guys you mentioned wouldn't know you if you bumped into them at wal-mart, but they care for your helath. They care for your quit! I do to Hanko..I'm in May group and I'm looking for your promise to quit today. Promise yourself, me and all these quitters that are quitting today with you, that your putting down the can today.
WAKE UP AND POST ROLL!!

Come on Hank. You can do this bro. Put your foot down and take back your life. I'm not sure where I read it here or what sage said it first but its one day at a time. Start with one day and grab that nic bitch by the couchie. Wear her like a puppet. Everyone here is ready to pull you through bud. Reach out before reaching in to that can again.

Hanko,
These bad ass quitters have layed it out for you. It ain't pretty but it is possible.

The question has already been asked but I have not seen the answer. Are you going to nut up, grab this bitch by the throat and fight for your freedom ? Or will you end up one of the 438,000 of our brother and sister addicts who lose their life this year.

Choice is yours...

Enter into this quit with the mindset that this is THE QUIT. Not that you will "try", not that you "hope I can". DO IT. Grab this beast by the neck and fight. That is really what a quit is, it is a fight every second of every day. Here is the thing, and there really is no getting around this, only the strong can fight. The weak? They sit there and continue to be a slave to nicotine. Like you said, 45 minutes is an eternity = slavery. You are a slave, an addict. So, will you fight for your freedom? Are you strong enough to face the beast and fight, or will you cower back to the corner and remain in bondage?

This site is full of quitters who finally had enough and decided to fight. Yes, it is EXTREMELY hard. Yes, it will suck. But when you win, when you win the battle each day, that victory is life, and man, let me tell ya, it is sweet.

I am an addict. I will never finish this war. That is ok, because I am learning to win the battle day by day. Jump in, join this war, this brotherhood. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Hank I came to the realization this time that quitting is the easiest thing I've done in a long time. Trying to quit is impossible though. My mind f'd with me and still does that we are still just trying and that it ain't real. My mind is my enemy still so I don't listen to it.

The most miserable time in my life was 5 or 10 minutes into a "trying" to quit phase because I knew it was just a game I was playing before I caved and quit trying. When I quit my mind was scared and my heart broken but the physical demands weren't as tough as I feared. Embrace your quit today!

There are 5 of us on here that are quitting from Baghdad, another guy is quitting while in Afghanistan. What's your excuse again? Waaaaaa, I wanna dip, Waaaaa.... No shit, that's what addiction is, it is an inner battle we all fight every day, for the rest of our lives.

Sack Up, Post Roll, and Repeat. It gets better, it takes time, but it gets better. One day at a time, and never let your guard down. The decision is yours and yours alone. No one can make you quit, they can only make you a secret dipper.

I just looked at all of the quitters that made a commitment today to not dip. Well Hank, I hate to break this to you, you are not a special and unique butterfly. You are just like the rest of us. The only difference is we decided to quit and you have no balls. Man up.

Good. You're listening. Hear this, then: You can quit. That's a fact. There are literally thousands of pricks just like me who have joined this site, engaged with others in the same boat, and beaten their habits.

Hear this, too: It is going to be the most difficult thing you have ever done. Not just for three days or three weeks or three months. For a long, long time. You ready for that?

If you think you aren't ready for that, ask yourself this: Are you ready to do battle with cancer and lose? You ready to die? You ready to be lying in a hospital bed alone crying, knowing that you are going to leave your wife and son? Because you will. You will die, Hank.

Also hear this: Nicotine does nothing except feed itself. It's the most lowly of drugs. It hooks you, and that's that. It gives nothing. You don't even get a buzz anymore, do you? You just NEED it.

Break that shit. Get to a point where that need is gone. You can. Trust me.

Make friendships here. That will be THE key to your success. Just trust me, for now. Post roll, keep your word, talk to people.

Good.

Take out the dip, toss the stash, and come post you roll call, which is a promise not to dip all day.

Keep you word.

Repeat tomorrow.
