6 Years and Counting

[redyota]

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?

Pray if you pray cross ur fingers if you don't.

Let us dissect:

You know this site is about quitting for yourself. And that's exactly my problem... the only thing I do for myself is taking a few minutes out of my crazy schedule to throw in a lip and chill for 20 minutes.

You don't do this for you. You put in a lip turd because you're an addict, just like me.

I hate my job (as most people do) and I hate college.

The entire tirade after this statement was useless. If you hate your life, change it. But, that's not what this site is all about, so I'm going to skip the whole subject.

Dip is all I do for me.

Why don't you quit for you instead?

The craving is killing me

No....cancer will kill you. Cravings just suck for a while.

not only does it suppress my appetite, keep me awake when on a good night I maybe eek out 7 hours of sleep, usually only 5 or 6 and at least twice a week only 4, and it keeps me from snapping at my wife when I come home so stressed I'm ready to scream at someone. 

All of the above is the bullshit that an addict tells himself to keep using. It's all a lie that the nic bitch whispers in your ear. Fuck her. Fuck her right in the two hole.

I can't even fathom getting through this.

You're not alone. Many of US couldn't imagine life without dip. I'm here to tell you...it's awesome!

I hate how pathetic I sound about this

Yea? I hate how pathetic you sound, too. Why don't you man the fuck up and just quit?

I'm just a whiney bitch who can't do more than try.

Do you really believe this? If so...move along. If you don't really believe this...again, man up.

I need all the nice support, firm support, and noonelikesaquitter to keep yelling at me.

Yes you do, and I don't yell. Well, ok, maybe I do a little... _

Pray if you pray cross ur fingers if you don't.

I hope the dentist visit goes well, but I think you're the kid of guy that's going to take that good news as an excuse to dip again. Are you?

You haven't posted roll. All you've done is whine about all the reasons NOT to quit. How about making a list of reasons TO quit? I'll get you strarted:

1. Dipping is going to fucking kill you.

So let' quit the bitchin' and let's get to the quittin. If you're not ready, fine. Come back when you're man enough.

Again - PM me if you need anything.

You have taken the time to be on this site and vent. You have NOT posted roll yet that I see. I want you to post roll. Make yourself accountable to yourself like you make yourself accountable to others. After, send me a PM. I am going to watch you like a hawk.

[jaygib]

Prayers sent on your behalf, but do you really want what I prayed for? That's what some here wonder. Post roll and show you plan to be accountable for choosing not to use and to hold others accountable to choose not to use.

Plenty of times in my life my life seemed so shitty that I didn't much mind the slow suicide route I knew I was taking using dip...I gotta get mine, life sucks anyway. But then there were times that things got better and unfortunately I was still a f'ing addict and the time wasn't convenient to quit. So back into the lying and sneaking and abusing relationships again cycle because I wasn't willing to be accountable to me for my life and my choices. Then at another down and crappy point in life I decided to start treating my life like it mattered to me and then I could allow it to matter and bless others. No externalities made it a better or worse time to quit, I chose the time.

It ain't easy but it's doable. You're worth more than a 20 minute dip realize it and get your heart, soul and mind in line with that. It's ok to be scared, depressed and freaked out--many of us were. Now start post rolling and show me you're gonna hold me accountable to quit tonight and tomorrow and you'll be surprised how much more achievable your quit is.

I work full time and am full time in college. Not much time. In class now and my stomach is churning cause I want my nic. I read the instructions on how to post roll call but can't figure out where it is. I'm quitting and today has sucked bad, both computer issues at work and now bad cravings and the feeling that I can't handle all the withdrawal symptoms with so much else going on but I know that that will always be an excuse its gonna be a long rest of the day. Work all day then go straight to classes till 9.  Worst day of the week to seriously start my quit and stay clean. No nic gum or anything to take off the edge.

Look in the top left corner of this page and navigate to:
QSXtreme - KillTheCan.org Online Community-Community-Quit Groups-Pre HOF: July 2011 HOF Class

Or just click HERE. Don't worry for now, whether you're doing it right. Just get in there, post your promise not to use, keep your promise, and come back tomorrow.

Keep it Simple.

And yet, I see only three posts: Two here, and one in another Introduction.

No posting roll.

What's the deal 6years? Are you for real or are you still just 'trying' to quit?

What does it take for you to take back your life from a worthless leaf?

6 years - In the upper right hand corner of your screen is the LIVE CHAT link. Click it when the shit gets too rough. We're here brother.

Congrats on quitting. Take your life back one day at a time. Post roll.

Thanks guys. And yea, I hate being a nic bitch. lol. I like the term. As lame as it is I ordered a killthecan wrist band thing in hopes that if I never take it off, having the tangible reminder of what I am doing and where I can go to blow off some steam about how much it sucks will help. I'm also reading all the links that have been posted. Again, thanks guys.

Got mine on right now. Its a great reminder and I don't take it off for that reason. Besides my wedding ring its the most important thing I wear

i used to be like you. i couldn't think of anything i wanted more after a stressful day than a fatty.

you just need to sack up and quit for one day. post roll, keep your word. you can do one day. don't do it for your wife, friends, etc. do it for yourself because you want to live your life with an intact jaw. because you're tired of being someone's bitch (the nic bitch).

do that for one day. then wake up and give your word on day two. rinse, lather, repeat.

you can do it man. you may think your situation is unique but we've all been there.

[Scowick65]

My opinion:  Wanna know why you haven't quit yet?  'Cuz you're 'trying' to quit.  Do.  Do not try. 

We quit here.  Period.  Nic gum is nicotine = bad, = not allowed here. 

Are you going to let a little round can with a metal lid own your life? 

Are you a man of your word?  Can you keep your word for today and JUST today? 

Don't wine about how stressed you are, or how much work you have, or how busy your life is.  It's all lies.  Lies told to you by yourself just so you can continue to finger bang your can.  The first thing you need to do is be honest with yourself.

Read this.

Then come back when you have the answer.

We're here to quit, and to win our lives back.  We have what you want:  freedom.

Drink the Kool Aid and welcome to the freak show.

If you are indeed ready, PM me and I can help you along.

This why I stick you throwing softballs and NOLAQ hit the homeruns. NOLAQ is so right. What do you think? Quit or try? I like quit myself.
