"Because at one point the suck won't suck any more and the fog will lift, somewhat of a quit euphoria and I tell you - it never goes away (the euphoria of quit), but only if you nurture it."


That was written by my March '14 brother Steakbomb in MacP74's intro. I have been feeling this for a long time and was having trouble putting it down into words. Our quits have to be nurtured and we have to adjust our attitudes to be truly successful at quitting. Quitting is a lot more than just not dipping. In the beginning just not dipping is everything, but as we progress we have to learn about our addiction and somehow get to the point where we really hate that past part of us and really hate nicotine. Get beyond simply quitting and start really loving FREEDOM.

I see so many cavers after 6 months and longer, and we all know by that time its all mental and obviously they were not "nurturing their quits. Post roll, make friends, stay accountable to them, and above all nurture those quits!
Welcome to the 7th floor Rdad! Congratulations on building a strong quit! Enjoy a big win today!
Congrats on 700 Jerry! Keep on being the badass quitter. I appreciate your support and am proud to be enjoying freedom with you each day!
Keep adding the milestones Jerry, 7th floor is awesome:) BAQ you are.
Awesome Rdad, enjoy the day!
Awesome Rdad, keep killing it ODAAT! Thanks for all the support
700 is a right sexy number brother! Proud of you Jerry!
Congrats bro! I'm actively quitting with you EDD, by being plain old quit ... like fuck.
700! You are obviously the real deal! Congratulations!
Sorry I missed this Jerry. Congrats brother. You are so right. In the beginning you just don't put poison in your mouth. After that you have to educate yourself about nicotine and what it really Does to you. You have to hAte it. Keep leading the pack Jerry. You are a good dude.

"Fuck nicotine dude. You don't need it. And you don't want it. It didn't do a thing for you and you know it." - worktowin
"today you dissided that shit wont control your life. and it wont. unless you let it." - drome
"Not thinking about nicotine is for people who've never used nicotine. We threw that option away with the first dip or drag on a cigarette. We are addicts, and cannot become un-addicted." - wildirish317
"You need to decide how much you really want to be quit." - pky1520
We are always at risk. And probably always will be. That is why I will never get "too quit" to post my +1. Every. Damn. Day. - geis2597
