Ready - Day 1129

I have seen so much on this site. I have seen people take back their lives. Some never knew they relinquished their lives in the first place. I am so very proud of the quitters who have made the transformation. I get a kick out of it every damn time I see someone realize the truth.

I see a lot more Commas these days on this site. That is HUGE. When I gained my freedom here, there were only a few to guide me and the others (Thanks dooshbags- you know who you are). Now, there is inspiration everywhere.

It gives me great comfort to know that so many quitters on this site would stop everything, and I do mean everything, to help a fellow quitter in need.

Know this....

I can't conceive the time when I would consider caving without reaching out to so many on this site ( I would have to get through my brudda Mule first - that about says it all). I know there is nothing that these fine people would not do to keep me quit. That right there is the key. knowing this, I can't fail. Ever.

Period.

You will find additional accountability in one of the finest groups on the site.  It definitely says something about your dedication to the quit to post with us.  I accepted a similar challenge from that old salty quitter LOOT.  Look at the results.  This accountability thing works.

Ready-

Thanks for accepting us and for the support. I must admit when I first heard about this posting roll call, I was somewhat doubtful, part of me was definitely thinking "How can you even trust these people, its just typed words over the internet?" But, after only a short period of time I can say that this site is the best thing that has happened to me, not only for the support of my Quit, but also in reassuring me that there are honest men (and women) still out there that believe in the old saying, your word is your bond.

Thanks again and we will be seeing ya in May 2008,

OK to be able to post roll today I need some input.  Long story short I hadnt used any of the fake stuff, was hanging out with one of my buddies today who is also trying to quit and we decided to go to the tobacco shop to see if they had any fake stuff. the guy completely sucked at the language we call english, it took me saying "NON NICOTINE dip" like four times before he handed me a tin, he said it was 6 something so i was like wtf ill just get one and see if its cheaper online. so we dip it all the way home. hang out dip it some more. Then I went online typed in the name of it... and come to find out, its just regular fucking dip. Instantly I throw it out.  So I'm leaving it to all my fellow quitters to decide, do I get to post roll today and continue on my merry way, or am I back to day one,  Keep in mind I never put the stuff in my mouth once I  became aware it had nicotine in it.

Post roll call giving your word of honor that you will not use nicotine in any way, shape or form today.

You might ( and I said MIGHT) get a pass if eight guys pinned you down and shoved the shit in your lip by busting out your front teeth and shoving that shit in your face.

Other than that outside chance, I would say you are on day one.

P.S. check everything and anything that anyone claims is NICOTINE free. There are some products out there that will claim to be and are not. Who woulda thunk that people would lie to you.

P.P. S. Really? language barrier is your excuse?

Fail.

Thats all I needed was an honest opinion. and back to day one I go Im fine with that, and yeah there was No warning label or anything on it so i figured theres no way it could have nicotine in it. and if your thinking im making it up then my withdrawls say fuck you. its the internet bro, my honesty in stating that yes nicotine was unawringly put in my body today should let you know that I respect you all, i could have easily not said a word

i could have easily not said a word

Yup. Your call. It is the internet indeed. Your word of honor is not dependant upon the internet. That is why this site works.

Dig down deep for a minute. If my number one priority in life right now (because that is what it is going to take) is gaining my freedom, There is no chance in hell I am putting anything in my mouth, or anywhere else for that matter, that I am not 100% sure is not nicotine.

YOU GET ME?

Yeah I get you and I totally respect your input on back to day one, and im fine with that a tally of days doesnt mean anything anyways. Youve probably got years under your belt and they wouldnt mean shit to you if you dipped tomorow ( which i highly doubt you would) i was just being honest and asking for an opinion. DAY 1 it is. You get me?

but you can't act like i was making the story up otherwise yes i could have just not said a word

a tally of days doesnt mean anything anyways.

Yes it does.

And no, I didn't think you were making anything up. I took your explanation at face value. I know the nic guided your decision. Do you?

I am not against you. Hell, I sincerely wish you would quit this shit for good. I just see things, ya know? I'm an addict. Just like you.

I find it very revealing that you have not posted roll call taking into consideration the responses you have received.

Are you waiting for a different response? I highly doubt you will find any quitter here who would say you did not cave. But then again, you should already know that. That is what concerns me. Start reading everything you can on this site. Knowledge is power. Start by reading April 09 from their very first post to the most recent. I could provide the link but I'm not going to. Come back here and post what you learned from reading that groups history. And PM me the post so I don't miss it.

That is what it will take. Are you prepared to do what it takes?

Show me.

I'm trying to see it from his side, because I'm known for flipping out, but I just don't get it. Last place on earth I will go to is a tobacco shop. If I go, I'm going to eat tobacco until I overdose and die. Maybe some have the determination in the first 100 days to do that, but I won't risk it. The reason Im pissed is because I need to know that I can't cave, no matter how good the excuse(and his wasn't that good). If I know that I can cave then come back in here and write a paragraph without even apologizing (you fucking faggot asshole cocklicker) then my chances greatly diminish.

I give you all permission not to accept me back into the group if I cave, whether I meant to or not.

Way to burn your boat Gelas. Damn proud of ya.

Once the warriors had been offloaded from their boats onto their enemy's shore, the Greek commanders would shout out their first orderÂ…"burn the boats!" The sight of burning boats removed any notion of retreat from their hearts and any thoughts of surrender from their heads.

Burn your fucking boats quitters!!!!!

There is no going back. Caving is not an option. Ever.

all i know is that I can't mistake sunflower seeds, and lollipops for nicotine lookalikes...

The Main reason I chose the sunflower power, was that I am an addict, and it would be an easy hop skip and a jump back to the real shit in a can, by my using the fakey. You have just confirmed my gut feeling. Sorry, it's a tough lesson to learn, but hey consider this.... now you have a little nugget of wisdom that you pass on to the next quitter. Day 1 and be proud of that badge. It says" hey I was a dumbass and the nic-bitch schooled me, but nomore. I am my own man" And as far as your buddy is concerned, he is a fool too!

Natural selection has you and your buddy on it's list!

The real you

The real "you" never, ever needed nicotine. You were fine on your own. The real "you" never experienced the artificial highs brought on by elevated nicotine levels or the devastating lows that often accompany temporary cessation and withdrawal. "You" typically functioned more towards the center without such violent or disturbing neuro-chemical mood swings.

So what if you never, ever needed to smoke, dip, chew or suck nicotine again? What if your mind was once again itself, filled with a constant sense of calmness and getting its dopamine releases the natural way, from great food, big hugs, cool water, a sense of accomplishment, friendship, nurturing, love and intimacy? What if days, weeks or even months passed comfortably, without once thinking about wanting to use nicotine? Would that be good thing or bad?

Freedom from Nicotine is possible. It can be found here. Use the system, trust that it works, trust that it will get better. Post your promise, keep your word, fight for your freedom !!

Life without Nicotine..... will you fight for it ??

I like this Greg. Well said.

I remember wondering if my wife would even like me.....


well said sir.

Ready - Day 1066

Happy New Year!

I see quite a few new screen names floating across the bottom of the screen on this new years day. I see some that have signed up today. I see some that signed up some time ago but have not posted recently. Most of them have something in common. They want to quit. I have a question for those cruising the site,

What are you willing to do to quit and stay that way. There really is only one good answer.

It's a fine day to be quit. You have no idea how great it is to be free.

Merry Christmas Everyone. Especially our troops on the front lines. Be safe.

Ready - Day 1048

I have seen some people fade away from the site.  Some people are noticed when they have gone missing.  Some are not.  Don't be one of the ones who are not noticed. 

How does this happen you might ask.  It all comes down to making yourself accountable to others.  You must place yourself in a position that if you are not posting roll call on a daily basis, someone will notice and come looking.  They will also know how to find your ass.

Anyone who has been on this site and has made it to the HOF should have a firm grasp on their quit.  You have learned the tools to quit and remain quit.  One of those tools that is absolutely non-negotiable is posting roll.

I posted roll today.  I am quit.

I posted roll too. Hooray for posting roll!

Not to argue your message Ready, but I can say that upon reaching the HOF, the grasp I held on my quit was just stronger than an effeminate 15 year old boy. Limp wrist, skinny jeans and a nose ring.

The HOF is a great start, but it's just the beginning. Posting roll takes just seconds out of your morning. Continued reflection and support will slowly strengthen your grip. On day 939, I shake hands firmly. Yet, I still can't stop my pinky finger from tickling the bottom of the other person's hand. Every fricking time. So soft and disturbing. Think I'll stick around a while longer.

I am glad you are sticking around. And I enjoy your pinky finger tickle :o Did I say that out loud? ;)

I know I am a day early but I have become a little absent minded over the years and didn't not want to forget to Say thanks for you sacrifice and service. Happy Veterans Day! 'usflag'

I'm going to do this a day early as well. My computer at home is acting up and I may not get the chance tomorrow.

Thanks to all of our fine Warriors past and present. Our Country is great because of our men and women in uniform.

God Bless The United States Of America.
