I'm with you guys, yeah we might all be close to just one decision away from a cave but it's still a decision. I got up this morning  made the best decision I could to go  post roll. I can't worry about the future, only what I'm doing for myself today. So that I might one day like srans  yall, be enjoying my new life.

F that...I am pissed....
You want your freedom and keep it,,, YOU GOT TO TAKE IT!!!! To fall back to slavery means you didn't want it bad enough.

Bama,, you were doing it man. You made it a few days, which means you were getting closer and closer to that first door. That first door is hard to get to and open, but once you get there things improve and everything gets easier.

Well, i'm not going anywhere,, I love my new life. I wish you could see what I see brother. Come back when you RRRRREEEAAALLLLLY Want to quit.
I have started to take it personally when I have reached out to help someone and I see they fail without giving it their all to succeed.

I mean, I go through each day without failing because I told you, Wedge, Minny, Pinched, Applejack, Sportsfan and many other's that I quit dipping 44 days ago. If I fail, we all fail.

So now I feel like I could fail because I have seen Bama fail and I don't like the feeling of that.
It doesn't feel good to any of us when someone caves. Its a reminder that we are all just 1 stupid/weak decision away from the same fate.

However, the good news is that caving is a choice. Therefore we are all in control of our own quit fate. My choice is to stay quit no matter what. A caver can make all the excuses they want - but it boils down to one thing: they decided that they are too big of a wussie to live life without being constantly medicated by a cancer causing substance. How stupid is that??

Keep making the right choice everyday, and you don't have to worry about whether you might cave someday.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

I swear I would have caved last night had it not been for knowing I had to post this morning. Having a really really hard time. So much going on in my life right now. I really need to change some other things that will hopefully help the urges I'm having. Wednesday is the worst day of the week for me at work. Wife said if I can make it through today I've got it beat.
Glad to see you made it through today bro. Text away whenever you need so I can feel free to do the same.

Hey Bama, you hang in there brother!

You WILL make it through today. Once you post roll, you HAVE to make it through today!

Posting roll with save your quit.

Keep fighting Brother, it is worth it!

Miles - +1 with you
Bama, you have no choice other than to make it. Caving is off the table. You're quit ,, bottom line. Freedom brother, smell it, taste it and feel it. Keep your head pointed forward, nothing back there for you.

It is so worth it. Get your mind right. Quit with you.
What Srans said. There is only quit.

Yesterday was rough.  I've gotta change some routines.
About 4 days in is really rough. It does get better quickly so keep hanging tough and you will make it.

I quit with you.
You're deep in the fog right now. The nic is out of your system now. But the fight is just beginning. Remember 2 things: 1) it will get better, and 2) you can do this!

One day at a time. You're not quitting forever...just for today. Today is all that matters. You can do it.
This is where I'm at right now  need to remember too as I try to get to the reading srens says will help. Thanks Bean!

Here's what you need to do brother. Get you a ticket to the Himalayan mountains. Make sure you pack some climbing gear and oxygen..

When you arrive at your destination look for mount Everest. Start climbing brother. Don,t forget the oxygen. I hear the air is quite thin.

When you get to the top, take a good look at the world without nicotine blurring your vision and desensitizing your emotions. Feel the oxygen your brain is now receiving because you aren't depriving it anymore due to a filthy disgusting addiction. Feel your blood pressure lowering because you aren't mixing in toxins and who knows what else.

I say it's worth it brother. We weren't meant to be lead around by a can of dirt. Freedom,, feel it ,tast it, smell it.

Now if mount everest is a little to far and high, maybe there is a roof around you can climb. In that case don't worry about the oxygen. Quit with you brother....
