Still quit and hoping that being without nicotine doesn't make me as bitchy as you guys who have. At least I know I'm in control of my life and I can quit without the necessity to have online friends that I'll never meet and show off to them by acting like a dick to other people. Day 17.

Are we supposed to be impressed here?

If you don't need us, why are you wasting bandwidth?

I'm sorry, let me put it another way....

~ahem~

In the amount of time it took you to come here and post the above BS, you could have posted roll, made your promise to a bunch of strangers who will (trust me they will) give a shit about you and your quit.

But you didn't, which makes me believe you are nothing but an attention whore who is here JUST for shock value and to disrupt a forum that quite frankly was doing great before you got here...will continue to be great when you move along little doggy...

Get in or get out.
What is your major malfunction?!?!?!?!

I'm not reading any posts by others so my apologies to anyone that has posted support because I am sorry to be rude, but I'm just not up to weeding out the others. Still clean and doing great, no real cravings and the weekends are so much easier than the workweeks but I'm rocking my quit.

It takes up too much of my very busy day. I cannot spare 30 seconds. Always managed to find time to buy a can, pack it, place a dip, find a spitter, hide on the shitter, remove said dip, and clean my teeth. I'm currently using all that time on something more important than saving my life.

Oh, but don't worry, I'm not as addicted as you.

The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

If its too much trouble to post roll call, you could always fuck off.

lol. A good question to ask yourself my friend.  Wouldn't you also be wasting your time then? If you think I'm a waste of time then go find another person to post on and leave me be.  I'm here and I'm quit but as long as I don't replace my need for nic with my need to post here every day and feel that I need approval from people who I have no idea who they even are seems like a lame trade off.  I'm quit because I don't want to need anything other than sleep, food, water, and my family.  I will not be addicted to anything and need to have or do something every day of my life other than that which I need for myself and my family... if you want me to need this site, than I'm sorry some do, but I will not.  My brother is my accountability and he is a face I see every day... I don't need anyone here.  I appreciate the support than some have given, but unfortunately the attitude of others here and there negativity definitely out ways the good.  One day at a time, and getting a plan and sticking with it are the words of the wise, but the word of the fool is do it our way or get loads of shit for it.  I find it an intolerable ignorance and being crucified by those that I do not even know seems a pathetic thing to take to heart or waste my time on.  You can question my devotion to this site, but just because I don't spend every moment with people I don't know on a little web site and rather choose to spend my time on necessity, and with friends and family, when necessity allows me, does not give you grounds to question my quit.  So I'm quit and the next person that contemplates trying to tell me that I'm not can go fuck themselves. My devotion to my quit and my friends and family that I have told about my quit are holding me accountable are the only things I need.  I do not need comments from faceless pseudonyms.  So, adios putas, vio con diablo! Y muchas gracias mi amigos, dios te bendiga!

Yup. A total out. He PM'd me. Wants me to email him so I can keep up with him while he quits on his own.

Wants someone to keep in contact with, but folks here are getting under his skin.

Sad. The answer is right there for the taking, but he's not going to take it.
Boo-fuckin'-hoo my leatherneck friend. He doesn't want to be here, let him fail on his own. He's not your (or our) concern if he leaves. He'll wisen up one day and come back under a new idenity because pussies whine, cave, get their panties in a wad and hide.

Enjoyed the weekend without any Nic.  The cravings subsided Saturday and the fog is gone.  I'm feeling great. I'm doing this for me and thanks to those that gave me support, as getting through last weeks was hell. I really don't have the time to post roll every morning so when I get the chance I'll just  post an update here every now and then. Feeling great and not going back.
Every now and then won't cut it. You have to recognize you are an addict and you have to want to quit. If you really want to quit, then you will be in here every day, posting your promise and making yourself accountable. To do anything else opens the doors to failure.

Daily make your promise to us, then keep it. Repeat. It is the ONLY thing that has worked for me and kept me clean for 664 days. If you can't spend two minutes to do that, then quitting is not a priority.
Why waste time with this guy?

Obviously, his quit is not worth much effort from him. Why expend any resources for him?
I'm out.

Don't do us any favors with your drive-by posts, douche.
What is your major malfunction?!?!?!?!
